'Unleashed'
[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.
Ouch, Teppy. Feel better.
I have had much alcohol and watched Fringe with friends so I am declaring today a win! Tomorrow I am getting my hair done and attending vw's wedding!
Smonster, it sounds like you have a good boss who appreciates you, which makes me happy.
ND, give him hell!
if one is prone to yeast infections, a lube with glycerin is like gasoline on a fire
It's sugar. Feeds yeast.
Which SUCKS.
Teppy,
So, I am not sure if this is related to your issue, but the yeast infection treatments that are 1-time instead of the standard 7-day, burned me like a motherfucker the one and only time I did it.
I could not believe how much discomfort I experienced. Now, I only use 3-day at the very least. Those 1-day things are like a pox on my house.
Fire in the hole in the Not-Leonard sense, huh? Yikes.
Ha! Reminds me of the story of the young Natalie Wood, James Dean and Dennis Hopper (while working on Rebel) renting a fancy hotel suite for a tryst and those crazy young kids filled the bathtub with champagne. And she got in and it really burned her vagina! She hopped right out yelping and it killed all the romance that night.
Some things are not as sexy as they seem in real life.
I’m glad, because I think this melanoma vaccine has promise.I really hope so. And I'm very glad they were cautious and made sure that Rob's death wasn't related to the vax, but even more so that they're going on with it now.
a cardiologist who specializes in congenital heart defects. This is really important when he reaches adulthood, because that’s when you think the risk has diminished.
I have a friend who does something closely related to this -- or rather, he's not a cardio, but an internist who specializes in the medical (not surgical) side of treating people born with various congenital issues as they grow past their initial round of repairs and into adulthood. Just tonight, he was talking about how new it is to really treat post-congenital-defect stuff as its own specialty, because (a) it's gotten to be a much more common & expected thing for their patients to live that long and (b) as they do so, they've gotten to understand the lifelong issues so much better.
So, for sj's nephew, there will be docs who are trained to really know his issues, and not just as an exception. But the hell if I can remember the name of the specialty, or if it even has one yet. Also, my friend might even be out of residency by the time the wee one is grown!

Yeah, my friend Chris has outlived all his prognoses from his congenital heart disease. He's in uncharted water and gets written up in journals, and his cardiologist has been treating him for free for years because it's an important case.

Because a lot of what we've learned is amazing and people can have issues treated that would have ended their life very young and instead they are getting much longer lives. It's pretty amazing and a good thing that we have a way to give people this time to live their life.
Maria, I’m glad you have a little closure but very sorry about the continued grief. I wish I could give you a big hug.
Sorry you’re hurting, Tep. Quick relief to you!
He's one of those celebrities I always want to think well of and then see him in an interview and realize I can't.
VK can BITE ME. I won’t tell stories because it isn’t my place to do so, but my secondhand experience suggests that he is the total stereotype of the self-centered, entitled Hollywood former star. I can’t believe the way he’s treated the people who work for him. Briefly, before they run away, screaming.
VW, HAPPY WEDDING TOMORROW! So happy for you!

I've noticed that, too. (Of course, I totally spaced tonight. We were at Walgreen's to buy lube without glycerin in it [priorities, dontchaknow], and I managed to not buy anything for the stupid yeast infection. Well done. Well done indeed.)
