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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For all those slavering over corsets, I posted on their wall about the issue of not getting one free until four were in the cart and they said that shouldn't be happening and they'd get right on it.

Thanks for doing that -- I've been dithering over getting the pink one (especially since now my discretionary $ is likely going to be aimed at acupuncture), and since it's 2 for 3, waiting to see if The Boy wants to go in on it with me.

As best as I can tell, the worst that happened was that my chimney cap has vanished. No trees down in my general vicinity, but lots of signal lights are out or missing.

Tornado sirens woke me up around 5 a.m. (first, they were woven through the dream I had been having; whatever the dream scenario was prior to the siren, all of a sudden in the dream everyone was gathering up stuff and heading to the basement), and as soon as my brain woke up enough to realize it was indeed the tornado siren, honestly, the first thing I thought was, "Is this the same storm that Anne got?" Hand to god, that's what I thought, even before "Should I wake Tim up and get to the basement?"

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Teppy, when I read the first part of your paragraph, I immediately wondered if it was the same storm.

Trust my rage

Just hearing about being woken up by tornado sirens gives me chills. I am singled I live on a mountain.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This is amazing. Makes me wonder who sits in a room thinking, 'let's take a staff-of-life food and turn it into rubbish for a buck! (or n x 10 bucks)

Punishingly Intricate

I'm interested specifically in migraines, but any experience is fine -- and did it work/what did you think of it?

I didn't go for anything specific, I just wanted to try it out and it was very relaxing. I'm dubious about claims that it would "cure" anything (I have a dubious personality!) but I think it could help alleviate symptoms especially pain-related ones. I have actually been thinking a lot about going back and seeing if it could help with my ongoing ankle pain situation.

But it's heeeaaallllthyyyyyy! (I am not remotely surprised at the sugar content, however.)

Burrell, I'm sending out the ~ma for your MiL.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Burrell, so much ~ma for you, your MIL and family.

Andi, good on you. We could never be disappointed.

I'm slightly freaking out right now. I just got poked on Facebook by the boy (now man) who gave me my first kiss. It is totally bringing back that summer in Italy. We did the long-distance thing for a year, then it just faded away and he wasn't there the next time I was in Italy. I never asked about him and I had no idea where he ended up. He's in Montreal. Holy shit.

Okay, here's something I should have learned before the age of 39, and a perfect example of how things that are really obvious NEVER occur to me:

I learned at my OB/GYN this morning (TMI for teh sex [not kink]) that if your boyfriend has a cold sore, it's maybe NOT THE BEST IDEA for him to go down on you. Oh, yeah.

I have never in my life gotten a cold sore, and I still haven't. (At least, not on my mouth, god damn it).

Wow, is it a Monday. (I might also have a UTI and other badness, but those cultures will take a few days to come back. Woo.)

LEARN FROM MY STUPIDITY.
