I dunno if she is, but I am.
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 am, but I probably should have added the "if I could afford a plane ticket" clause. Sigh.
Plus, I'm trying to talk ND into adopting a new pup from one of the local German Shepherd rescues, in which case I would be PUPPY training. (Trying not to get my hopes up, but...)
OK, we went to the absinthe mixology class! Read about it here.
As of 11:15, my skin is all still attached.
I know you were all on pins and needles wondering about it.
(I am still itchy, however. But I'm pounding down Benadryl and, like I said, skin still attached, so -- woot.)
how fun! I'd never heard of gum syrup before.
edit: I meant absinthe mixology is fun. Itchiness is No Fun At All.
yeah, it's an old school sweetener which is much more difficult to find or make than simple syrup. There was discussion of its viscosity as well as sweetening properties.
Neat!
(Tho' I will admit, the idea of mixing absinthe with gin kinda makes me twitch. Someday, I may find a gin I like. Just don't count on it.)

Hey, if gum syrup helped the itchy, I'd take it. Or bathe in it, or whatever.
Maybe I need to sit in a bathtub of oatmeal. (You know how taking a tepid bath and putting, like, 1 cup of oats in it is supposed to be soothing to itchy skin? [It is.] I *always* envision a bathtub FULL of cooked oatmeal. I'm actually a little sad that isn't actually the recommended treatment.)
That's what I envision too, Teppy. And then I envision having to CLEAN it.

Heh, they play together quite nicely- but I don't have any issues with gin. My personal favorite absinthe cocktail, the Monkey Gland, is also a gin based drink.
