Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Some pics of the new(er) washer dryer for me.

First, the original:

The new(er) set:

with a new curtain (close match to color of apartment) to hide w/d and water heater:

The pair are just over 1 year old. It has a "wash the washer" cycle, so I did that. Also cleaned out the soap dish. Lint screen was surprisingly gunky. Not sure what that's about. But, cleaned it all out too.

Not quite new, but about 10-15 years newer than what was in there. More water & energy effient. And half price of buying new. Not bad!

My first load in it is in the dryer right now. Woot!

Friday, I have "Closet World" coming by. Seeing if they have a better option than the Ikea Pax option, which doesn't quite fit inside the closet.

Trying to make progress, despite the construction crap at a standstill.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, smonster. And I'm sorry that annoying people are being annoying. And omnis, I can't even imagine your frustration with the neverending construction on your new place.

The status is NOT quo.

Since I killed the thread already, I might as well Sally forth boldly with a personal medical question. All summer I've been getting horrible bug bites that welt up itch like mad, and take forever to heal. The most recent bites have a bruise all around them, and the only pressure they've felt is some furtive scratching. So big, allergic reactions to bug bites, extremely slow healing (weeks and weeks), and a tendency to bruise easily. I take a multivitamin...? They tested my thyroid a month ago and it was fine. Any other ideas about why my body is being so broken lately?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've never been given a medical reason for it. I have been given prescription-strength steroidal ointment. Which is great.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Have you been able to id what you're having that allergic reaction to? That might be a tipp-off to why the nasty reaction, especially if it there's any anemia involved.

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

Pix, does your multivitamin have Vitamin K in it?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think there are strange insects this year. This has happened to me and you are the 6th person I know who has started having this reaction this year.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think there are strange insects this year. This has happened to me and you are the 6th person I know who has started having this reaction this year.

Whatever bugs bit me at the beach -- and I had a TON of bites on my arms and legs -- the bites didn't totally go away for 3 weeks. That's not normal.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Count me in the gang of the bitten. K-Bug too. But not CJ. Which really confuses me. If something in the house is biting, why only the girls. Or if it isn't a bug, why not CJ?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Pix, I've started being allergic to bug bites recently, no rhyme or reason (it's particularly bad with the bastard mosquitos in Israel, but tiny UK gnats bother me a lot too now). Can you take antihistamines? They really help me.

smonster, I would play Words With Friends with you, but I'm really bad and it frustrates me! Do you happen to play Hanging With Friends? That's a timewaster I can get on board with (and often do).

My god, the work, the work. I've been attempting to write a thesis chapter since June. I don't expect to emerge properly until about the end of October. It's been a fun chapter to read for, though!

Edited for spelling. Always good to be reminded you can't spell while you're writing a thesis chapter.
