You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

Hil, I hope your asthma attack wasn't too bad. Are you affected by the cold?

It wasn't too bad. Used my inhaler and got better almost immediately. The cold affects me, but my biggest trigger is going back and forth between the cold outside and the heated inside -- going in either direction tends to trigger attacks. Probably doesn't help that the couch where I was napping is right beneath a really drafty window -- I love living in a Victorian house, but I really need to find something to block these drafts.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hope you get some help for the tonsils soon, WS.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Anything that would prop up my shantytown of an immune system? Like...supplements/vitamins/whatever? I am just so goddamn tired of feeling this shitty.

I like echinacea. You can buy it in health food stores. It's a herbal thing. Does seem to help.

I have a lot of pollen/plant life allergies, so echinacea and I don't always see eye to eye, unfortunately.

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.

I hope you get some help for the tonsils soon, WS.

Thanks.

Don't want to do plastic? You could maybe find a window quilt, or insulated curtains.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I wonder if I can successfully argue that with no fever present, the strep test is unnecessary. Then again, if I win that argument, will I lose by not getting the antibiotic that I think I need for the tonsils.

I don't get much of a fever with strep anymore, unless I let it go. Luckily (?) , I know what it feels like so get the test ans if I want it -- it always coms back positive

I always get tested for strep but I have never had it.

My body hates me and never lets me sleep the night before I babysit.

I've got a "how do I phrase this?" question: My contract at this university is just for one year, but I would like to work here for at least one additional year, if they'll hire me. How do I ask this?

Aims, how bad a hit is the D on your GPA? Is it the only one? A transcript of As and Bs with only one D isn't anything to sneeze at. It's like the beauty mark on Marilyn Monroe's face, something to emphasize the quality of everything else.
