Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think that part of the key for me was that I did not do a damn thing for an entire week. Seriously. A big day was moving from the bed to the chair

This is key, I think that's where my BFF went wrong. After a couple of days or so she started feeling a bit better and went out shopping. She said it put her recovery back a couple of weeks (but she did get some really cute shoes on sale that day!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Anyone know a quick substitute for nail polish remover?

What is even happening?

Can you cover it with another color?

My other options are purple, blue, and another blue. I have ecclectic taste.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well it's not good for your nails but I have been known to chew the polish off. (and spit it out!)

Crisis averted. Found the nail polish remover. My next option was insect repellant.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

schadenfreude

this is not something I normally feel. or even really 'get'. Except in the case of Matt's co. There is the beginning of a realization of what his leaveing means. and so far only two people know. It isn't that Matt is unique. there are 4 people that can do what he does and hit the ground running ( one left the co about a year and a half ago- the other 3 include Matt and the 2 others on his team) I think the only people that could come close are over 45 so they have had some really broad spectrum experience and they did things the hard way for a long time. and they want a lot more $$ if they need to travel the way Matt has been.Matt gave his BigBoss a list of skill set. Matt was impressed with himself - BigBoss blanched.

Did they really think Matt has been exaggerating for the last 3 years?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

OTOH, the people at The Biltmore last night were ... interesting. M and decided it was a pimp convention. Until we saw the sign that it a memorial so we decided it was a pimp memorial.Seriously - the men were all dressed like Flavor Flav and the women? All of em AT LEAST 5'10", a size 2 (if that big), and dressed ... interestingly. My favorite was the one with a full length mink coat, Dr Zhivago fur hat, and silver sequined mini dress. Craxy.

Was it possibly a memorial for Anna Nicole?

beth, I was so excited to read Matt's good news. All the best to him (and for you -- Scott is so much happier now that he's out of his prior, unhealthy employment situation, and even a bad day in his new situation is worlds better).

HIVEMIND: How long does it take the body to metabolize a glass of wine (probably 4ish ounces)? How long would it take it to metabolize two glasses of wine?

I am getting a prescription for an antibiotic, but I had a very Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and dammit, I'm having a glass of wine, first. I know I can't drink while I'm on the antibiotic, and won't, but I figured I'd delay the first pill 'til after the wine has worn off.

On average it takes about an hour to metabolize each 6 oz. glass of medium body wine. The more you weigh, the lower your blood-alcohol-content.
