I really am glad to hear the update, Ginger. I think of you often.

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.

Thanks for the update, Ginger. I know it can't be easy to do and I appreciate it a lot.

Ginger, thanks for the update. Continued ~ma! Glad your red blood cells are back and playing nice.
IOmeN- went to the interview for the dinner for 6 folks. OK, so. It's nothing like a speed date service. Or Match/OKcupid. It's more of a matchmaker service. They have several different tiers of service. All *WAY* over priced. But after an hour long interview, rather than a 12 month membership for a months salary, she asked what was I thinking it would cost. I said, I figured it was a bit more involved than speed dating, and figured there would be some labor involved to find 6 like minded matches, so, a couple hundred?? She appreciated that I took into account that it would involve legwork, and time, and not value it at $50 or so. She offered a price for a 3 month "trial membership" at a greatly reduced price, that I can not say the price. Yup, NDA on the price. Took me for a surprise. She explained, they have unlisted pricings for folks they don't anticipate being high maitenance. And don't want the reduced price disclosed to potential clients that want a "5'4" Australian that lives within 5 miles of my house" type of picky, that would require a lot more legwork. I will say, the price wasn't unreasonable. 3 months, 2 dinners, which means introductions with 6 women. So, I signed up for it. After saying yes, she said my timing is good. End of year = New Years Resolutions, and big uptick in clients. Getting in 2 weeks before that round of new clients, means as she is screening new female clients, I will be on her mind. As for all the new guys signing up, she says the volume is a bit high, so it's more about processing them at first, and takes a little longer to get them in the system, or some such. Eh. We shall see. I really hope it's not a scam. And hopefully, at least get a nibble. Maybe more.

Ginger I'm glad your blood work is doing well. I've been thinking about you a lot.
I also hope your counselor can come up with a medication that will help but won't interfere with the medication.
So, the Saphris is still yucky but is either getting less yucky or I'm just getting used to it.

Ginger, thank you so much for the update. You're often in my thoughts. Yay, for red blood cells; boo on the drug interactions and nasty side effects.
omnis, good luck with the matchmaker service. I really hope you find someone wonderful.
The builder is here, making lots of noise. I may have to flee soon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ginger, I'm so very glad you checked in. I'm happy to see an update from a sneezing you any day!

Glad for the good news, Ginger. Giving the universe the stink-eye for the rest.
omnis, it's been a while, but I had a friend in San Diego who did very well with a matchmaking service. I think you'll get your money's worth.
Quiet~ma for you, sj.

I fled afterI picking up someone low VOC primer for the trim. He already used regular primer on the bookcase that he's putting in, but hopefully since it has been a couple of since he primed it, and the fact that we are painting it with low VOC paint will keep it from being an asthma problem.
