I hope they fix your grandmother's anemia problem, smonster.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

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.
Oh, I knew something slipped past me. Much iron~ma to your grandmother, smonster.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The china is pretty valuable and will got to a grandchild, so no worries.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I managed to do an hour of (very low-energy) yoga today without a single cough! And i dedicated my practice to health~ma for all.
two night of limited empirical testing have confirmed to my satisfaction that vicks vaporub on the feet has zero affect on coughing. It does, however, feel AMAZING. Like, the best foot rub ever. I can totally imagine telling my mom i had a nasty cough just to get a vicks foot rub.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Like I said great in preventing foot fungus.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, WS, it's on my wish list now!
Vicks vaporub on feet, noted.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My mom didn't use Vicks, she used Musterole, so that's what I used on my kids. I think the vital successful ingredient was actually the attention they got while I was putting it on, and the massage. I know all the muscles in their little chests were tight and sore from coughing. I could feel them relax with the warming effect and the soothing of the rubbing. The vapors probably helped open and clear their sinuses, but five minutes of my focused effort on a chest resulted in a cessation of coughing--at least for a while, and easing directly into sleep.
Old Wives Tales have some truth, I guess.
Yay, smonster!
And yay, erin-o, for yoga without coughing.
I suppose I should have a modern bible, and the scolarly one sounds interesting. I keep my KJV solely for the poetry, and memories of Sunday School, GA's, VBS and Christmas pageants past.

Don't bleed out, smonster!
Dawn, we had rainbows in SF today too.
We've got Emmett's godsister, Maggie (aka, "Maggie the Girl" as Matilda calls her) over and working our way through pizza and xmas specials.
We've done the Grinch, and now on Pee Wee's xmas special. Next up, the Glee Christmas show.
