Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'd avoid dairy, too, Teppy. In fact, with an upset like yours, I usually avoid solids at all for 12-24, and then start with the boring BRAT, and procede to blandish other things if that works over 4-8 hours. I know you're probably ravenous, and odds are blandish chipotle will be fine. But I'm a coward in such things, and my tum is calibrated for blandish on default.

Everyone else, I'm wishing your gastric demons begone. Or at least becalmed, for the forseeable future.

From yesterday, (((DJ and friend))). So many good wishes, and such thanks we've come this far, medically, since the 80s. We'd go even farther if our tax dollars weren't going to fund abstinence-only propaganda and anti-aging and virility research for the obscenely rich. (end rant)

This story is crazy romantic, GC. Grandchildren-telling romantic. And wonderful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, GC and GC's GF!

Teppy, beans are very high in fiber, so I might go with something blander.

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.

Yay, GC!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Congratulations, GC!

Shiny! And so happy! And it should even please the Christian Right 'cause now you won't be an unwed mother!

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

According to my gastroenterologist cousin, there is no need to avoid bland foods after a stomach bug/food poisoning/etc. As soon as you feel like eating normal food again, go for it.

(The BRAT diet is no longer recommended at all - your body needs nutrients to replace what you've lost, not empty calories.)

I think I am going to make one more appointment with the hairdresser and see just how annoying the ride is.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Awwwww! Big huge congrats to you and the GF or F or soon to be DW!

You don't have to end that rant on my account. I'm right there with you. I think having lost a few people in the early 90's, I think that's one of the reasons this hit me so hard. Back then, that was it.
