tommyrot, I know it was the best choice for Senor Sock, but I'm so sorry that the situation existed where you had to make it. He was damned lucky to have you as his human.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.
Yay, Hec and Emmett! Congratulations on the win!
Oh, Hec! How exciting for you guys! Congratulations.
I am so very, very sunburned. I'm afraid to take off my top; it's going to hurt very, very badly. And I have no good lotion to put on it. And the grocery store and pharmacy are closed, so no getting any until tomorrow.
Can I get a collective, "OUCH!"?
vw, I can't remember if you can take ibuprofen (somebody here can't, and I just can't remember who); if you *can,* then take 2. It's not a magical cure-all, but it will help, believe it or not.
And yay Emmett and Emmett's team!!!
vw, also -- do you have any vinegar? (White vinegar or cider vinegar -- NOT balsamic or red wine.) Seriously, it works to quell the burn-y pain. Just soak a washcloth with it, and pat the sunburned areas and let air dry. Or if you have an empty spray bottle, pour the vinegar in that, and spray it on.
I speak from many years of sunburns as a fair-skinned kid.
Yay, Emmett!
Random snippet of conversation with Paul.
Me: "It's a truly tragic hole in our collection that we don't have Zeppelin IV."
Paul: "I don't think we have any Zeppelin."
Me: "We don't, because mine didn't make the transition from tape to CD. I wonder if there's a store where I could go get Zeppelin IV and some cheap beer."
Paul: "The same store?"
Me: "Yes. The Zeppelin IV and Cheap Beer Store."
Can someone find em the Zeppelin IV and Cheap Beer Store? I think it would really help this freaking writing I'm trying to do if it existed.
Ok. Just took ibuprofen, and I'll try the vinegar. Just took off my top and put on a very soft t-shirt. It's worse then I thought, and most of the way down my arms to my elbow. I'm glad I had a good day, because otherwise I'd be beating myself up for being this stupid.
VW, sunburn sneaks up on the best of us.
The Zeppelin IV and Cheap Beer Store
Get thee to a truck stop!
Get thee to a truck stop!
The Flying J is, like, a zillion miles south of me, damn it! And I think all they have is both kinds of music, country and western. Damn city life!
Seriously, I should just go hit Barnes and Noble and the neighboring QFC, but I won't because that's TWO stores, and I only have the motivation for one.
