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.

We'd have these every summer, too, across the kitchen floor. Poor bugs. Poor delicious bugs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Do you at least let the winning lobster go free?

Poor bugs. Poor delicious bugs.
To quote Mike Rowe: "I know you've had a long life. But you're delicious. And I'm bigger than you. One of us is getting into that pot, and it ain't gonna be me."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hivemind medical question:
For the past week or so, I've had a dry cough and scratchy sore throat without any other major symptoms. It gets worse as the day progresses, especially if I talk a lot, and then gets better overnight. AFAIK, I'm not coughing at night--at least, if I am, it's not waking me or DH. ETA in general I only cough when I talk, and MAYBE if I do something like run to catch the bus, but the sore throat is there regardless.
Does that sound like allergies, even though I've never had this as an allergy symptom before, or should I call my doctor?

I really want lobster now. Maybe my palate will be appeased with Hunan shrimp.

Yesterday, new office was loud, making me pine for my iPod (which is somewhere, just not sure where - it has been seen in the new apartment). Today - it is deader than a doornail and cemetery quiet. Bored. Bored. Bored.

I moved cubes to be further from my micro-managing boss. The only downside so far is that now I'm much closer to the loud, chatty person in the office.

Buffy Chosen Collection should be on sale here in a few minutes in the Amazon Lightning deals for anyone who has wanted it, but has waited for it to come out on the cheap.

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.
Does that sound like allergies, even though I've never had this as an allergy symptom before, or should I call my doctor?
Susan, my allergy related coughs all seem to be due to post-nasal drip. But I think in your shoes, I would adopt a watch-and-wait attitude. While I. Do. NOT. Mess. With coughs, one of my bench marks for calling in the pros is sleeping through the night.
Which is not at all to say that you should listen to me, because we are all different.
Sorry, I guess that was spectacularly unhelpful.
