A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[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.

There isn't much I hate worse than that woozy feeling.

It wasn't the dizzy as much as the cold sweats. Dizzy I can chalk up to "stuffy head, inner ear being weird" or something like that.

But the cold sweats? Shit, man, as soon as those started -- in conjunction with the dizziness -- I knew I wasn't going to remain vertical. I hate it when my body disobeys my brain!

THIS is what I am saying! Ick to infinity.

Yeesh, Steph.

Erin, I'd say the original estimate was a slam dunk, but this still sounds very much in the good idea category. In addition to your utility costs, I'd guess this would be a big factor if you decide to sell down the road.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Eesh, Steph. Not a nutritionist, but there's not much protein in what you described, and especially if you work out you need protein. But it sounds like you realize that.

quester, was it a slice or a puncture wound? If the former, you're probably okay to skip the booster. Tetanus tends to happen in deep puncture wounds that don't bleed much.

I know. t /shame I just hadn't been to the gym in over 6 weeks thanks to the 18th-century lung disease, and I really got out of the habit of fueling up properly. Plus, I think I thought that a slow walk (seriously, it was about a 22- to 24-minute mile, and I only walked a half-mile) wouldn't require all that much from me.

Clearly I my brain was addled, no doubt from the lack of protein....

You know what's full of protein? Brains.

You know who never passes out at the gym? Zombies.

Draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, but they fall off the treadmill a lot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And occasionally they get their intestines caught up in the exercise bike.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

And trying to clean up after them when they're done with the weight machines?

A literal nightmare.

Plus overzealous (non-zombie) gym rats are always shooting them in the head, and that's just loud and annoying when I'm trying to watch cable TV.
