Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

'Dirty Girls'


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.

wow, you've been a whirlwind of activity this morning.

I have; I hate sitting still. Pretty soon, I'll probably go clean Emeline's room, even though she should totally do it herself. Maybe instead I'll run to Michael's to get the stuff to make her chore chart and our family info center. She also starts swim lessons tonight.

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.

[link] Huh. According to that link, the collective noun for cats is a nuisance of cats.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Beware of Atkins. My dad's heart surgeon said, "atkins built my beach house."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, I've been on it for a month and am stopping after this coming motorcycle trip, to go to healthy foods/calorie control. It was good for getting me off my All Sugar All The Time eating style.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't read the original book myself, but my understanding is that patients who interpret "low-carb" to mean "bacon cheeseburger hold the bun for every meal, woot!" are operating under a very liberal interpretation of the text.

I've heard it's generally safe to lose about two pounds a week, but a pound a week is safer. My dad lost weight way too fast. But he's doing better now, and it wasn't just the diet but decades of poor eating habits.

I have read the book. I consider myself better-than-average at being able to take nutrition/diet instructions and turn them into food. Yet it was not until I had read a few other low-carb type diet books that I really *got* what Atkins had intended for his readers to actually be eating. I'm not entirely certain if people reading Atkins' Diet Revolution have so many expectations and prejudices that the actual nuts and bolts of it do not actually click, or if his ability to communicate his ideas effectively was not as strong as he might have thought.

Yeah, new Atkins is very big on protein + lots of vegetables. I think it's a lot healthier than it used to be. Still-after 6 weeks, I miss carbs a lot--esp. fruit and starchy vegetables.

I was coming in to say, that I am having the sweetest snuggle with Harvey. He's in the cat sling I made for him, purring so gently. I'm sending some of that love on to those who need it.
