Has anyone ever ordered from Sierra Trading Post.com?
Yes. I even used to order from them back when they were just a dense, hard-to-read catalog. They're good.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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.

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?
Kristin, call your doc. I had symptoms like that when I had a kidney stone, but it could be a number of things. Get it checked out.
I think that I would have had a mysterious coughing fit.
I had one of those last year when one of my students walked into class right after Health. He looked a bit green and I asked him if he was okay. He responded vehemently, “No, I’m not okay. I just watched that birthing video and it makes me want to never have sex.”
After my coughing fit, I said, “Don’t you appreciate your mom even more now?” He stared at me with the most appalled look on his face. I outright laughed at that one.

The status is NOT quo.
I called my doctor, and she sent me to urgent care because she can't fit me in today. So here I am. Apparently there's a minimum of a two hour wait. I don't know if I can deal with this pain for two more hours. Damn. The pain comes and goes, but it's pretty bad when it comes. I felt awful the whole way here. Thanks for advice and hand holding, all.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm sending you Mom's signature healing thoughts, i.e. thinking of you in a blue light, Kristin.

“Not dead yet!”
I don't know if I can deal with this pain for two more hours.
Babe, I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but if you're not sure you can deal with the pain for two more hours, then you made the right decision in calling your doc and heading to an urgent care.
Please, hang in there until you can see someone.

If it is a cyst, I found that walking helped, for some reason. It is very painful, and I wish someone could send you drugs over the internets.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It hurt HELLA bad the one time I had a kidney infection. Ugh. I'd say take some scrip painkiller if you have any, but that might mask something the docs need to see.
I've found that shrieking in pain sometimes helps move up wait time. The Stoics were, as a school, kinda full of shit.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Soon-ma for Kristin and a diagnosis. And treatment would be excellent, too.
Why is it always the car? Every one of those milestone conversations: "Where do babies come from? What makes girls different? Why is there hair?," etc., was held in the car. It's been postulated that the kid has the driver hostage, she can't run away, there's nothing to deflect or distract with, plus the whole impossibility of eye contact. Still. I'd envisioned those rosy, sensitive, carefully-planned conversations taking place in the porch swing, or at the kitchen table. Nope. Always the car.
