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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The Mirena is awesomesauce. I haven't had a period in over 5 years.

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

Zenkitty,

I had laproscopic surgery to remove my fibroid. It was okay. But at the time, I just had the one and it was causing me a whole lot of distress. To be on vicodin AND ibuprofen every month along with the other complications was no fucking fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, all. I like the no-more-periods thing about the Mirena.

not your mom's socks.

I have achieved Executive Office level of the game Banker Tino.

There was a fun moment where BankerTino's supervisor (he of the "this is very complex and hard to understand document language") said "ok, I'm going to give you the phone number of the executive office..." and I said "You're not going to hand me off to them?" and he said "oh, ok, I can do that."

The exec office CS person was kind, listened, took down my info and said she was going to see if they could generate a letter expunging the situation, or if I needed to write one first and they would then respond. I will hear from them in 48 hours.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sox, your bank is insane. I previously thought all banks were insane, but yours is extra-special-super NUTS.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Nora, I hope your friend recovers as fully as possible.

Sox, I hope the banking stuff gets cleared up quickly.

Sorry about the work problems, smonster.

I just did a trial run on packing for my trip later this week. It looks like I'll be able to get everything in my carry-on and pocketbook. I'll still check the carry-on, but I won't have to schlep my big suitcase around airports, through train stations, and up staircases.

Trust my rage

So...I haven't mentioned this divorce or baby on FB. Because it's too huge and I don't really want to deal with having to give lots of details and lots of "oh, I'm so sorry" and so on. But, if I plan to continue to use FB, which I'd like to, I have to mention it eventually. I want to wait on the baby but mention the divorce now. But it seems easy to get it all out there are once.

Ideas, wise hivemind? Maybe I should just not care? (I was waiting until after my SILs wedding but I still haven't gotten around to mentioning it, I've noticed.)

Compassionately intolerant

I agree. The disclosure process is about what is comfortable for you.

People will have their reactions, because that is what people do, but you don't need to take care of anyone else's feelings but your own.

I hope you get all the support you can manage.
