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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, but if you've been drinking milk all your adult life it's unlikely to develop out of the blue. You'd know if you had it. The effects are...pretty immediately unpleasant.

Oh. Good.

I've posted in Natter than my tummy is more sensitive these days, requiring me to give up coffee and tea.

Hopefully that will be temporary.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Emeline med update: We are not doing the XR anymore. Following the yuk side effects from earlier, she also flipped like a mammal when she started to come down off the dose.

FWIW, I didn't have the other side effects Emeline had when I first went on Adderall XR, but I did have major anxiety attacks when it was wearing off for the first week, and then they went away.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I wonder if this didn't come from a misunderstanding of a picture of Jell-o with whipping cream dolloped on top?

Midwesterners of her era thought of Jello as multipurpose. Jello could be a "salad" with mayonnaise or salad dressing or a "dessert" with whipped cream. The latter would evolve into Jello with Coolwhip on it, one of the more appalling faux food creations ever.

My grandmother would pour a little whole milk over jello if she didn't have whipped cream.

When I was little, on the rare (thankfully) occasion that my mom was sick, my dad made us cherry Jello with walnuts and canned peaches in it. *shudder* Neither my brother or I liked it, but we'd eat a little to make my dad happy 'cause he thought he was making us a cool treat.

Are you planning to fly between cities or take trains? Feel free to tell me to stuff it if you're not looking for advice; I'm just enjoying remembering my travels there and excited that you get to go!

I think we'll decide based on our travel agent friend's recommendations. I don't mind advice! I would love to hear about your experience!

All right! Girl bitten by shark last week EXACTLY where we're going to be for vacation in 5 days.

ANXIETY WHAT ANXIETY?!?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Shark expert Andy Dehart say there has been 35 reported shark attacks off the North Carolina coast since 1935.

Don't worry, Teppy, that was the last one. 35 since '35! That's what the sharks say.

Don't worry, Teppy, that was the last one.

I'm trying to think about it in terms of statistics -- like, if there's a plane crash right before I fly, odds are excellent that my plane won't crash -- and yet all I can think of is clustering.

Plus there's a shark out there with a thing for feet. He's like Jaws Whedon.
