Barb, I suppose it must be because of how much time here is spent talking about writing, cooking, and clothing, but I've always assumed passionate and sensual about you.

I think this is why I like online so much—the impression that people get of me before they meet me is so much closer to who I really am, versus meeting me for the first time in RL. Part of that is because in RL I can be very shy and withdrawn.

I think that's the same way for me Barb. There's a level of.. safeness.. to being online and being more fully myself.

The Boy just yelled from the other room that I should say we bought the VANILLA mixer.

Hee.

So, Teppy, have you finally admitted you're no longer vanilla? Some days everything may lean closer to Rocky Road, but I think you could lay claim to something nummy like Almond Mocha Ripple or the like.

Though my favorite is still rich, yummy vanilla.

There's a level of.. safeness.. to being online and being more fully myself.

so very true.

How long after consuming alcohol is it safe to take aspirin and acetominophen? I just got a massive headache, but I was drinking last night. What kind of liver damage am I risking if I take something for my headache?

Well, if you were drinking last night, that's somewhere around 20 hours ago? I think you'd be fine by now.

good news, thanks. I haven't had a headache this bad in a very long time.

Well too scared, and -- I was also in the Freak-Ass Church, who frowned on unmarried men and women having conversations by themselves, even if the conversations were on Godly Topics, because it could lead to "a false sense of closeness and create unhealthy expectations." So they wouldn't have looked too kindly on the whole kink thing.

What if you assured them you weren't going there for the conversation?

My FAC went through phases on that stuff, mostly with respect to the unbaptized. As a friend of mine described it, you tell a bunch of teenagers that the only way they're ever having sex is to get baptized, it makes for a pretty effective retention strategy. (And a pretty effective cultivator of teenage pregnancies.)

Two somewhat disturbing things just happened. First, I just got woken up from a nap by someone shouting either "McCain/Palin - lock and load" or "McCain/Palin - rock and roll". I wish I'd been awake enough to hear for certain, and near enough to a door to shout back, "If you do get to rock Sarah Palin, the kid that will inevitably result will have an even lower IQ than you have." I wish people who wake me up for stupid things were required to leave a phone number or address so I could have the privilege of doing the same to them. Also, I wonder if the douchenozzle would have shouted something different if there had been any lights on in our house, to indicate someone was home.

Second, Harvey just hurked up a rather large amount of rubber band pieces. It appears to have been the remains of one of those long, skinny rubber bands. Dunno where he got it.
