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

Yay for dancing. Boo for GILF and her crew. I will never like them.

In other Seasonal Aisle news: the chocolate mousse Peeps were disappointing.

Chocolate mousse peeps?? How does that work? Are they marshmallowey covered in chocolate? Marshmallow-y with chocolate in the middle? Chocolate flavored marshmallow peeps? Just...chocolate peeps with a lack of actual peep-osity?? EXPLAIN!!!

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.

I'm sorry to hear of all the lay-offs. It sure can be very worrying.

All is well that ends in pizza.

A review of Chocolate Mousse Peeps: [link]

However, these are awesome broiled. The center becomes frothy and runny and the sugar dust becomes a crunchy shell. I put them in the toaster over for 3 minutes. Be sure to have them on foil or parchment or else they run all over the place. You also might need a spoon to eat them. Microwaving also gets the same soupy center, but the outside doesn’t get crispy (so it’s the confectionery equivalent of trying to make pizza in a microwave ... it’s edible but it’s not the same).

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

Is it possible to have the flu without running a fever? I'm exhausted, and all my joints ache.

Our wings are not tired.

My son and I went through that recently, Anne. We were wiped out by the slightest effort and everything hurt. There was coughing and headaches in the mix too. No fever. We didn't do anything for it except be lazy and drink a lot until it passed. His was a day, mine 3. Resilience of youth.

It means you are working to hard! Take a rest.

Thanks, Laura. That's helpful to know.

Also, yes, I have been working too hard of late. Maybe not long, long hours (although those have come into the mix), but working such a large number of time-sensitive projects that I go through each day feeling like I'm juggling five live hand grenades and a rabid weasel.

I wound up going home sick yesterday after I fell asleep at my desk.

I'm bored. TCG is at work related conference, which is just evil to have on a Saturday imho. I swear I used to know how to entertain myself on a Saturday afternoon.

Mostly lurking...

Come talk to me on IM! I pinged you, and you're not there!

(((Anne))) You are definitely working too hard; take Laura's wise advice and rest.
