Daniel, I'll be keeping you and Andi in my thoughts. Thanks for checking in. I've been worried about you two all day.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Bev - I don't think it's morbid. My grandmother kept the answering machine message in my grandfather's voice until she died. Sometimes, she would call me and say, "Call the house and I'll pretend I'm not here." so we could both hear his voice again.
I find myself wishing that I had recordings of her voice.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I wish I had the tapes of Gram reading to us when we were little.
When our friend B's dad died unexpectedly last year, we pulled a voicemail from his dad off the machine for him.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Sometimes -- this is embarrassing to admit -- when Tim leaves me a voicemail, especially one in which he says "I love you," I save it. Just in case.
Yeah, I know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When Wallybee and I started dating, she wrote down every text message I sent her, and kept doing so over the next year or so. (Came in handy when we set about proving to immigration that the relationship was genuine.) I lost her messages to me when I changed mobiles, but my favourite was one she sent me when I was off to run a D&D game: "HAVE FUN AT YOUR GAME. I LOVE YOU. KILL THEM ALL."

I remember you telling me about that when you visited! And I thought, yes, she's a keeper.

It was a positive sign, for sure.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
During my office day today, I was scurrying back and forth between two buildings ten yards apart and with a short flight of stairs. At one point, HR lady said, "You sure are getting your exercise today." I think she forgot who she was talking to. Let's see, compare that with yesterday, where even walking meant a pound or two of clay on each boot, let alone the actual work? Yeah, NSM.
But I can't get too cranky, because she was super helpful today answering a lot of my questions and reviewing my disciplinary writeup and stuff.

I've read about rifamixin as a treatment for IBS. It makes sense to me; probiotics are always recommended in IBS to build up the good flora, which implies that the bad bacteria outnumber (or overpower, or whatever) the good flora. Which then implies that maybe the probiotics aren't enough the bad bacteria might need to be taken out with an antibiotic.
I hate the overuse of antibiotics, but I noticed that the article said that rifamixin doesn't lead to drug-resistant bacteria, which is interesting.
