Vortex: The way I look at it- your mother is playing a game called Let's Make Vortex Feel Guilty. If you refuse to let her get to you- you win!
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

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 just stocked up my weekly pill container and I hate that I have to even use that to keep organized. But I've tried going without and I know my life and health is better with each one.
Can't wait to finish the horse-pill antibiotics though. Dang, those are huge.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel the same way about prenatal vitamins.

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.
Laga's got the right of it, Vortex. Would she really be satisfied with how you treat her if you did acquiesce to her every whim the moment she had it? But she is a grown up and does not wear a Crown, she should be able to deal with a universe in which she must do things like not get her way every waking moment.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Yah. Pills suck. And I don't take nearly as many as some people I know. (I particularly hate taking my painkillers, and I know that's because they're socially constructed to equal BAD even when their effect is a very good and useful one.) Like Teppy, though, I care more about the fact that pills make me feel better and able to live a healthier life, than I do that I have to take them.
Hey, Shir? I'm working on the Hebrew thing. I have Rosetta Stone, an awesome program that's teaching me well. But I am so slow. Grr.

I don't want to go to work. I want to wait here for Shane and GC news.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
So I totally empathize with TCG, but look at it from the viewpoint of -- feeling better is so much greater than feeling crappy but drug-free.
I empathize with him too. You've seen the list of what I take on a regular basis. I'm working on concentrating on the positive with him, but he's a stubborn man.
It is hypothyroidism, and they have called in a prescription for the synthetic thyroid.

Hubby and I both have drug cases for morning and for evening. We'll sit on the bed and fill our cases together. Just another homey ritual. Joy.
