Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, Maria, so much love and strength to you -- it's a summer of just too much suck for you. You're in my thoughts, love.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Maria, all my love and good thoughts and health-ma are coming to you and DH.

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

Thanks, Kate and Amy (eta: and Steph). I just really want him to be OK.

{{{{{Maria}}}}} I'm so sorry. Tons of health~ma headed to your DH and tons of coping~ma headed your way.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Maria, you can always have all the ~ma you need, and you never need to apologize for asking. It's an infinite resource and one we are happy to give, just as we are happy to see your pixels any time. ~ma to you and your DH and your whole family.

I didn't mark my own posts here, but I have several "canned answers" saved. I use them in various pet care forums, as so many times similar questions crop up. I can email stuff to you.

Well, I started doing my own research last night and everything I'm seeing says go raw + supplements as much as possible.

Is there a specific issue in mind?

My parents have eight cats, many of whom barf on a daily basis, one has diabetes, and one has been diagnosed with IBD.

do you just want to hunt for the best possible nutrition within the limits of your budget?

This is what I want to do. My cats are okay, and I'm currently giving them half "good" kibble and half "good" canned food, but they are getting old (~11 and ~13) and I'd rather spend more on food than vet visits.

My daughter is totally random. Our most recent exchange:

"Mommy? Do you think that I think you're fat? Cause I don't. Think you're fat."

"Er, thanks, kiddo."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

All,

Ginger recommended that I pop my head in here. Here's my post in Natter. If you all have tips, etc. I would appreciate them here or profile addy works as well.

Folks,

on Tuesday I was diagnosed with diabetes. This was not a huge surprise for me on Tuesday because my vision had been getting fucked up for a week.

I am, however, concerned/scared(?) with this diagnosis and I'm going to work my ass off to see if I can get off oral meds after a few weeks/months.

Are there buffistas/os here who have diabetes and can provide advice, tips, links, etc.?

Aw, you people. Thank you. sj, Jilli, Aims, and smonster are 4 more reasons why I love this place.

DH wants to keep it quiet, but I told him I needed to be able to talk to someone other than him. I don't want to take out my anger or frustration or fear on him, because he's already in a bad headspace and thinking about worst case scenarios. Right now I'm trying to be Polly Positive to keep him from falling down the rabbit hole. All of you--and my sister--will keep me from doing the same.
