'Serenity'
[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.
sumi, that's rough. I hope it all works out quickly.
Boobie ~ma, meara!
One variant of the money dance has people pinning money to you.
Or the wedding reception I attended where the bride came around to each table collecting envelopes of money from everyone. I was horrified. Where I come from (imagine nasal haughty voice) where *I* come from, even talking about money at a wedding was dreadfully tacky; no one would have dared ASK for it.
A quick piece of news: last night, Biyi gave her tenth speech at Toastmasters. (It was a tribute to her former English tutor; he and his wife also invited Biyi to stay with them when she was in need.) This means that she has now completed the Competent Communicator manual. I'm particularly proud of her because of course English is not her first language.
Biyi gave her tenth speech at Toastmasters.
Yay Biyi!!! I've heard good things about the Toastmasters.
Brava, Biyi!
I feel like I'm always asking for advice here but I trust you guys, so ... (Or is it . . .)
Ellie's basically not eaten since Friday due to the stomach flu. She's def. not getting worse but is hardly getting better. My mom, not a worrier, is worried. I am, a little (or I wouldn't be posting), but I just don't know what else to do. She hydrated, not vomiting, she just doesn't want to eat and says her stomach hurts. Shes also crabby and whiny, not really like her. Could a dr. do something I'm missing? Do I just wait until she wants to eat?
And, because it should not be mixed in with our health issues, that's cool for Biyi. Public speaking in another language scares me. A lot.
I am not a parent, but if she's hydrated, that seems like the major concern. Will she take something with some nutritional value, like chicken broth? Some of those Pedialite/Pediasure drink things?
Dana, I agree. She drank some milk and ate some ham after some cajoling. I think she's plenty hydrated but sort of weak from not eating for 4 days (her face actually looks pointed) but I think it's partly mental. I don't know...maybe it's like pilling a cat-I just need to figure out the right food.
I know I have felt like that after stomach viruses -- knowing I needed to eat, but not actually being interested in food.
Applesauce? Pudding? Popsicle?
Stephanie, I would take her in if her stomach still hurts. It could be something more serious that requires antibiotics.
