'Objects In Space'


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.

Ice and NSAIDS, Vortex! Don't walk through shinsplint pain, you can get hairline fractures in your tibia! Also, if you don't let them heal they come right back (I know, they've been bugging me since the beginning of the year)

Grr! I'm trying to keep my momentum. Although I originally started using the elliptical to avoid shin splints.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Stationary bike for a while? Recumbent bike would (play hob with my back, YBackMV) be even less weight on the shins. Would a mini-tramp work help keep your momentum? Because it does a lot to lessen impact.

Anne, you might consider decamping. On top of construction noise and upset, the dust might be a dealbreaker.

smonster, holy crap!!!! Blood poisoning! I hope everything turns out all right. Please keep us posted!

Thanks, Nora, for taking smonster to the ER.

migraine ~ma to Teppy, and all kinds of ~ma to Strix, and I hope you get some rest, Pix, and hugs all around.

That's a gorgeous teapot, Beverly!

Basically, what everyone else said.

Hey, remember the 'friend' who told me that I betrayed her, she could never forgive me and didn't ever want to speak to me again?

She called this evening to say that she never said any of that. She reiterated pretty much everything she said originally and gave me the opportunity to apologize. In fact, she is surprised that I have not said I was sorry, but that it's not like we can't be friends.

I quashed the very strong impulse to ask her if she was still in middle school and simply said that I could not apologize for doing a kindness for someone who had been kind to me.

The most startling part of the whole exchange was realizing that she could not _hear_ herself being incredibly selfish as she was chastising me for not taking her feelings into account around something that had nothing to do with her.

Eh. Now I just want to trade keys and get my stuff out of her attic.

Insent, Strix.

Wicked fans, is the last book Out of Oz better than A Lion Among Men? I liked ALAM, but am wondering if I want to slog through OoO. The audiobook is 29 hours!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

it's not like we can't be friends

Sounds like it is.

Get your stuff out of her attic and end any other entanglements she may have in your life, is my strong suggestion. I've had "friends" like that before. Sometimes they decide to "punish" you for your infidelity by not giving you your stuff back. YCrazyPersonMV, of course.

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

Hey guys! I am just popping in real quick to say (1) I have my sweetheart back home safe (huge relief) and (2) if you have emailed me (and yes, bonny, i r me!), THANK YOU and I will be returning the emails tomorrow.

I need some time with my sweetie, but I did not want you wonderful people to think I was ignoring you. I am just wiped.

Til tomorrow!

yay strix! I don't know what all has been going on, but sounds like relief is a good thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Strix, I hope having your honey home gives you the strength to get everything on steadier ground. Love to you both!
