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.

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

Mal is a champ for getting through that much travel. I'm glad the Winchesters are finally reunited.

Ugh, erin. I hope you feel better soon. Unhappy tummies stink.

Cass, I also feel like I don't connect with my niecephews, but being far away definitely is a factor. I can imagine it feeling uncomfortable to realize you like one more than the other.

I had moved to Portland just before my sister found out she was pregnant with the twins. So I've never been close to them.

It's odd because I was always the favorite aunt with my Niecelet and then Nephlet. But I've been just a random family member to these kids so having a preference didn't feel so bad.

Still, now that I am here, I am trying to make an actual connection. And trying to love somewhat equally.

Then again, I am also trying to reconnect with my siblings. And it's working much of the time. We're not going to be traditionally close probably but we can have moments.

Nightguard is still really uncomfy when I first put it on. But the painful tightness seems to ease as I am wearing it so I am trying, trying, trying to wear it a couple of hours per day. Once I can get more used to it, I can try to wear it before bed and eventually sleep with it.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Not Nora, but in Cajun/Creole cooking, the trinity is celery, onion and bell pepper. In most other forms of cooking it's celery, carrots and onion.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I am walking away from the WedMD sites, because according to them the only reason for nausea/vomitting with no accompanying diarrhea or other symptomps might be an ulcer. Clearly they don't know long-term vegetarians. I'm gonna assume someone stealth dosed me with chicken stock and assume I'll be fine tomorrow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I cannot believe you get dark circles with dairy or chicken. Wow. That's like something out of CSI.

I think what you need to do is drink plenty of fluids and get some vegetable broth. If you have no intestinal problems you need to get this crap out of your stomach soon. Drinking clear fluids that don't aggravate the problem would be good.

Ginger ale and veggie broth.

le n, yeah, it's a mild allergy/intolerance i've had all my life, and one of the many reasons going veg was so easy for me (chicken has always been off the table for me, even when I ate turkey and pork.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

so all we have left to use up is cauliflower, broccoli, turnips, and sweet potatoes. Any suggestions?

Steam the brocolli and cauliflower and drown it in a buttery cheese sauce. Or a butter mustard sauce.

Turnips and sweet potatoes can be cut up into cubes and roasted. You can do it with olive oil and thyme or whatever you like to do on your root beggies.
