smonster,
could you be getting stress rashes? I blame your roommate.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

[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.

Kind of there, too, Anne. I hope it passes quickly for you. It's no fun.

I just took a shower and I seem to have itty bitty bruises all over my torso and chest.
I expect that in your sleep you were beating your breast in remorse over kitchen-lingering.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you all. That helps, honestly it does. Part of the issue is that the work stress is only going to keep building through the first part of October before it levels off. Even if I can't get out of town, I'm going to take some time off to recuperate.
Epic, I am so sorry for not saying so earlier, but much ~ma for Domino, and I hope the vet gets a thorough cluesticking.
This summer has been unkinder than you generally think of summer as being for brains and bodies.
Very much this. I'm almost looking forward to snow, and seeing everything blanketed over in white like a fresh start.

I'm so grateful it's only going to be 71° out tomorrow, I can actually wear jeans! I am more than ready for fall, this summer has been miserable with weather and personal misfortune that I am more than ready to see an end to.

Could your roommate be sticking pins into a doll, smonster?
Much ~ma for Domino. That vet sounds like a doctor who thinks anorexia is a good thing. I've had a Maine coon cat and they're mostly muscle.
I had a completely wasted day split between waiting at the vet and futilely doing unpaid tech support for a friend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Epic, so much ~ma to you and Domino, with a hearty side of HULK SMASH for that vet. As others have said... NO. A cat's weight fluctuating for no apparent reason by a double-digit percentage of its body weight ought to be a huge red flag to any half-competent vet.

Ginger made me laugh!
BTW, if you find out this is the case, you need to kick her out. I don't want her going all SWF on your ass.

In the annual search for the Platonic Ideal of Skulls Available in Legal Retail Settings, Hubby found me a gorgeous, heavy glass skull candle holder. The cup for the candle is dyed fuschia, which gives a wonderful gory glow to the whole thing when there's a candle in it. And it's cast so that the candle flame is focused in the depths of the eye sockets, flickering evilly.
Truly, this is the most wonderful time of the year.

I had sushi for dinner, with Tom and my new roomie! Yay, good times. So far she seems very cool. I will cross my fingers there are no secret "linger in the kitchen" issues. :) She and Tom and I are all now in the living room on the internet on our various Mac products. I'm amused.
