Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

who say they died and exercise

Yeah, that's the way I feel about it.

Now I have to leave the typo.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Being often on the fat end of things (I am right now), and having medical professionals scattered throughout my family, I have to say that even the otherwise nice and sane medical professionals often have weird and stupid issues around weight if they themselves have a body set point in the normal range. It's depressing, but so many of them take the lose-weight-be-healthy-you-can-do-it as a matter of faith or something.

My mother, a medical professional, is constantly worried about my Dad's weight ruining his health. Other than his blood pressure (under control with medication, and actually controlled better than hers), his numbers are fine. Losing weight or gaining it hasn't changed them. Just like me losing those 40lbs I regained didn't fix my blood pressure, and regaining them didn't hork anything else.

And yes, his knees are bad. And that's one thing where weight loss may help. BUT, he blew one out 50 years ago playing football, so it's not like his weight caused his knee issues.

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

Heeeeeeeelp. I have no food in the house and no desire to get dressed and go outside to get food. And yet, still hungry.

(Okay, technically I do have food in the house, but nothing I could put together into a complete-ish meal. Like, I have PB&J but no bread.)

Jess, pancakes? French toast? Order in pizza?

Pizza would still require me to get cash first, which brings me back to the issue of pants.

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

There isn't a pizza place near you that takes credit cards? Domino's or something?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or a "no-pants" pizza place?

There's Papa John's, but for a 4th-floor walk up, I don't like to tip on a card.

Coding and Sleeping

Papa John's will let you pay with a card when you order on-line.

Dylan would be happy to let you raid his piggy bank for pizza tip!
