You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

They've just added another layer of complexity to getting an Adderal prescription.

Seriously? What now?

It's getting so complicated that the people with ADHD won't be able to focus long enough to actually get their medication.

That's always been Tim's rueful joke -- they make it way too hard for people who can't focus to get the medication they need in order to focus.

I'm so weary of drug policies that are the equivalent of treating every shopper like a shoplifter.

Every patient could be a drug dealer! Think of the children! Because SOCIALISM AND OBAMA.

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

Somebody sent me a live cypress tree for Xmas. Is this thing poisonous to cats? I doubt he would have thought about that.

List of plants poisonous to cats.

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

Okay, it doesn't appear on any list of Toxic to Cats that I can find, but I'm still a little nervous about it. I don't want this thing badly enough to risk my cats' health. I don't want it at all, really. It's got little ornaments and lights... maybe I'll Freecycle it. Hope he doesn't want a photo.

I'm just baffled that he sent this to me. He's known me for 16 years and surely knows I've never put up a tree. Not that I don't like them, I do, but we always go to my sister's (big) house for the holidays and she has a tree, and I don't want to deal with the mess. I already had to vacuum, just from taking it out of the box. Damn. "Don't give people live presents," isn't that the rule?

Make it an outdoor tree, much easier to care for.

So pretty much any plant you can think of, minus kale or coffee beans?

This says it's a European Cypress. It smells good. But I'm starting to get allergy symptoms. I think the Universe is telling me to get the tree out of the house.

I'd plant it, but the directions say plant it in the Spring. Jeepers. I may plant it anyway, and let it take its chances.

Your mom's or your sister's?

My mother using a computer would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse. It was my sister's computer, which apparently hadn't been talking to the ATT e-mail server since May. Then we had a drama when she wouldn't give me her password so I could set up her account again.

It will probably live in your climate, Zenkitty, although you might want to cover it if there's a 20-degree forecast in the next month.

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

OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I'm not coughing as much, but I seem to have caught a stomach bug. I had to pull over at a gas station on my way home from campus because I had to throw up. I bought a big bag of pretzels while I was there, because I'm pretty sure that the quinoa and kale stew that I was planning to have for dinner would not be the best choice.
