Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[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.
I skimmed - someone had a question about Rozerem? It is a take-as-you-need med. I stopped using it because I was one of the unlucky "may cause or intensify depression" side-effect sufferers.
Strangely enough, I was just talking about Rozerem with a friend last night. Her boyfriend takes it and thinks it's the best thing ever, but she said it makes her feel like a truck ran her over every morning. It's so funny how body chemistry changes medications' effects.
Alas, we do not. GF is not a "cast member," but rather a lowly contractor. We are going on free passes though that she got from others at work. Also we should go down! Always up for D'land.
Ah, bummer. But yes, we shall go anyway! I get out of school in early June, so let's find a time then. Whee!

Me! From what my doctor said, I thought it maybe had to build up in your system, but I see not. Thanks, everyone! What I really need is something that will make me drowsy for about one, two hours, then disappear entirely. Alas, the only things that make me sleep at 10 PM seem to make me still asleep at 10 AM.

Sonata. That worked awesome for me. Or, half an Ambien. The Rozerem should work fine for you, just be aware of how your mood is.
Half an Ambien has been my godsend on insomnia-wrought nights.
What's a tactful way to say "No presents" on a birthday party invitation for a 1-year old? (I know it's a month off, but I am Miss Plannypants today.) We have way too much stuff already.
(I mean, I know the grandparents will get us presents no matter what we say, but I don't want anyone to feel pressured into bringing something.)
Maybe I should tell people to bring food for the party instead of gifts.
Food for the party is good, and suggest an org for donations (first book? msbelle's orphanage (which now looks so very wrong, written out like that)? some other kid-focused charity?) for the generosity overflow. People really
want
to give gifts even when they rationally understand that you don't want the stuff.
And I'm pretty sure there's no way to stop grandparents.
I've seen phrasing along the lines of presents should be presence... or something.
Man, it's so oppressively hot and stuffy in my office, I can't even think.
Or work in a joke about the apartment overflowing, or stepping on grandmparents' right to spoil or something?
Jessica - we've gone with "please no gifts" and "presence, not presents" - however, people will bring things anyway and then you're caught in the 'make a big deal over the gifts?' quandary.
don't get me wrong - we looove presents - and we like parties too... but yeah, sometimes it is a little too much in combo.
cereal - again
on the other hand, we once (2 years ago) received a rhymed poem about what the child did need, what sizes he was, and - no shit - a list of things that were not needed. All of which made me blow up with the RUDE. This from a neighbor, not a relative.
