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.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
very old 90210 episodes on the laptop (DON'T JUDGE ME)
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've been known to indulge in 90210 on occasion myself.

Calli, I'm sorry you had a milestone whack you in the heart. Sometimes there are unpleasant things that nevertheless keep you in autopilot, and when they go away, you have to think.
