[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

D has an ear infection,

Ouch. I hope he feels better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I hope he can have some meds?

Yep, he's on a 10-day course of amoxicillin and Tylenol for the next 48 hours for the pain & fever. Which reminds me, I need to pick up a medicine syringe on the way home, as he has recently decided that the medicine-dispensing pacifier is a horrible horrible torture device that must never EVER go in his mouth.

Poor D!

At the doctor's office yesterday I had my first normal blood pressure reading in years -- which is really quite amazing because they kept me waiting for 60+ minutes and I was quite angry about it. I attribute this sudden loss of pressure to hanging out with the puppy.

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.

Aw, poor kid. Get better soon, little guy.

that's great - good for your doctor.

You're not the only one who has said this - does any child like that thing?

Well, I've seen it mentioned positively on ParentHacks (as a way to help babies' ears not pop on airplanes - just fill it with breastmilk instead of medicine), but D hates the thing like poison. He doesn't mind the spoon, but only because he can twist his head and get away from it...

Yay puppy!

Because books.

Yay, Sparky! Puppies are very good for blood pressure, I think. Unless they're chewing your good shoes. Or the rent money, as my brother's dog did once.

Poor D! Ear infections are the worst. We never used the medicine pacifier, though. I'm not sure I've ever seen one.

really? as opposed to a bottle, sippy cup, or just plain nursing? huh.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

does any child like that thing?

How could they? You have this wonderful sucky thing that relaxes and soothes you, and then one day they give it to you all innocent-like and bam! Cherry-flavored betrayal. It's diabolical.

t has never seen or even heard of these before

Trust my rage

Jess - was the Tylenol prescribed? I thought it had all been taken off the shelves which is why I'm asking.
