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.
I didn't have a pediatrician as a child, I had an ears, nose and throat man. This guy: [link] Kinda surprised he's still in practice, but I know that my mom once said his wife had begged his nurses not to let him retire. In case any of you ever get so desperate for a good ENT that you are willing to go to the Greater Cleveland Area for one.
Hil, I'm terribly tempted to send you some chair cushions for you to pointedly give to your female relatives. Of course, given what you have said about family politics, the gesture is likely to go over like a lead balloon.
omnis, I'll keep the road trip in mind. It's a long shot, but I bet it would be fun.
If packing goes well, I'm hoping to have a couple extra days for the drive across. Maybe a slight detour to Cadilac Ranch in Armarillo, TX. How fun would belly dancing around those puppies be?

Maybe a trip to Roswell? A rimshot to Grand Canyon (no time for trip down and back up). Maybe slight detour north to Vegas for a night or two? I dunno. I guess it depends how hot it is at that time of year, driving in the south west desert.

Oh, I've done way worse than that. There have been a few times I've switched all the pronouns in the Haggadah so that G-d gets female pronouns. Pretty much whatever I do gets an "Aww, look at the cute little feminist" reaction. So it's mostly just for my own amusement.
When we're setting the table and serving and stuff, I've mostly started responding to every, "Hillary, come help in the kitchen," by telling my cousin, "Come on, Dave, they need our help." My mom knows exactly what I'm doing and rolls her eyes at me, but Dave will get up and help.
I think Australian laws must be different than those in the US, because I don't remember billytea mentioning that he had to register Ryan as a lethal weapon.
WHEN BABIES ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE BABIES!!

You, ma'am, is good.
at Passover, we're supposed to sit on cushions because we're free now and not slaves.
I never heard of this tradition!
Women sit on uncushioned chairs and serve the meal.
But I've heard of this.
And I'm deeply worried that "human rights" mostly don't include in them "woman's rights".
Oh, Beth, I'm so sorry for you and Matt. Much love to you and Andycat's loss.
Shir, this has been so hard for you. You are a good doggie mom and are doing the best you can. Hugs.
{{smonster}} I'm glad you're doing what's best for you.
Ryan continues to kill ded with teh cute.
Hil, I presume I think you need not just one orange, but lots of oranges on the Seder plate. I think on the Seder plate the oranges should outnumber the rest of the food. And beat up it up. OK, going back to work now.

Aw crud. (Goes off to hug Harvey and Sammie)
{{{beth & matt}}} {{{{shir}}} (even if he is feeling better, still stressful and agonizing.)
I finally gave in and got a referral for PT for the foot i broke more than 3 months ago. Wish i had asked for it a month ago.
ION, i finally saw _Stardust_ Sat night and now have the can can music on endless loop through my head, enhanced with visions of robert deniro in drag fluttering his eyelashes through a pink feathered fan.
Happy 90th US Voting Anniversary, Female Bitches!!
