[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.

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.

Seska, I hope that Tamiflu helps.

Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery.

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

Apparently some Whole Foods stores now have signs up at each register apologizing to anyone who was offended by the article and stating that it was John Mackey's personal opinion and not the official position of Whole Foods.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh Seska... hugs and here's hoping you feel better very soon. So glad you have the Girl to take care of you.

Somehow, I suspect that sign isn't up at the WF in Jacksonville. Shame, too, since I actually really liked it and they had my good cheeses. Well, the new Fresh Market should be done in a couple of months and it's going to be larger than the current one.

Stupid people messing with my food.

The status is NOT quo.

Hi everyone. On our way home finally.

Seska, I'm sorry to hear you're so ill. Sean, happy to hear you're happy. And I promise not to say told you so. Hee.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm in santa rosa -- seeing all the peanuts stuff here while wandering around a town full of peanuts statues is just a tad surreal....

...Are you sure you're not in Mpls/St. Paul?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe is, as we speak, disassembling the washer and making it his bitch. Hopefully, it is still a relatively inexpensive fix.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Thanks for the recovery wishes, all!

I'm mostly sleeping, drinking hot drinks, and whining about having to cancel a barbeque tonight and a visit to an old friend on Tuesday. Apparently I don't mind a week off my dissertation, though. Heh.

Keep having the strangest dreams, while dozing, about people accusing me of infecting them with swine flu. Freaky. And The Girl's mother has suggested that I should have been wearing a mask around London, so it's sort of my own fault. This is quite funny, as it's just flu (and if I'd gone around in a mask, I might have got arrested as a suspected terrorist...)

Just read up on the Whole Foods debate. Very interesting. I don't think we have a whole food store chain of comparable size here, but I have a feeling that my local, much-loved whole food shop (where I can get wheat-free cake and other lovely things) would espouse similar ideas if it thought anyone was listening. I still like wheat-free cake. I'd be boycotting Whole Foods if I were in the US, though. People are entirely responsible for their own state of health? What with having a genetic disorder, I'm inclined to disagree a bit...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

P-C, remind me: is your family Gujarati?

Yep.
