[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Gloom, this is so awful. I'm so sorry.

The country would help you, see, but if we legislate any regulations for health insurance companies we'll become a nation of secret muslim communist nazi deathpanels.

Sorry you are getting all this crap GC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The US meaning of "broil" is the same as the UK meaning of "grill," right?

Yes.

GC, this is all so awful. This isn't something an ombudsman with your hospital can help with, is it? Or a case worker at your insurance company?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just made the best thrown-together improvised meal ever! Kinda based on shahi paneer. Sauteed some chopped onions, added garlic and ginger, then garam masala, coriander, a little chili pepper, and a little turmeric. Then most of a can of chickpeas, most of a can of tomato sauce, and a little can of coconut milk. Cooked that for a while, then added a little box of raisins and a handful of cashews, and then some cilantro. Yum. Eating it with basmati rice.

I tried with the insurance company and they won't assign a case worker as it is not a "disease-related" issue. The hospital idea is a new one. I'll check that out, thanks. I am also waiting for word from an OB I called today to see if she can take me on. I feel like I'm probably stuck with my current OB as many of the other OBs I've called wouldn't take me this close to my delivery date. And she and her office are just tainted to me now. The thought of staying there fills me with rage and sadness that I can't just enjoy the end of my pregnancy and birth. I just hate that office now.

GC, this sucks so much. And you're right, this is supposed to be a happy and joyful time. What you're experiencing is quite the opposite. I hope Aimee's OB can take you.

Huh. I guess that explains why we call the grilled cheese I'm making right now grilled cheese.

Still not sure why my family calls them toasted cheese sandwiches. And yet, whether grilled or toasted, tasty.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I call them toasted cheese sandwiches if I make them in the toaster oven (or if they are toasted bread with non-melty cheese) and grilled cheese if I make them in a frying pan. Need different names because I will crave each at different times.
