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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.

It is, admittedly, not something one thinks about one shenanigans get under way. But you can DAMN betcha I will in the future.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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?"
I wondered that too. Well, not if I should wake up Tim. The first part.
Yowwwwwwch on the whitefont! It's crazy the, in retrospect, things we don't realize. Being the cautionary tale can be a painful learning experience though. I hope you feel better really soon.
