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.

Well, yes. There is that as well. She told me to have my psychopharm call if he wants to over-rule them. I see him today. I'm sure he's going to over-rule. He's kind of like that.

Any English teachers around? What age range would you say Island of the Blue Dolphins is written towards?

Amazon gives it as a 9-12 age range which seems about right. I think I read it in fifth grade.

Ok. Thanks. It's a little old for my kids, which I was afraid of.

Are you looking for anything specific, vw, or just something enjoyable you can read to the kids?

I'm looking for a classic, or I guess it doesn't have to be a classic, that they probably haven't read. My kids range in age from 4-10. I'm thinking about using it on Thursdays, which is imagination day--start with reading a chapter or two, then have the kids do some sort of imaginative activity afterwards (today I'm thinking of having them draw an image from the story that really struck them...which I will explain in much younger terminology to them...I've got some sketch paper and colored pencils for this activity).

Ok. I understand that for a sleep study they want you unmedicated so they can see how you actually sleep naturally. But, people, I WILL NOT SLEEP without my medication, so it's kind of pointless to see how I sleep if I won't sleep.

There's so much about sleep studies that is just NOT condusive to sleeping successfully. Especially if you've trained yourself OUT of sleeping on your back (since that increases snoring to the nth degree). But that may just have been my issue.

However, the beds are amazingly comfortable.
