You know what we have to do now? We have to put on cheerleader uniforms and urge Zen and bonny onwards to social service via bloodletting.
Here, you put yours on first...
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

Buffista moms! My BFF from high school is a high risk pregnancy, she has diabetes and some other health issues. She was recently admitted to he hospital after several weeks of bed rest. I'm going to surprise visit this weekend and wanted to bring her something. Anyone who's been through this have any suggestions? I'll probably bring some books, magazines, etc., but is there anything else you'd suggest?

Snicker.
The visual of the cool dudes wearing cheerleader uniforms just might get me through this.

Because books.
Is she there for the duration, Vortex? I'd say something she can do, rather than just read -- does she knit or do crosswords? Maybe one of those geometric design coloring books and some colored pencils? A project she might have at home and have time to work on now, like framing some small photos or even sorting through photos?

That's right. Turn your head when they get the needle and think of omnis and me with pom poms. He's the one with the pigtails.

Vortex, maybe throw together a manicure kit with some polish and stuff? Staying pretty in any way, shape or form is a huge morale booster.

Yep, they are basically waiting for the baby to be in a good place for a c-section.
she used to scrapbook. We've kind of drifted apart, she lives 45 mins away and I kind of don't like her husband. He's not a bad guy, I just think that she settled and he doesn't seem to put any effort into the the relationship. but, I digress.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vortex, books of essays and light novellas and YA novels and other things that can be picked up and set down over and over, or taken in in small gulps. And, if she doesn't already have her own laptop or portable DVD player, check among your friends to see if anyone has a spare they can lend out. I plowed through a ton of Buffy rewatches and various other box sets during bed rest, and it helped enormously (as did the boxes of frivolous paperbacks sent by many kindly Buffistas).

Normally the Red Cross phlebotomists are among the best, because they have so much practice. The worst I've seen have all worked at hospitals.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, I can laugh and pass out at the same time.
