I kinda want to cry now.
[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.
If you can take a few moments to let yourself cry, Calli, you should.

Calli, if you need to cry, and can take some time alone to do it, then you should.
Unrelatedly, I disremember: does anyone here have IBS/Crohn's? I am having the worst IBS flare in about 2 years. I've taken all the drugs that I can, and I'm thinking about stabbing myself in the belly with a ballpoint pen. Grah.
So, my question is: any suggestions for what else I can do? When I get home I'm going to snuggle up with a heating pad and very old 90210 episodes on the laptop (DON'T JUDGE ME), but beyond that I don't know.
I have IBS, Steph, and earlier today I was thinking about stabbing my intestines with a straw. I was also wondering whether I'm a significant contributor to global warming. I keep thinking about keeping some kind of food/symptom journal, but there's never been anything obvious except that it's at least three-quarters stress. Fizzy things help. Mint helps a little. I'd love anyone else's solutions.

Never! I have as many seasons of that as I can find online, saved on various drives, for emergencies. Good comfort TV. My sister has Crohn's, but I don't know that she's ever found much that helps, alas. Hope you feel better soon.
Mine was more or less under control until a week or so after Tim's mom died. Then my innards decided that they were going to run the show. I know it's all stress-related, and while I'm working on chilling out, I wish there were some direct whammy I could put on my guts to calm the fuck down.

My preference is the college years. Thank god for the public library and its massive stash of TV shows on DVD. (We're also catching up on the Big Bang Theory that way.)
probiotics...of course you probably do that.

It's the high school years that I watched at the time, which makes for great nostalgia trips.
