Ugh sorry about the cold turkey, askye but so glad you've got a diagnosis.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Okay Askye Update - They found out what's wrong with me!! Massive, massive infection in my bladder and kidney. No kidney damage, which is good, but evidentally my whole urinary tract (at least on one side) is infected. So they did an antibacterial wash of, well, everything. I have a EIGHTEEN day supply of antibiotics (Levaquin or however it's spelled).
Ugh. I'm so sorry to have been right about that, Askye. My SB causes me to have often kidney and ut infections, and it sucks. Feel better.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Glad to hear they can fix you, askye.

Our wings are not tired.
An answer is a good thing, askye! Yay for having relief in sight.

Herding cats for fun
Bladder infections are NO fun. Glad we have antibiotics for fighting-the-ick-fu.
Married in a library? Sigh. Now that's what I call a righteously Buffistaesque venue.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, yay, that's it's nothing bigger. Still NOT FUN AT ALL (I've had one kidney infection and it was terribly painful, and I have pretty high pain threshold.)
Cold-turkey caffiene-free sounds pretty traumatic. My utter sympathy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
askye, I am so glad they figured it out!!
eat a limited amount of dairy (not sure why the dairy)
High amounts of calcium cause kidney stones. Usually more than you could eat through dairy, but with your issues, you're probably more susceptable.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, what a relief, askye! Kidney/bladder infections suck mightily, but I'm so glad you have a diagnosis now.
Seekrit message to javachik: I just put another invitation in the mail for you. Let's see if the USPS loses this one, too!
Btw, if anyone requested an invitation and didn't get one, please let me know. It seems that at least a couple went walkabout.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh yay for good news, askye. Sorry about the dietary proscriptions, but it's a relatively small price to pay. I've actually found if you do without something long enough, when you finally get to have it again, it's not nearly as wonderful as you remember. So, giving up a little diet room for a healthier you is not really much hardship.
Erin, getting married in the library is inspired. And that's a gorgeous library! I can't wait to see the eventual dress--the conception sounds beautiful.
Kate, gold and red will suit you fabulously. And be wonderfully happy and portentous.
P-C, I'm glad things seem to be settling down. But yes, remain strong. You have to be the grown up here. Sucks, I know.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
askye, that's the best bad news I've heard all day.
