Sunil, wasn't it great?
It was my culture! ON THE TEEVEE! I also fucking loved that Kelly didn't actually know the origins of Diwali, because...that's so true. One of my friends thought the episode was lame and boring, and I could kind of see why she might have thought that since it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny most of the time, but I didn't care because of the whole culture thing.
Michael tried to eat a samosa with a FORK. And he thought it was a S'MORE.
(And she looked so beautiful all done up in her sari, etc., better than she looks, Westernized).
Yeah, I agree.
The goddess of destruction, Kali
Came down to celebrate Diwali
great, now my nose is running and my teeth hurt. Thanks you guys.
The power of suggestion is amazing, isn't it.
Cashmere, that is horrible. I've lived with sinus infections all my life. Do you want tips for pain control, to get him through until he sees the doctor? Cause there is stuff that helps, but maybe your DH already has been through the standard checklist.

He's been taking various sinus meds. That with steam seems to help in the short term.
OK - so he can sleep through the night OK with what he's already doing?
Other tricks: as many pillows as he can take to keep his head higher - gives the sinus somewhere to drain. Sleep with wet cloth on forehead - helps lower inflammation. Wash out sinuses with salt water.
Dear Libkitty's mother, re:
She continues that fortunately I lucked into good friends and a good church and a good job
Having met your daughter, I can assure you, luck has very little to do with it. Try kindness, smarts, and talent, all of which she has in spades.
Yrs.
A Friend of Libkitty's.
Has anyone else here had sinus problems that seem to affect the teeth?
Remember that sinus headaches can also be migraines. And migraines can affect the teeth.
Maria -- my first impression was mostly, "Wow, I really wish I could be that friendly walking into a group of new people." Just immediately bright and outgoing.
Damn. I think there's something in my eye. Thank you, Hil. That's one of the best things that anyone's ever said about me.
I was actually terrified, though. That bravura was me overcompensating. I didn't feel as if I measured up, so the best plan was to go in with the bright and shiny and hope that no one noticed I probably didn't belong. Of course, an hour later, I realised how stupid I was and proceeded to have a great time. I've made some very good friends from that weekend.
I'll try and post my first impressions tomorrow if I get the opportunity (and if the thread hasn't moved light years beyond it).
libkitty, I don't know you except from your pixels on the screen, but your mother is as wrong as wrong can be. She obviously does not know how many people love and appreciate the person her daughter is. That's the true beauty that has no regard for weight, height, or eye color.
