AIMS!!! O. M. G. !!!!
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.
I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!?
It might be totally ridiculous to be this excited about it but I totally am!!
OMG!!!! AIMS That's AWESOME!!
What is not awesome is how disgusting my new medication is. It's complicated, you can't have wet hands, you have to open the pack carefully, you cannot eat or drink anything for 10 minutes. You cannot swallow it. I think I might have swallowed it.
It is the most disgusting thing ever and I think this is suppopsed to be Black Cherry flavor. And if it is it's black cherry from hell. the pdoc suggested a listirine strip but I think I could take 5 of those and there would not be enough to kill the taste.
And my tongue is numb. 8:17 can't come soon enough.
Blergh. That sounds nast. Sorry you have to deal with nasty gross meds, babe.
I think this is the first time i'm going to be fighting hard to take medicine.
But The Blogess emailed you that's so awesome.
Ugh, I hate medicine like that.
I'm almost at the point that if it doesn't come in a patch, I don't want any part of it.
Hil, I'm sorry you feel uncomfortable. I guess with all the mice business, you're probably not inclined to make a deal of this. Are you lighting a menorah (just curious)?
Yeah. Also, they've put the Christmas stuff up the other years I've lived here, and I've just felt uncomfortable and dealt with it. I am lighting a menorah.
Okay, so an ankh isn't really extant in anything other than co opted (NPI) Christianity, so I'm trying to think of something else--the Hindu "Om" symbol? Yin yang sign? Lotus flower?
Ankhs and yin yang symbols were usually more in jewelry and clothing than home decorations, and when I was in high school, different Jewish parents had different views on those. As far as I can recall, the general opinion was no on ankhs, yes on yin yang. Probably because an ankh kind of looks like a cross, and "But it's not Christian! It's Egyptian!" didn't make it much better.
The tongue numbness is common and should wear off pretty soon. And often you dot get it if you've been takin it a while. The no eating or drinking thing is just because its supposed to dissolve under your tongue and be absorbed through the skin under your tongue, not be swallowed or mostly taken away by saliva. Obviously you're going to have that happen some, but that's not how it is effective, so they just want it to not be washe away by drinking things. Apparently the unflavored one tastes like battery acid, FYI.
