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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And, if you are calculatedly reckless with the pharms like Tep and I, you can also take oral Benedryl.

Benadryl is practically not a drug! It's like a vitamin!

[NOT REALLY. I just sort of maybe a lot treat it pretty cavalierly. IT IS A DRUG. DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE A VITAMIN. ITS FEELINGS WILL BE HURT.]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Benadryl is practically not a drug!

Precisely.

I knocked back an additional Benadryl on top of what I usually take in a day and the swelling is going down.

Without benadryl and ibuprofen, I'd be a whimpering, sneezing lump.

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

My grandmother had one thing right: put iodine on bug bites. Disinfects, stop the itch, keeps from forming a scar.

Weekend!

Definitely no energy for synagogue tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

I stopped at the health food store on my way home, but I got there 20 minutes after it closed. The people were still there, though, and the owner told me that if I knew what I wanted, I could come in and buy it. I had two things I knew I needed to buy, and I'd planned on browsing and getting some other stuff, but I just went in and got the two things, and thanked her for letting me come in after it was closed.

I know that I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to cleaning a house. When I was growing up, we had housecleaners who came once a week or once every other week, and they were usually there when I was at school, so I really didn't know the actual details of what they did. My old apartment pretty much reflected that -- I hired people to clean when I moved out, and they charged extra because it was so dirty. I know to clean up food stuff, but dust and dirt just accumulate, and I don't really know what to do about it. So, like the good geek I am, I looked on amazon and bought a book about "The Art & Science of Keeping House." It's a huge book with tiny print that seems to tell how to take care of everything. I just read the section on vacuuming. She says that the best thing is to vacuum every day, but if that's not possible, then at least vacuum the whole house once a week, and on in-between days, vacuum one or two rooms, so that each room will get done two or three times a week. Do people actually do this?

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

Do people actually do this?

Hells no.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Do people actually do this?

Maybe if they're taking a lot of speed?

In a good month, I vacuum every other weekend. With my allergies, I really should be dusting at least once a week too, but I hate dusting with a white hot burning passion, so instead I just sneeze a lot.

I find my hardwood floors need swiffering and cleaning pretty frequently- I basically do it when it seems too dirty for me to be comfortable. Here, it's fairly frequently. I just sort of do it in spurts when the mood hits me. Not in any organized fashion.
