Oh, Ginger, that sucks. I wish I could give you spoons.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

[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.
Ugh, Ginger.
I was so optimistic when she said she found more spoons. I am still happy about the silicone but I was really hoping for a stash of metaphorical spoons to be honest.

I have a slightly sore throat, but the main symptoms are the joint aches and a pretty high fever. It doesn't help that I've been reading about pandemic influenza.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope it is an over with quickly variety of bug, Ginger. Sending virtual chicken soup.

Caught up in time to go home, one quick post...
::waves wildly 20 or 25 miles southwards at meara:: (assuming you're either Downtown or Mission Valley) Hope you have lots of dance-y fun! I didn't even realize there was a swing convention this weekend, but I'm primarily Lindy, not West Coast (also have been hermitty for the last however-many months), so guess I missed a memo. Too bad, that would have been awesome to randomly run into a Buffista. Anyway, have fun while you're here!
bonny, I think you are being super-sensible and your reasoning is very logical and healthy. And I too like to hear about your peace march stories!
What she said.
Strix, how's today going? Baby steps, baby steps (repeat as required). Sounds like things are traveling in a positive direction!
Bummed I can't see Bobby's prom pic. I'll have to wait for home to be able to access FB. (And like the others will probably superimpose the duct tape pic with huge grin over the dapper young man).
WS, hope those extra work days go easy and you enjoy your well-deserved vacay.
Ginger, feel better soon. Do you need us to Doblerize you about stepping away from WebMD?
And now to rush home and change to rush out again. A dance group I've been meaning to check out is hosting a going-away party for a guy I know from another organization - who's going away to the Peace Corps for a coupla years. I didn't even realize he was part of the dancers, so bummer to find out his last time, but at least he's finally providing me with the impetus I've been needing to come out and join them.
Anyway, lovely weekends to all! Mwah!

What a grown up! Though I miss the duct tape.
Sighh... I'd lie if I said I didn't have faint hopes of a duct tape cummerbund.

Now I have a rash. Fortunately, my symptoms only coincide with weird tropical diseases I know I don't have. I believe I'll go to bed.

Yeah, it wouldn't be right to get the weird tropical disease without first having enjoyed the tropics.

So, I have been informed that I am on the short list of candidates for a senior audio technician job at a dolphin show at the Georgia aquarium in Atlanta, if it opens up in the next six months to a year. This has thrown me for a bit of a loop. I really don't want to leave LA, for lots of reasons, but I don't think I could turn the job down. They were talking 50k plus full benies, plus a moving allowance.
But I really don't want to leave LA.
But that's a good job.
