I have no idea if this was posted here before, or even if that's the right thread to post it in, but: link.dang, the video is no longer available. Prob for the best. Work wi-fi probably couldn't handle it anyhow.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
Can the boy or you call back your father and mention the roid's and apologize? Not an excuse to do it, but an explanation of why? I dunno. Just an idea. Hopefully I'm not making things worse. I'll stop now.
You're not making things worse. I'll call Dad later (if he doesn't call first), and things will be fine. I shouldn't have snapped, but he also needs a better bedside manner than "Well, at least you didn't get partially eaten by a shark."
While it's true that yes, things could always be worse, that sentiment doesn't work at making me feel better about what's *already* bad. I know it's *meant* to be a "look on the bright side!" kind of thing, but instead it smacks of "stop whining, emo kid." And you know what? I'm grateful that I can hear out of one ear and yet simultaneously be freaked out that the other one ain't working so good.

Shir, I can see why you were speechless. OMGWTFPR0N!
Tep, sorry for the dramarama with you Dad. I find family tends to be the least sympathetic when sick and ailing.

Yeah, Teppy, that would make me annoyed as hell even if I weren't on steroids, honestly. Even if my dad, who is deaf in one ear, said it. Hell, probably ESPECIALLY if my dad said it!
I am annoyed because my girl was clowning around, picking me up (she likes to do that) and showing me a capoeira kick, and thought I was OK with her completing it, and didn't realize I wasn't prepared for that, and threw me over her back...and ended up landing me ON MY FACE. Worse yet, ON MY GLASSES. Which means my glasses are all bent out of shape, and I have a big bleeding scrape on my face. I AM GOING TO A CONFERENCE WHERE I WANT TO LOOK HOT AND HAVE MY PICTURE TAKEN A LOT, ON WEDNESDAY, DAMNIT!!! Plus, now I have to go see if I can get the glasses bent back into shape without breaking them. ARGH. So annoyed. Usually she just picks me up and half does whatever, and puts me back down. I didn't realize she was actually going to flip me over her back!

oh, praise jebus. 8 pages of the hated case study is finished. I will look at it again tomorrow to see if there's anything I'm missing, but it's pretty much written.

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.
About lids, I have two tricks. One is for the kind of lid that has ridges - that one, you take a table knife, and whack a section of the ridges with the handle of the knife until it flattens out. That breaks the seal, and bob's yer uncle. The other kind is smooth but has sections of the edge curled under at regular intervals. That one, you take a stout metal spoon of the right size - the kind we used as serving spoons, but that's hardly universal - and wedge the spoon under the edge of the lid next to one of the spots where it is curled under, and use the spoon as a lever to break the seal. Again, Robert is the sibling of one of your parents.

(((((Teppy))))) I'm sorry your ear is still bothering you and that you are having a hard time with the steroids.
Geez, meara. Heal up quickly.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Bitches}} Skimmed some. Hate being away so much, but I've been buried in work. Ugh, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it is still a ways out. Stress and exhaustion are my constant companions.
And again I am needed for stuff...
