It gives me heartburn, even though coffee doesn't. Weird, I know.
More tannins in tea, no?
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[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.

Because books.
Now if I could just shake the heroin.
Yeah, I'm not there yet.
What on earth is a frammis gland?! Is this a real thing? Because it sound suspiciously like something only Hobbits have.
Hopefully, between cutting down and remembering to actually eat breakfast and lunch (rather than cookies), I'll feel better soon.
Eating is tres important. When I had to use insulin in pregnancy, I learned that not eating can be a bit dangerous. I think my body still remembers that, because if I don't eat breakfast soon enough I start to get nauseous.
The only thing tea does to me is make me a bit thirstier (I think it does have dehydrating effects) for cold, clear water, and sometimes if I haven't eaten, it makes me nauseous, too. Could be how strong I make it. Lots of tannin (sp? why does that look weird?) in there, I guess.
Epic! It's good to see you here! I doubt you're wanted, in a Wanted way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maybe heroin would help with my anxiety!Very calming. And great for your skin as well.

It is a diuretic.

Does that mean I would have to pee less if I just stuck with the heroin?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Frammis is a useful non-word. Mechanics use it a lot. "Your frammis valve is flummoxed and it's going to take a brazillion dollars to fix it."

Poop less too, since narcotics are extremely constipating.
It's a wonder we're not a nation of junkies.

What is even happening?
It probably is the tannins, David. I miss my decaf tea. I loved it so. It made me drink more water too, as Amy mentions.

I have a feeling people in my house are going to be hearing it a lot.

Thanks, Cass. Love you, too. Found out about the bomb on "Countdown" last night...glad to hear it was really as little a thing as the news says.ETA: depends how you define 'drug of choice', Hecubus.

Me, too. As in, "Get your frammis to the table and start doing your homework."
