[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.
I found it much easier to be a boss than a parent. Probably for the, "dude, I can fire you" fallback with an employee. You can't really fire your kids. Saying "no" was easy, but really meaning it under the gun wasn't. It took me a long time to be able to put the foot down.
omnis, that's very good news. Continuous improvement~ma for your dad.
Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "Man, I so wish I could channel Vortex right now..."
Me too, especially since the F2F.
It started as just a joke about the kind of Lutherans Teppy found in her sink. Hubby finally got so tired of his sinus headaches that he went to a sinus specialist--who peered up into his sinuses and went "Oh dear."
Hubby has a bacterial infection in his skul. *In* his skull, as in the bones and the spaces in the skull. In November they're going to crack open--well, I can't even bring myself to type it. Suffice to say, they need to remove bone before this spreads to his brain.
This is, of course, if his cardiologist and neurologist don't say it's too dangerous for him to have this kind of surgery. His neurologist may even be attending.
Sweet Jesus they're going to cut into his face. And I can't stop picturing it. And I need to get the horror out before I get home to hug him, because he's scared too.
I'm sorry if this squicks anyone else as bad as it's squicking me, but if I don't get a handle on this I'm going to have hysterics on the drive home, and that does no one any good.
Oh my God, Connie. That is absolutely horrible and terrifying, and I am so sorry! Of course you're both scared.
Best outcome~ma to both of you.
Yikes, lot's of health-ma for him.
And though this seems very unimportant now, I did want to note that I did in fact spend an hour on my Most Dreaded Task.
Holy Hannah, Connie. That is so bizarre. Lots of keep-it-together~ma to you and hubby.
o_a that is wonderful news.
Connie - check with d? her dad went through something similar I think. And heck yeah I'd be freaked. Hugs to you both and heapings of ~ma.
Oh my goodness, Connie. That is scary.
Eeep! Lots of ~ma to both you and hubby. And to think that people go to plastic surgeons and have this stuff done voluntarily.
One of my dear friends had a serious issue with his sinuses requiring surgery and they did awful stuff to him. He came through it beautifully.
Go smonster!
