Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It makes me wonder what that person was thinking.
They were thinking that underlining the spaces would be wasteful.
I've not had barbecue west of Little Rock
If you ever go west along I-40, I'm told the barbecue in Ozark is excellent. Never got around to trying myself, sorry to say.
In Fort Smith, try Jerry Neel's. The sauce is more the brown sugar and spices type, and is a nice match to their baked beans.
My Dad had a regular routine, just before he caught his flight out of Fort Smith he would stop by Jerry Neel's for some takeout. He would wait until the cabin attendants had served the drinks and the little packets of nuts, and then he would open the takeout sack and let the aroma fill the plane. He told me he gets some envious looks and some dirty looks, and he enjoys them thoroughly. I told him he's lucky to arrive alive.
Half an hour west of there, on the south side of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, is Wild Horse Mountain Barbecue. Their sauce is more the tomatoes and onions type, and their ribs are more like chops. Heavenly.
Kansas City barbecue hasn't impressed me. Gates's sauce is bitter, and while the meats at Arthur Bryant's are pretty good, the sauce is nothing special.

I stop for taquitos before I fly home from San Diego. I drive down to my old neighborhood, fill up my rental, hit Filiberto's, then eat them happily (generally paused at the same place, with the spectacular view down Pershing) with as much hot sauce as my lips can stand and then return my car and fly home.
Mmm, taquitos.
It's nice to have regular routines. And taquitos.
Those are lovely pictures. Are you still hanging a picture of Noah by Grace?
I am tentatively feeling better. No grand proclamations, because that's just tempting fate to drive me back to a Vitamin Water only diet. So shhh.
ita, she does have Noah's picture. it's above her crib and she has another in a toy. Noah has Grace pictures all over the house, but also in 3 of the toys shaped like keys he plays with.
So. tired. But boy is squirming which means a diaper change and a feeding should be in the near future for him.
Also, sorry you are sick. you should take sarameg up on her willingness to take you AND Devi to the vet.
signed,
someone who has gone to the vet to get shots done for herself.
Finally got to the FreeRice site. Cool! I like guessing. I mean, intuiting based on my extensive knowledge of English's many root languages.
That's totally what I meant.
I'm considering breaking up with ER. Not
the
ER, because that's OTP, baby. But the TV show. It makes me cry at random moments. Like any time anyone gets a line put in, or they have a drug seeker or a chronic pain patient.
Which, like never happens. Except on Thursdays.
I can't imagine what TV must look like to new parents, especially those with kids with medical problems.
eta: Oh, Kat! I now give myself shots. You totally should have let me inject you that one time K and I were offering. I'm a natural.
What kind of shots, ita? Sub-cue or intramuscular. Cause Sub-cue shots are EASY and are for wimps and anyone can do this. IMs hurt like a bitch.
Huh. I have apparently given up on Moonlight. That didn't take long.
Fine. It was subq. And it's the most idiot-proof of mechanisms. But it must count a little, right?
I'm a little hazy on the distinction, actually. Because I've been told I need to get a handful of meds IV, and one subQ. My last visit to CCDH, they mixed up two meds and jabbed them into my asscheek. That's neither subQ or IV, and the meds were supposed to have contradictory deliveries.
Mostly I don't get IM. Had one by mistake. I didn't really work out what was happening. I just kept staring at the IV needle saying "That hurts. That's not supposed to hurt. Ow. That hurts." Whatsisname snagged a nurse who looked, shrugged, and said "Well, can't fix that now. Drugs'll last longer."
Motherfucking hell.
My understanding is that subq shots can be given IM, because subq needles are shorter and they often won't be deep enough for IM anyway so they end up being subq.
IM shots are given because, for whatever reason, the bolus under the skin won't deliver the meds properly. If a med is not in sterile water but in something else, like oil, then it has to be IM to allow for appropriate absorption.
IV meds go directly in the bloodstream and, I'd assume, act faster.
I wish I didn't know any of this.
