Buffistas

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Closed Threads

[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

Had a seven course Revillion menu on Christmas night at Restaurant August

What's a Revillion menu? (I'm sure the description will make me hungry!)

I finally went to the doctor today because after 2 weeks, the cold is still hanging on, which in and of itself isn't enough to make me call the doctor. However, my chest has been really tight, in an oh-crap-this-feels-like-asthma way (though I haven't actually had wheezing or rales, but I recognize all too well this chest tightness), and I have a dry cough that will not go away.

Doctor gave me an inhaler, an Rx cough suppressant (he said that the OTC ones don't really do much), and antibiotics. I asked if I really needed the antibiotics (with my IBS, I don't want to fuck up my intestinal flora further), he said he's seeing a LOT of Mycobacterium infections that are in the trachea/esophagus/lung area, and they can turn into bronchitis or pneumonia. So I said, Okay, give me the antibiotics!

I do still feel like hell, and I had a low fever at the doctor's office, so I guess I wasn't overreacting by going in to see him.

And then we came back and the dog peed in the dining room. Not while we were gone; after we got back. Not on, Kato! Not on!

I'm going to drug myself and retreat to the bedroom with comics and hopefully get a good long nap, since we're planning to make merry tonight.

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

TCG was just looking at his old blood test results from previous years and confirmed my suspicion that his doctor had never before tested him for thyroid issues. It took three years of TCG telling his doctor he was tired too often to get the test run. The lesson being don't take "that's what happens when you are in your 40s" as a final answer for something.

smonster, can you force yourself to eat something before you lie down. I know it can be hard when you feel awful, but it can help.

Lavender tea:

Teppy, I hope the drugs helps and you're on the mend soon.

The stupid CFC-free inhalers are just not as good as the old CFC-having, ozone-layer-destroying ones. Grumble.

The only thing I have done for the party tomorrow is to soak the black beans (well and clean and bought alcohol). Not good. I need my back and head to give me a small break so that I can deal with this stuff. It would also help if it would stop snowing.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

if I ever get my ass off the couch, I will go find the menu in my luggage and post it, because it was so good!!

I've had Muriel's. It was amazing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We used to sing there at Christmas, and a couple times afterward, they fed us. That was pretty awesome.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My friend's husband was the Sous Chef there. I wonder if it was one of his meals that fed y'all!
