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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Barb, you totally have enough interviews about your new book that you are getting bored and annoyed with them! That is so awesome!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hey, um. I have committed facebook. Some people are already trying to friend me and I don't know who they are so I am ignoring. Please let me know if one of them is you. I'm Laga Ratica.

Laga, now that I know you are there, I'll friend you. I have a picture of Harvey and Sammie snuggled together as my user pic.

It was the Scrabble that finally sucked me in.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hows the neph doing, billytea?

He's doing well, he's walking again, quite confidently. There are potential complications with him flying because he has a shunt in his head, but everything went smoothly. It's the first time my sister's kids have been on a plane, her older boy (six years) loved it. I think Ryan's enjoying having other people around too (after getting over his initial wariness).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm glad he's doing so well. Hope Ryan continues to have fun with his cousins!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm glad they were able to fix your mom's car, Ginger. I bet that's a load off your mind.

That's great that you're getting that much press, Barb. I empathize with the difficulty of promo, though. I have had to be brutal with myself to get me to do it (although it may not seem that way to observers). Hard to be assertive and positive. Try to look at yourself the way you'd look at a friend - you probably wouldn't have any trouble pimping a friend's work.

smonster, I agree with Windsparrow. Moving, stress, new job...you've got plenty of reason to take it easy. Eventually the work-life balance will come. But in the meantime, don't drive yourself to a nervous breakdown by not giving your body the recovery time it's asking for.

Raised bed *finally* got finished today. Only got a couple things transplanted before dusk hit, though. The peas have been in six-packs so long they've started to bloom and form little peapods. Hope they don't die from transplant shock.

Besides being brutally tiring, this day was pretty cool. People were in decent moods. And the video I posted last night has garnered some nice comments and was blogged on a ukulele blog. So I'm pretty chuffed.

I hope everyone's having as good a weekend as they can.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Low pain sensitivity has its disadvantages. Took a spill of the steps the other morning. Found a really severe cut/scrape only that evening after it was infected, red and inflamed. Doused in antibiotic ointment and finally under control, but I'm pretty sure if I'd noticed it and clean and antibioticed it right away it would never have got infected. Today, three days later I put pressure on a spot on my wrist, leaning on a table and screamed like a 3 year old. Does not hurt otherwise, have to put pressure on just right, but it really hurts a lot to put pressure on it. Can see a little swelling when I peer at it really closely. Does not even hurt much to wiggle it with my thumb. Like there is a small bone on both wrists right where the wrist joins with the hand, straight down from the pinky. Only that bone is bigger on one hand from another.
