[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.

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

Skipping and skimming (sorry). I just spent 2 days cooking a special meal for my Dad's bday. Several siblings, nieces and nephews "dropped by" for dinner without asking or letting us know. Ate up the food, drank the booze, pastured their kids, didn't help clean up, and left.

Par for the course with our family. I would normally be livid about now but my dad enjoys seeing them all even if they have the manners of Homo habilis, so I'm just exasperated. Spent several more hours cleaning all the dishes and am ready to pass out. Tomorrow will be better.

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

Ugh Spidra that is terribly unfair.

Yay, elopement W&P!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, Spidra, I'm afraid you are nicer than me. I would have been all "Great! You can help the kids set the table, you come into the kitchen and help me serve, and who is volunteering to help clean up, since I cooked all day."

And if there were no takers, I would be all "Oh! Sorry. I didn't realize you weren't staying to eat with us. It's nice of you to stop by, though!"

That is so rude. Hospitality is sacred, but it works on both sides of the fence.

My DH's brother is staying with us for 4 days, because he has some stuff going on and needed a GET AWAY break, which I am perfectly happy with. The first night, I was hospitable and fetchy, but he is a nice guy and has been helping with dishes and taking out trash and such the other days.

Had he not been, I would have no compunctions in announcing "Since I cooked, you guys can clean up. Thanks!"

I am irritated on your behalf.

But I am all ROWWWR! on sj's behalf, and yeah, ignore the friend. She might have thought you were too busy/preoccupied thus week, and would have called her if you needed anything.

I had a friend whose family and acquaintances were blowing up her phone with random shit -- like, where should we go to dinner in this town? stuff -- the night before and the morning of her wedding. I took her phone after, I swear, the tenth weird call of the morning (Is Uncle Larry there yet, where should I turn on I-35) and answered all the phone calls so she could enjoy her wedding day.

I do not GET some people!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't know who's around, but I could use some advice.

I went off antidepressants mostly to see if I still needed them. I hoped some of the weight I'd gained would come off (didn't), and that I would get back to being a slightly more prolific writer (haven't).

Given that my grandfather will probably be dying within a month, I'm thinking maybe I should restart them. Is there any reason I can't just do this? I was on 20mg of Celexa, but I'd probably start at 10, to see if that would work for me.

I know they take time to become effective, and I don't want to wait too late.

Unless you went off them a looooong time ago, I don't see any reason why you couldn't start them again. The reason I say loooong time ago is that metabolisms and hormonal balances change and a drug that was great for you before could not be so great years later. I had that experience with Effexor, for instance.

I agree that ramping up for effectiveness to hit when you most need it is a good idea. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, Dana.

ETA: Thanks for the hugs. I could definitely use them.

Though I'm exhausted, it's back to working on this song. I had delivered my semi-finished product to someone who's a much better synth/software musician than I am. but what he's delivered back, while it improves on my keyboard bass, is kind of a disappointment in other places. So I need to spend more time trying to make this arrangement more complex and pseudo-orchestral. It's not my strong point so I'm kinda surprised he didn't beat me handily.

Nah, it was...let's see, I was mostly totally off them by the time of my aunt's funeral in September. Ha. Ha ha.
