[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.

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

At the farmers market today, the bakery stand was giving away vegan brownies for free, because it was so hot out that the frosting had melted all over the wrapper and they looked like a mess and probably wouldn't sell. I happened to walk by the stand right when they started asking everybody, "Want a vegan brownie? Free?" Yum.

OK, I revise my "yum" from my previous post to "Holy shit this is the best brownie ever I want MORE."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's a good brownie.

Actually, just ate about half of it, and now I'm in a chocolate coma. Super rich. I wrapped up the other half for later.

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

Any of you Mamas have tips for stuff I can do out of the house with a sometimes fussy infant? We stroll around the neighborhood, at the local park, and at the mall. I'm hoping for other ideas...

I'm not a mama but I know about Monday Morning Mommy Movies.

Trust my rage

I used to shop at kid consignment stores when I was feeling bored. Super cheap and a chance to get out. I also used to walk a lot. I suspect Shane is still too youg for a jogging stroller but I did a lot of that too.

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.

Harvey is lying, not precisely on my lap, but in the crevice between my tummy and the desk, purring away. He has one paw up on my right arm, and his head resting on that paw. Very cute and snuggly. He needs your purr-vibes now, please. The results of last night's ordeal by being locked in the bathroom until he produced pee are in - urinary pH is up to 8 (it was 7 before) and the struvite crystals are now greatly increased. Vet strongly advises switching him back to the Iams Veterinary Low pH food over using supplement pills of dl methionine, as that is looking at a life-time commitment of (possibly several) pill(s) a day, and the symptoms he shows of food allergies are not that bad compared to the risk of developing a blockage should med compliance become difficult. So. I have bought a few cans. We will try it. And it is possible that he might not have a problem with this food, because it hass a different species of fish in it than the one that gave him such itchy ears.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Poor Harvey. I hope the new food works out for him.
