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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm glad it's an easy fix, Steph.

I am considering oatmeal, but it seems very far away.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Xposting the fuller explanation back from Natter:

Thanks! Have downloaded Lose It and started using it. I've lose about ten pounds in the last month and about twenty since moving here seven months ago. Now, in the last month I've done some physical work, and I haven't eaten out hardly at all, and I've been off birth control. But... it's a little worrisome. I eat peanut butter and cheese every day, but not a whole lot of processed sugar, and I drink only water outside of a cup of coffee or so. I hope I'm just being paranoid. The doc is testing me for thyroid stuff (T4, T3, and TSH) and we'll see.

I'm also partly amused and partly annoyed at watching myself enjoying being skinnier even while I'm worried it's because of something serious. Hello, cultural influence.

I was about 155 when I moved here, and now I'm 136. I don't think I've weighed that little in a decade or more...

Oh I get that, Smonster! I lost 20 pounds the summer my migraines were really bad...and I definitely wouldn't take bad migraines again to lost it again, but at least it was a nice side effect.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tep, I'm thinking you need the full Welcome Back Kotter treatment: up your nose with a rubber hose.

That's the Welcome Back Kotter version of a neti pot?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I am considering oatmeal, but it seems very far away.

The rice was microwavable. The oatmeal seemed hard.

I'm glad it won't take a big dental investment, Teppy.

smonster, it may just be the amount of physical work and disruption in eating through the move.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have brown rice, but considering it came with the food that gave me food poisoning...

Man, everything I have hurts. Possibly from when I almost passed out in the shower last night. I need a manservant here to fix my oatmeal and to listen to my whining.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, Dana, food poisoning is the WORST. And, Teppy, toothache is, oddly, also the worst. Here's wishing a healthier day to both of you.

Well, I'm leaving in a few minutes to go get the filling fixed, which should bring my issue to a close. Dana, I hope yours resolves soon, too. Food poisoning is lousy upon lousy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's the Welcome Back Kotter version of a neti pot?

But with a lot more water pressure.

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

My head is so stuffed up I can barely hear. The Kotter rubber-hose solution is actually sounding good.
