Yep-- with a side of thinks he's all that and a bag of pitas.

[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
As a person who is congenitally late, I feel I have considerable authority when I say, "Yes, he's an asshat." I am usually about 15 minutes late, but I explain, I apologize, I call and I grovel. My main problem is that, even though I am normally a pessimist, I am irrationally optimistic about the amount of time it will take me to get somewhere, plus I hate the way I look, so I sometimes end up changing clothes four or five times.
I fear that as time goes on, I will become my mother, a person we refer to as "the late Mrs. K."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I see your back pain and raise you whinging about my sinuses and chest cold. Bah. I canceled on my neighbors last night (don't want to get the baby sick) and my parents/grandmother today (don't want to get Grandma sick) and I feel like a tool.
You are not a tool! You're being very selfless not wanting to get others sick. I guess the plus side of the back pain is that I keep forgetting to worry about my sinus headache.

Tea:
I guess a compromise for today would be to find something fun that is closer to home. I really wanted to go to King Richard's Faire today, but I can't see an hour and a half in the car each way and walking around in cold weather. I'm just not up for it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Works for me, when I open a new window.

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.
Get better soon, sickies. No head asplody, please, and don't be down on yourselves for deciding you need to not spread germs, or that you need more rest.
After spending much of yesterday either asleep or cranky from still needing more sleep, I got about 10 hrs last night. And yet, I'm heading back for a nap.

For what it is worth, I keep a stash of Emergen-C packets of vitamin powder. On several occasions when I've been sure I was getting sick, they staved it off. Since they basically have the same vitamins I take anyway in the same or lower quantities, I don't know why. Maybe because it is in powder form you dissolve in liquid, so more of it gets absorbed more quickly? Anyway, while I guarantee nothing, I thought I'd mention it in case it works for anybody else.

The Emergen-C route has never worked for me, and I envy those for whom it does. I just end up with a terrible headache (from the high dose of vitamin C) and a sketchy stomach. Zinc has sometimes helped curtail a cold, but not always. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any medicine we recognized today, so I'm rationing for the planes tomorrow. Wish me luck!
