[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.
IUD Saga, part 836:
It was shipped and I have a tracking number. It is scheduled to get to the OB/GYN tomorrow. The OB/GYN's office closes at 3, so I am going to be obsessively refreshing the tracking until I know it's there. (Right now it's in Columbus, OH, so I am assuming it will make it, but at this point, I just don't want to assume any damn thing any more.)
In the event that anyone still needs one, I just got some Dreamwidth invite codes.
I got my new bike and just went for a ride around the block. Fun! However, do bikes now not have kickstands? I had to lean it against the wall when I got home. Also, I can't go more than about two blocks in any direction without hitting some ridiculously steep hills. I think I'm going to get a bike rack for my car so that I can drive to a park with a bike path.
I have seen new bikes wih kickstands but it's weird that they're not standard anymore.
Well, bike manufacturers are trying to make bikes as light as possible. Taking off a kickstand is an easy way to remove a lot of excess weight. I'm pretty sure that's the reasoning.
I asked on facebook where to get a car rack. A guy I went to high school with, who currently lives in Utah and lists his occupation as "professional ski bum," responded with links within minutes. I guess ski bums become mountain bikers in the summer.
Vermont passes single-payer health care. Not soon enough for askye, unfortunately.
I saw that and one reason I love this state. It's going to take a while to enact anyway, they have to get a waiver from the Feds and the soonest that can happen is 2014 or 2017, depending. So right now it's just going to be a lot of studies and things to put it into motion.
And of course there are the people who think this is going to lead to financial ruin for the state but it's nice to live in a state where health care is considered a right by the majority and not one that's trying to sell off the state to the highest bidder.
Oooh, those are pretty! And I like the idea of a "travel spray," too.
