Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been coughing for close to two months now. I got my doctor to give me a referral to a pulmonary doctor, because this is getting ridiculous. I'm getting slightly better, in that, a few weeks ago, I couldn't sing along to the radio at all, and now I'm measuring how well I'm doing by how many lines of a song I can get through before I start coughing. (My record so far is three.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Another five weeks of IV antibiotics for my grandmother, which means five more weeks of the hospital. She's going to have a cow once she's coherent enough to understand it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil, good grief. That is scary stuff. I hope the pulmonary specialist can figure things out and fix you up.

Dana, that bites.

Good lord, I'm tired.

Ugh.

I'm hoping the pulmonary doctor can get me so that I'm not coughing so much by New Years, because I'm supposed to be presenting at a conference the first week of January, and I've been able to teach mostly by pausing to cough after each sentence, and I guess my students have gotten used to it, but people who haven't been around me much who hear me coughing tend to think that there's something horribly wrong with me, and I really don't want that to be the reaction to my talk at the conference.

That sounds so miserable, Hil.

Hil, there is something going around that has at least a month lifespan. Lord knows I got it, and my neighbor who does choir is still without her singing voice. Word around the office is that it is hitting a lot of folk to varying degrees, but it lasts at least 5 weeks at minimum.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

askye, I am so sorry. That happened to my mom and dad's dog, Pepper, and she'd been seeing a vet, but...It's awful.

ND, Pix, I am really sympathetic to the family drama. It's a no good resolution, and how awful to deal with.

Much love to all.

Pertussis, maybe? Though possibly you had to get an updated vaccine to teach, Hil, didn't Cass get it and cough forever?

Sending vibes to Hil and Dana, and to Pix and Drew.
