See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

[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.

Somewhere there is a good doctor who will believe you have a real problem and help you to sort it out. Keep asking and pushing for an answer.

That's the thing - the doc that said "if that's all you are eating, you should be losing weight" then walked away, was one of the good ones. Or at least, I had made the mistake of thinking she was. I've got broken trust and an unwillingness to spend hundreds of dollars seeing doctors that I have no reason to think will be on my side.

Our wings are not tired.

I know hundreds of doctors because of my work and the caring dedicated ones far outnumber the closed minded variety. Do doctors still let you interview them? When I was looking for my ob/gyn and pediatrician we visited a couple different doctors just to interview them. It was no charge, just a meeting in their office to feel them out on their views.

I would call a number of those on your insurance plan and tell the office you are looking for a new physician and could you have an appointment to meet the doctor. It should be no charge. Granted it was a number of years ago that I did this, but it seemed routine to the offices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday, Laura!!!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Laura!!! I am jealous of your inside pants. I wish I were still in mine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy birthday, Laura!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Happy Birthday, Laura!

The birds are lovely, thanks for linking them.

I wish I had helpful words, WS, but all I can offer is compassion for your frustration. I am blessed in my doctor (lesbian GP FTW) and know it.

Smonster, I take it you got evidence that he really did take kitty to the vet? And I am glad you sound so happy.

I was skeptical b/c it takes a lot for someone to go to an emergency vet on a Sunday, but the story rang true once he told me the details. Whitefonted for squick: worms. Ewwww...

I still feel like a future me programmed him and sent him back in time for my companionship and enjoyment.

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

Happy birthday, Laura!
