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.

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

I can't think I wouldn't have noticed a call for death. Seriously.

Always Anti-fascist!

Warts, yes, itches they can't scratch, probably. Not sure about the death thing either, but maybe it didn't bother me that much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

FWIW, I haven't noticed anything like that either, though I'm sure I would take it as outraged hyperbole and maybe it wouldn't register. But I can see that it bothers people.

We're still okay with the 1/16 gypsy curses, though, right?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

meara, step away from the cray-cray. It ain't worth it, no matter how good the sex.

FWIW, I still believe that in this specific case (of my roomie and me) there was some constructive interference of neuroses, or a multiplier effect if you prefer. So I know everyone was pretty careful not to make their comments about the general concept specific to me, but not to worry - I'm still convinced I played my part.

do you just want validation here or can you hear some advice.

Feel free to always ask me this question and I will tell you. My sis and I use this all the time. I will try and tell you what I'm looking for, as well.

I have thoughts on the larger pattern, but can't articulate them at the moment and I'm due on Skype with my parents in five.

Teppy, if you're still around can I ask you one more paranoid cipro question. I just took my first cipro, and it says not to take with anything with calcium in it. So, when can I take my calcium supplement, if I can at all? 2 hours later?

Actually, I have a Tep question, too (or anyone who has had experience with this) -- a friend of mine is cutting glutens and grains out of her diet to deal with some health issues, and she's been having some lightheadness and feeling a little weird.

Is this something that is common? I know, anecdata, and she has a nutritionist and a neurologist, but I'm just FBing with her about it, and thought someone might have some info that doesn't need to wait for her next appointment.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Happy Birthday, Nora!

No lightheadedness from going gluten-free here. No clue why she's getting lightheaded unless she's not eating enough of other things.

She's wondering that, if she needs to eat, say, more nuts and fruit more often.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

a friend of mine is cutting glutens and grains out of her diet to deal with some health issues, and she's been having some lightheadness and feeling a little weird.

I have a couple friends who had similar reactions upon removing grains/gluten from their diet. My BFF refuses to stop eating bread ever again, because she felt so bad when she did it.

I wouldn't call it an addiction, but I read some study (I have no cites at hand, sorry, but it's probably Google-able) that in some people grain produces an opium-like effect, and stopping it results in symptoms of withdrawal.

Ah, thanks, Zen! She was really worrying about it.
