If you can take a few moments to let yourself cry, Calli, you should.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

[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.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
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.)

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Steph and Ginger. And I'm all for comfort tv. I'm tivoing all the Macgyver episodes the box can find for me, for comfort purposes.
And thanks, y'all. I sat in the bathroom for a while to let my face do what it would, and I feel a bit better. Good enough for flying, anyway, if the weather cooperates.
