The dog has now relaxed and started chewing things. He is on a crusade to remove the insoles from all my shoes. Right now he has something in one of those plastic packages that's almost impossible to open. If he manages to chew it open, I'm going to let him open all of them.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, I like that plan, Ginger! I wonder if I could train Toto to do that.

Our wings are not tired
Oh my doG I'm crawl the walls bored. I'm also trying to schedule and email things for Toronto rehearsals next week while I am stuck here. This room is not a happy workspace.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
-t, how very sad about your friend.
Stephanie, I hope you get some relief for your back some other way.
Owen is too, too cute.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Let me guess, ND--a television blaring Dr. Phil or The Price is Right, loudly, a few people reading novels, some older ladies knitting and chatting? No really comfortable chairs and crappy, crappy coffee?

Punishingly Intricate
My back hurt so bad I could not sit or stand up without major pain. It's nice to be home but the only way I'm not in pain is to lie on my back with my knees bent up to my chest (not very feasible this pregnant).
It's your lower back that's bothering you? Cashmere's ideas are good but I can check with my yoga teacher friend to see if she has some other good ideas for somebody as pregnant as you.

Because books.
Stephanie, have you tried lying on your side to stretch your back straight, with a pillow between your knees? That was the most comfortable position for me when my back hurt during pregnancy.

Trust my rage
I'm happy to take any suggestions. NOt having to get up and down has helped a lot.

{{{Stephanie}}} I hope the back pain gets better soon.
Does anyone know if I will have trouble shipping packaged food stuff abroad? It turns out that what my friend living in Italy really misses is Tex-Mex style food like she had when she lived in Austin. So, I was thinking I would send her some hot sauce and a few other items in a care package.

she's doing some research now. She suggested a pose, ardha chandrasana or half moon pose, but I can only find pictures of a variation of it where you balance on one leg and I don't know if I'm up to describing how to do the version she recommended. Basically, you are standing up straight and you raise your arms straight over your head and clasp your hands together. Your arms frame your ears (be sure to keep your shoulders down). And then you stretch over to each side making a gentle s-curve with your spine. So, if you are stretching to the right, you want to bring your left hip a bit forward.
It's a great gentle stretch for your lower back and your belly won't impede.
