It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.

Really great post on gay people and PDA. Gave me something to think about.

Our wings are not tired

I'm really happy about the new job. It's not in theater/entertainment, but it's a semi-related skill to the rest of the work I do, and at $30 an hour, even with just two or three days a week, I no longer have to nervously rely on random overhire gigs to get by, but I can take them when I want to.

This is really great news Sean! Glad to hear that they are also willing to be flexible enough for you to still take your theatre work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And the finger. I'm giving it that, too.

Oh hell yeah!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

So, anyone know if I can take Zyrtec after having taken Zicam? Zicam's not doing anything useful. I don't see anything that would negate simultaneous use on the packaging.

Yup. Zicam is zinc, not a drug, so there's no danger of an interaction.

Mostly lurking...

Heh. I was just coming to ask the all-powerful Steph a med question myself.

Can I rotate taking ibuprofen and Ultracet (Tramadol and acetaminophen), so I'm taking one every three hours? Or, do I need to call and ask my PCP this? My chiro recommended it, but said to check online or with PCP first. I can't find helpful info online, and I'm really trying to make it more than three day without paging the PCP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That poster in the article Vortex linked to talks about indoors-to-outdoors behaviour editing that she engages in. Do the straight folk here engage in that too? Or do you stare at your SO in public the same way you'd want to in private?

Compassionately intolerant

I'm generally the same indoors and out except for lowing my voice where necessary.

One old flame and I loved the South Park movie so much, we got the soundtrack and listened to it at home repeatedly. We were shocked however, to be singing 'Uncle Fucka' in a parking lot at roughly the same volume as at home. Oops.

But as far as longing glances, hand holding and inoffensive kissing? indoors = outdoors.

Yes. If you need to do that for longer than a few days, though, definitely call your doctor. (Not because of the drug combo; because of the pain levels.)

I do not, but because I am hugely anti PDA, not because I have any fear or discomfort. I think nothing of holding hands or kissing hello or goodbye, and it makes me sad that others have to think about it.
