[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.

Art Crawl!!!

That sounds like a bad plan. . . on the other hand, if you have enough food, transport money and would just spend it foolishly anyway. . . why not.

(We're not just talking Buffy. . . or at least not this week's Buffy.)

Yeah, any details from this week's issue are whitefonted, in any case.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

if you have enough food, transport money

I do but it also depends on how soon I'm ready to leave.

That sounds like a bad plan

this is also true

Trust my rage

Aims, all our trips to the dentist have been highly traumatic for all of us - Ellie has had two fillings that keep coming out. Each visit has entailed a parent holding her down while she screamed and cried.

I'm not sure why I'm sharing this (maybe to warn you)- I hope Em's visit goes much better. I think a non-filling visit/cleaning would have been way less stressful. The upside to all this trauma is that Ellie willingly brushes her teeth when asked.

I guess the whole thing reminds me of the first time they needed a urine sample from Ellie. I had no idea how they would do it and was rather surprised.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ugg. Stupid work. Just got this note from old employer benefits person:

Your medical does end at the end of this month. I really don’t know what drugs I was taking yesterday.
Ugg. Well, looks like one month of COBRA after all.

That sucks omnis. Well, at least it's not more than that. When I was unemployed and had to do COBRA, it was equal to about half my monthly checks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ugh, omnis. At least it's only one month.

I've got two things I'm supposed to go to this weekend. A barbecue with friends on Saturday, and a meetup with internet vegans on Sunday. I'm not sure I have two days worth of social. I guess I'll see how I'm feeling after Saturday.

Evelyn has had one visit to the dentist, around her 4th birthday. (I know, bad mama.) It was fine - the hygenist talked to her first and explained stuff, she got to pick a pair of sparkly pink sunglasses to wear in the chair because of the light, made no complaints about the cleaning, and got a toy plus a toothbrush afterwards. If your practice has someone who is used to kids and this is just a cleaning, it should be fine. If you want to hedge your bets by packing the sparkly sunglasses (which our practice provided) so much the better!

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

If you don't need to use insurance during any insurance gap, you don't need to spend any money on COBRA. Check the cost of your prescriptions and see.
