Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Taz totally has a cold. He woke me up this morning by sneezing in my face.

It's a good thing he's so cute and otherwise awesome.

He is getting better though, back to his old self.

I'm getting the pig!

Anyone know what kind of headache is on one side, gets worse with movement, lasts two days, but isn't a migraine? Also, doesn't respond to painkillers much.

It might be sinus related. Have you tried a decongestant?

And Happy belated Birthday wishes to Cashmere, Matt, and Megan!

I agree. I get sinus headaches on my left side, sometimes I'm not even stuffed up at all. Usually allergy related. As for painkillers not working, if it's sinus related, once you alleviate the pressure with a decongestant, you'll be fine. although if you have something with a decongestant and a pain reliever, that might be best.

Okay, the latest airline bullshit? I booked a ticket on Orbitz, realized that I didn't get a seat assignment. I called the airline, because if you don't have a seat assignment, they don't guarantee you a seat on the plane (even if you have a ticket in your hand). I'm told that I can't get a seat assignment on my outbound flight until 24 hours before the flight, or I can PAY six dollars to get a seat assignment now. I can get a seat on the return because it was a higher fare. I know that it's $6, and I'm not even paying it because it's work travel, but WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! I'm never flying AirTran again.

That so blows, Vortex. I've always booked my flights through Orbitz, but I always fly either American or United, so I've had very few problems. However, family members have had problems with hotel bookings through both Orbitz and Expedia, so I'm avoiding doing that.

He is getting better though, back to his old self.

Yay for healthier Taz!! Did the vet say what was wrong with him?

I hate ATA. They lost my son's luggage one time and took four days getting it back to us. I was not a happy camper having to replace his wardrobe while waiting for it. They gave him a free ticket, but the doofus lost part of it and never got to use it.

Some kind of infection/fever thing. They weren't able to pinpoint it but since he is improving, I guess we are going in the right direction.

You're lucky. He was probably trying to steal your breath.

That sucks, Vortex. Hates dealing with airlines.

Glad Taz is getting better.

ION, my ovaries hurt. Damn Clomid.

Argh. I is a moron.

Why did I pick a flight that leaves at 6AM tomorrow? Which means I have to be at the airport at 5AM tomorrow? When I don't want to drive my car there, since I am doing this trip for fun, and don't want to pay for a week's worth of parking? Sigh. Nor do I want to trust a cab to show up when I've called them at that hour...but it's not like I'm going to ask any of my friends to get up at that hour...I guess cab it is.
