Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I didn't have headaches, that I recall, when I was having periods, just the OMG crushing depression/psychotic rage/outrageous pain.

My long national nightmare ended when, basically, I found a no BS older female GYN who had also had horrible periods and an early hyst -- she didn't rely on just scientific studies and anecdotal experience; she's lived it, and was the first GYN to just say "Would you like painkiller? I think you need some serous painkillers for 4 days out of the month, and I'm sticking a dildocam up your vag ASAP."

She had me on painkilllers ASAP, found the fibroids from hell, counseled me through an oophrectomy then a hysterectomy and she was the first GYN, male or female, who didn't make me feel like an old-fashioned female with a case of the vapors.

If possible, Zen, I'd find a female GYN who's HAD period-related migraines. I mean, we lose sight of the fact that doctors work for us, and we can interview them.

2 cents, really quick.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And when he crossdresses, I wouldn't call him "feminine," necessarily, which is an odd thing to say.

Does he wear makeup, etc?

He does not, partly because it already takes him about 45 minutes to get dressed (most of that time is deciding what to wear, actually, but it still counts as "getting dressed" when he says "I'm going to go get dressed" and he's still picking out clothes 30 minutes later [which does indeed drive me batshit]). So he figures putting on makeup would add at least another 45 minutes. And mostly, for him, it's all about the clothes (and shoes, oh god, the shoes) anyway.

So I imagine half of that shit under jeans and a button-down, and I'm delighted as all get out.

Heh. Tim wears slinky panties under jeans more often than not, when he's not at work. In the winter, if he knows he'll be wearing a sweater or thick sweatshirt, he'll wear a cami or bra, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I'm talking about (firmly avoids ogling Steph's man). That I don't consider crossdressing, just wearing women-typical clothes. And if they're made for men, it's a whole different feeling from actually shopping in the women's section (both feelings have their...attractions).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Steph's dude is cute, tru fax man. (I feel OK saying that because she thinks my dude is cute too. It's like we have some underlying agreement on what makes a man attractive.)

So I am having a kitty concern: Last night as we were going to bed we noticed that Folly was having some kind of issue. There was a bit of watery, bloody discharge after she used her catbox. eep! So we put her in the bathroom with food and a box so we could keep an eye on her (otherwise she hides). She seems fine this morning, or at least not in distress, and I can see she peed. But I plan on calling the vet today. We are going out of town and I am worried about her.

Thanks Laga, I just called the vet and they want me to bring her in. I hope she's OK.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In re the headache/migraine - could it be related to blood loss? I'm just asking because a co-worker complained about a really bad headache due to heavy bleeding, so I thought maybe.

Our wings are not tired.

Kitty~ma for Taz and Folly and any other kitty friends that need it.

Woo! I ogle a wide variety of types. It is a habit not likely to change any time soon.

I have a cold. This never happens. I don't like it much.

And Barb, you're fully entitled to go medieval on that travel agency - screwing up the reservations is bad enough, but then blaming it on you ... way beyond unreasonable.

Just be glad they didn't successfully book the first leg of the trip and not the second, leaving the kids stranded someplace away from any family. At least you could take them home (which in no way excuses the agent, but be grateful it wasn't worse).
