[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

(((((Kristin))))) I'm so sorry. I'm glad he is at least ok, but I definitely understand why you're upset.

{{Kristin}} Parents can be sooo stoopit sometimes. They do it out of love, but it doesn't make it any less cluestick worthy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

{{{Kristin}}} Why do parents realize that 'not wanting us to worry' actually causes more worry?

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Today is the big four-oh for me. I had a lovely day. Long, luxurious meals, an unhurried pace throughout the day, and a bit of a splurge at Lush.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

{{{Kristin}}} I'm so sorry.

Kristin, I would alternately want to hug my dad to death and beat him with a truck if he did something like that to me.

I am grey-ish but while I am at my parents this evening I wanted to pop my head in, with news. I hit recent, so I am sorry if I missed anything, but I need to ask a question.

Barb, hope your gyno has excellent news for you. I feel ya. Cause...

I found out yesterday I (YAY) need to have a hysterectomy. I am 36. Woo hoo fuck-a-doodle-doo.

I am interested in info on the effects, experiences women have had with premenopausal estrogen. I didn't expect to have to educate myself about this issue for at least 4 more years, so anything I know is vague, so in addition to more trad med sources, I am interested in personal experiences, if anyone wants to share.

I hate to post and run, but my home net is down, I am visiting the rents, and my dad wants to play WoW.

Hee. My dad plays a chick dwarf mage. I love it.

“Not dead yet!”

{{{Kristin}}}

GAH! Parents is soooo weird. (And I say that with the full realization that I may well drive my own kids equally nuts one day.)

Still-- I can't believe he thought withholding something like that from you was a GOOD idea. Oy.

ETA: {{{Erin}}}

Oh sweetie- argh. What a thing to have to hear. I mean, as far as I know so far for me, it's an "option" but probably one to consider fairly seriously, so I feel ya right back.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, {{{Erin}}}

Erin, as you're talking about hormone treatment, I take it they're nuking the whole reproductive package from orbit?

Oh, yeah, Plei. I had Cystopolooza 2008 in May -- left girl nut and part of a FoTube, and now the right ovary, had a cyst that was lanced and it's growing back...and back...and IT'S STARTING TO SPLIT OMG ARGH RUN.

I take it they're nuking the whole reproductive package from orbit?

So, yeah, all my junk. Sadly, there is no hope for an interesting teratoma this time, just boring excavation work. Likely no aliens either. Le sigh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Annoying Officemate comment of the day (this time, not about religion!) He asked, "Did you get that email from (mutual friend)?" I said no. He said, "Oh, he's having this party with (weird theme), isn't that weird?" Dude. Basic politeness. I learned in first grade that you don't mention a party to someone who isn't invited.

I also showed him a clip of the movie of Godspell. He said, first, that it isn't really accurate, and second, that he maybe doesn't think it's blasphemous. (I showed him the "Prepare Ye"/"Save the People" scene with the baptism in the Central Park fountain.)
