Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Second, if you have an emotional problem with food and decide to get the surgery, you'll still have an emotional problem.

There's a bar owner I know who had the surgery, and then didn't pay attention to what he ate and drank, so he ended up breaking the band around his stomach. Ai yi yi. This is also the same dude who's had 2 hip replacements, and he's only 32. He's got issues, for sure.

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

The gastric bypass (? is that the formal name) is kind of evil.
Exactly! That was the rest of the conversation with her. You have to avoid dairy or some such? eliminate sugars? When I heard the stuff you have to do, I was like "well, just do that and avoid the surgery, the results might be slower, but a hell of a lot safer"

Thrive to spite them

One of my cousins had gastic bypass surgery and lost a bunch of weight, but never dealt with the underlying issues of why she was eating. So she's gained most of it back.

And she has issues, she switched to complusive shopping. Plus most of her family thinks she's bipolar but won't talk to her for fear she'll fly off the handle and cut off access to her children.

I'm ready to go. I don't really need to leave for a half hour. My makeup will probably all melt off by then.

Someone entertain me! Keep me from being nervous!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Awww...now I feel all warm and snuggly.

ION, my cat seems to have something wrong with his ear. He keeps scratching it and grooming it and shaking his head a lot. It must not feel good, either, because when I try to touch it, he jerks away. He will let me, he just doesn't like it.

I don't see anything in there, but there must be something wrong. Vet appt. is made for tomorrow.

Oh, no, poor Mickey!! Give him lots of hugs for me.

How are you, ChiKat? When does school go back?

I know!! Poor putty tat.

I'm about to head off to OfficeMax. They have a special on pocket folders. A penny each with a limit of 10. I require my students to have a pocket folder that is used just for my class and they can leave in the room. I have a lot of students who can't afford them, so I keep some around for those students. At a penny each, it's a good deal. I got 10 yesterday and will get another 10 today and probably more later this week.
