[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'd bring you Gatorade if I was close, but in this case the thought doesn't count. You need the actual product.
I'm lucky to know all of you. The board, and especially the Bitches, kept me going even when I thought I couldn't deal anymore. I almost didn't post this here because it felt a bit like spamming, but there are enough of us that don't use Facebook who are no less deserving of thanks.
Oh, Maria.
You know, I am so glad I know you. You're a remarkable human.
TCG just called and he has to attend a meeting tonight that doesn't even start until 7:30. So he's going to get me Gatorade, but I'll be luck to get it before 10.
OMG. So, there's a process whereby an important document people in studies have to sign (to consent) is reviewed internally and externally. First there's a template, then the external people fiddle with it (some more than others), then internally it's reviewed and changes approved, then they have to get it approved externally. Then there's a review to make sure the externally approved version matches the internally approved one.
That last part (the "make sure these match" review) is supposed to be done by people in my job. They weren't doing it, for a long time, and so there was a huge backlog. I finally got around to doing one that was externally approved a month ago (which has been on my to-do list, and so on), and discovered there WERE changes between the two...including the externally approved version mistakenly took off the PLACE FOR ANYONE TO SIGN IT. Oy vey.
Edie Shoma Mobarak to all and sundry, especially SuziQ and Maria and Strix!
sj, I hope it's not too hard to wait on that gatorade, and that you get to feeling better soon.
Speaking of feeling better, bonny? You out there? Still getting better?
meara, oy vey indeed.

Well, that's always fun.
Thanks for posting that, Maria.
It's pretty easy to love you a lot, Maria.
You guys are the best. And Trudy, I totally spaced out on thanking my concert gals. You all made me feel at home within seconds, and I have had the best time, every time we get together. Live music is another huge part of what got me through this.
Thank you, especially to you on that one. That was a fortuitous tweet last June.
Oh Maria, both times I read that it made me teary. You are such an amazing woman.
