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.

No wait, GI-ma to Friend C.

MM, do you want spelling errors pointed out or kept to ourselves? (I'm not trying to be a PITA, sincere question).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think you should arise from your Thai sojourn and return thence to Egypt, where I could join you and we could run a totally kickass, insh'allah, two-foreign-chicks English school.
That would be the BEST. SCHOOL. EVER!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Huh. I seem to be getting sucked into Wizard Rock. Or at least, I think The Whomping Willows' song House of Awesome is fab. And I'm quite charmed by their 'In Which Draco and Harry Make Out' too. (And The Moaning Myrtles' song 'Prefects Are Hot' was quite cute, and made me think of Aimee.)
Bwah!!! t marks post for future listening pleasure
Epic, feel free to correct his spelling.

(2) Gas-X [which is my new best friend]
Yeah, when Emmett was suffering from sharp abdominal pain but didn't have any diarrhea or fever I figured it might be bad gas. He was crying in the car it hurt so bad, but mere minutes after taking the Gax-X he had relief.
It's chemistry in your stomach!
That would be the BEST. SCHOOL. EVER!
Even more than Buffista Island, I think I'd like Buffista Academy. The theater program alone would be world class.

Thank you. (Hey, I'm a Spelling Pedant, I own it).
"...scientific leap that will lead to..."
It probably caught my eye because it's the exact opposite of my current biggest spelling peeve - the past tense of "to lead" is "led", not "lead". So at first glance I was pleased to see it. Then went, "Wait. What?"

No, please, correct me.
Just be aware that by the time they post it may be far too late to actually correct on the site.
At least without a major PITA process.
In this specific case, it was, I promise, a typo.

MM, do you want spelling errors pointed out or kept to ourselves?Whew, I was looking at that going, "Huh, is that right", but my spelling/grammar are HORRID, so I wasn't sure. I feel much better about my skills now!
I took a combination of (1) medication that makes the GI tract chill the fuck out, (2) Gas-X [which is my new best friend], and (3) really kick-ass probiotics [the Pearls kind]. When things calmed down (after about a month or so), I stopped the Rx medication and Gas-X, and whenever I get that lower abdominal crampy pain, I take charcoal capsules, which KICK ASS at de-bloating any gas, etc., in the lower GI tract.Hum, I wonder if Gas-X or the charcoal caps would help me. With my lovely gall bladder problem, at random moments I go from eating a lovely meal, to 30-45 later my insides feeling like the good year blimp, to about 10-20 min later... well... how to say... the gas evacuates and takes everything with it. Kinda like an air enema from the inside or something. Not pretty. Would the Gas-X hit the lower GI and break up the gas in a timely manner? I'd love to not get to that 3rd phase, as I am not much of a runner. But it hits fast when it hits.

I'm here, Gar. Thanks for asking.
S is more or less the same -- still on the ventilator, still having difficulty keeping her blood pressure up, and her fever keeps hovering around 99 to 100.
The good news is that the edema in her lungs has gone down considerably, and none of her cultures have produced any evidence of infection, so she may not be sceptic after all (it seems that there's still plenty of guessing going on).
She's been making tiny incremental steps of improvement every day. Now that it's four days out, and there's a bigger big picture to look at, she's definitely improving. The difference between now and four days ago is remarkable.
That being said, she's still not out of the woods by any stretch. Hopefully they'll actually be able to take her off the ventilator soon, as there's always a concern that the longer a person is on a ventilator, the harder it is to take them off of it.
