Jesus, Kristen!
No heart attacks allowed! And ouch. Your poor esophagus.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yoiks! Kristen! ACK. That is so scary. I'm glad you're okay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What they all said! I'm glad it had a happy ending!

Damn, Kristen!
Pepcid (and its ilk) and tums are my friends, may they be yours too!

Prilosec OTC has been my salvation. I just had a coworker go through the exact same exerience! He started feeling much better after I recommended it. I used to take Nexium but the insurance company won't cover it, they said Prilosec was the alternative. It mostly works well. I sometimes have to augment with something for a short time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My doctor told me that Prilosec was indeed Nexium over the counter. I don't know how pharmalogically literal that is, but luckily I haven't had a need to try any other pill than the purple one.

That was a pretty extreme way to avoid writing, Kristen. I remember life before acid reducers. It wasn't pretty. It does seem like something that painful should be killing you. So glad it wasn't your heart.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Ah procrastination. Seriously, glad you are ok and get yourself some Prilosec. I couldn't live without it.

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.
Kristen, glad to hear you are ok.
