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.

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

Andi, that's wonderful! You're already beautiful, and you deserve to feel good, and feel good about yourself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My only opinion regarding the toilet paper is if you use up the roll, you put on a new one

Oh, Jesus. We have a whole passive-aggressive thing going one that neither one of us has ever acknowledged but we both continue to do, where when the roll is getting towards the end, we try to use less and less, so as to not be the one to have to change the roll. It's comical (until I'm the one left with 2 squares of paper left).

Oh, and if you make the bed, sweet. But don't tuck all the sheets tightly in, because that's where my feet go, and it's uncomfortable when you have to fight the sheets to not be squishing your feet. Also, I often like to stick my feet out from the sheets, so...

Our bed is a freakish hybrid, because Tim wants his feet trapped and snuggly, and I need my feet to be free. So his side of the bed has the sheets tucked in tightly at the foot (by me; otherwise he just shoves them down there half-heartedly when he makes the bed) and my side is never, ever tucked in on pain of death.

Fourteen months into Intuitive Eating (eat what you want, when you want, as much as you want, but pay attention to signals from your body about those; take time to notice how things make you feel as you eat them as well as how you feel after), and I am down 41 lbs. This is in spite of the fact that I still freak out about how eating like this is going to make me gain tons of weight. Every time the doctor has me get on the scale, I expect it to go up, but it keeps going down.

Andi, have you ever read the Fat Nutritionist's website? Intuitive Eating is more or less what she talks about, although she generally falls on the side of "focus on health, not weight loss (although if you lose weight that's fine, and if you don't, that's fine)." But I love what she has to say, about trusting your body, and listening to your own internal cues instead of external cues, etc.

It sounds like what you're doing is good for you from both a physical and mental standpoint, and that's an excellent, beautiful thing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

great news WS.

glasses are upside down - but they are in an open cabinet

TP - as long as a roil is there I don't care but the cats prefer over because it is more fun.

Sheets - if you care make the bed - because i promise if I have been in it it will be at least half unmade in the morning . Call me Beth - destroyer of tucked in sheets.

In our house many of the cabinets will not stay closed but my parents blame all open cabinets on me( even thought I no longer live with them ) - because I am not good about closing them or drawers or lids

there used to be a laundry discussion . and then I shut up. because it wasn't critical. so whoever is doing the laundry does it however they want .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I had a roommate who left cabinets open all the time. So one day while she was out of the kitchen I opened them all, and all the drawers, and possibly the oven, refrigerator, and freezer.

Scared the SHIT out of her when she walked back in the kitchen. I told her now she knows how I feel. But she still left cabinets open. I was unwilling to try shock therapy to break her habit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just don't see them but - now I try to at least look around when I clean the kitchen - I do better

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's great, Andi!

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

If it's under, you have to pull harder, and the spring-loaded thing comes off.

I have never had this problem.

Also, Jordan has no interest in unrolling TP. He's such an odd cat sometimes.

Sheets - if you care make the bed - because i promise if I have been in it it will be at least half unmade in the morning . Call me Beth - destroyer of tucked in sheets.

I am more or less Beth. The bed gets made once on Clean Sheet Day, when they come out of the laundry. After that, the best they get until the next Clean Sheet Day is to be half-assedly pulled into a vague suggestion of being made.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I hear you're less likely to get bedbugs if you don't make the bed.

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

Fruit Police, I have eaten an orange, as part of my new Eat A Plant Every Day policy. Leo the cat is staring at me with his face all scrunched up, thinking, "Isn't that the dreadful smell she rubs all over the floor sometimes? Is she eating floor cleaner?"

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

if you put the TP under, it is less likely to have the paper go out of control when you have to spin the thing.

I always do "under."
