But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

wrod, billytea. Coming from you, that means A LOT. *shudder*

Hey, I didn't say I was faint-hearted. I think it's incredible. It actually functionally replaces the organ it parasitises!

Now tagless for your comfort.

And without any harm to the host. But that photo is going to keep me up at night...wait a minute....

Especially since the fish appears to be wearing a set of dentures.

If that thing's not an argument for evolution, I don't know what is.

And it's probably going to be making a guest appearance in my nightmares tonight.

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

Kristin, it could be an odd virus. That pretty much sounds like my life, which gets dominated from time to time by a four-year-old case of post-viral fatigue (all mixed in with my genetic condition). The original virus was the same - dizziness and exhaustion. If it carries on, I'd go with talking to a GP. (Also, health~ma! I hope you feel better really soon.)

San Francisco's Brava theater has the annual Sins Invalid show about sexuality and disability.

I've heard (from several people including my favourite feminist disability blogger) that's really good. I'd love to go one year.

I just got off the phone with my sister (working out our Christmas visit). She's the one whose infant son had an aneurysm last year. He survived, though with complications, most notably seizures. They've been trying to treat them with anti-epilepsy medication, but lately it's stopped having much effect. This I knew; what I didn't know was that he's having something like 40 seizures each day. Almost twice an hour, including when he's asleep. I just don't know how she and her husband can cope with it.

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.

Oh, billytea. That just sucks. Kid's too little for the vagal nerve stimulator, I'm sure. Poor kid. Poor family.

Trust my rage

Kristin, like Seska I was thinking virus? Frisco was exhausted with no other symptoms for about 5 days before he got the flu.

billytea, best wishes for your sister's child, and their whole family. That sounds really difficult.

(Edit because I had missed something.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, BT, how difficult and for them. So hard to see a little one uncomfortable and not be able to help or explain.
