Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oxyclean also helps when rerunning a load of laundry left in the washer too long.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

 *waves arms* Hey, amyth! I just went to the website, and it looks like the Farm Tour is an afternoon thing (1-5), so I'd love to go. Would you mind driving, though? I'll be on my feet for hours soliciting voter registrations and being yelled at by old Republican guys who think I'm trying to sign up illegal aliens.

Well, Burrell, it is a steroid...so, sure, it could. I suspect it's a symptom that probably goes away as you get used to taking it, though.

Trust my rage

I use white vinegar when the cloth diapers get stinky. I usually use about a cup although I don't think more would hurt. I think they would just smell like vinegar maybe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, Burrell, it is a steroid...so, sure, it could.

Ha, really? I thought that, but then I thought, come on, you're being racist against steroids.

I was going to say that the non-steroid component (the salmeterol) might be making you a bit speedy. It's similar to albuterol, which tends to make me jittery.

Do inhaled steroids cause speed freakiness? I've had it with oral steroids, definitely, but not inhaled. But albuterol always makes me jittery. I don't actually know *why* a beta2 adrenergic agonist makes me jittery, but it does.

In contrast to freaky controlling Christians: A Quiverfull dad becomes a woman. Happily ever after, too.

Oh, duh. Yes, I'm not entirely awake--albuterol totally makes me jittery, so yes, that's more likely. I figured inhaled steroid was possible, if not completely common. I mean, on the "different folks/strokes" (wherein sudafed makes me weird and jittery, and benadryl does nothing to put me to sleep)

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I am so far behind I know I'm going to miss a few people:

Congratulations, Andi and Daniel! Class act all around.

Welcome to the world, Rose! It's a name with many connotations (all good in my mind) and I am sure you will embody them all. While you rule us, along with all the other Buffista sprog.

Congrats on the new home, sj! I understand your frustration with an older house. Having to have stuff upgraded is a pain in the kiester.

Yay for smooth healing, Laura! I hope you're back to kayaking soon. I don't know if your old one was recaptured, but I'm sure you'll be out on the water again, regardless.

Maria, I hope the autopsy results provide some closure. It won't mitigate the pain, but it's one less thing to wonder about.

Liese, I hope your students start showing more mature judgment soon so you can catch a break! They don't know how good they have it, with someone like you to provide guidance for them.

Lots of hugs and hairpats to everyone I missed in there. Keep on keeping on!
