[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 can smell the difference in diet Coke! I don't drink soda often, and the only drink to which I add sugar --never sweetener of any kind -- is some types of hot tea, with cream, very occasionally.
Thanks, Laura and sj! The surgery should be a walk in the park, and recovery should be quick and easy. And sj you are a darling! Since soup and tea doesn't fit through the intertubes, listening to my whiny ass is the gift that keeps on giving!

I have heard it was a baby smooth whiny ass. Hear to listen anytime.
My latest adventures in dieting allows for no caffeine, no fake sweeteners, no alcohol. So it is fizzy water or herbal tea all the time. It took a couple weeks to get over my 2 large pots of coffee a day habit, but I like water so it is ok.
Okay, I am having big complicated feels about changing my name (or keeping it) after I get hitched. This is fucking HARD for me. Really, really, really, really, REALLY hard.
You could change both your last names to Batman.
I know this is probably something you have thought of already, Steph, but would both of you changing to hyphenating your name-his name work?
Our dog's name is Kato, which quickly got bastardized to Kato Potato, and also Mr. Potatohead. So I suggested we both take "Kato" as a last name, and decided that sounded weird, but maybe "Potato" or "Potatohead" would work.
(Which turned into a running joke last night when we were playing games with some friends and I kept telling Tim "Bring honor to our house! House Potato forever!")
You could change both your last names to Batman.
That would sure solve a lot of problems.
Or you could both be Robins, but different Robins.
Tim could change his last name to Drake, and you could be a Todd, or a Brown or a Kelley.
What's Tim's last name, btw?
If it's "Cakes" then you could just be Teppy Cakes.
I'm also hoping that it might be "O'Rooney."
Because then you could be Teparooni.
The name thing wasn't as optional when I got married. I had no problem changing my last name, Neil flows more easily to my ear than my maiden name of Rush, but I got into a weird argument with my mother over my middle name. She was of the belief that my maiden name would become my middle name, but my birth middle name has been in my family for generations and I'm quite fond of it. Of course, her birth middle name was the last name of her grandmother, so maybe trading last names around made more sense to her.
Fraught things, names.
