Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Frank, I think you asked me a while back what town the new house is in, and I can't remember if I replied or not. It's in Holden, fwiw.

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

Glamcookie,

I don't know what that means, but a lot of 'ma headed your way.

Also, near Worcester, I assume?

And Google maps shows me, yes, just a bit North of there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My doctor found that my thyroid was enlarged during a routine physical last week. I had an ultrasound done and I have a nodule on my thyroid

Speaking as someone who has gone through this, I can tell you that 95-99% of thyroid nodules are benign. I do suspect the next step for you will be a biopsy just to make sure. It's a fairly simple proceedure done with a long needle that they insert into the nodule and suck out some cells. They'll pull out cells from 3-4 places. My doc always sprayed a numbing agent on my neck so it didn't even really hurt. Just a pressure.

I'm surprised they sent you to an ENT. An endocrinologist is a thyroid specialist.

I'd be glad to answer any questions you have.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Congrats on the house, sj.

{{{GC}}} I hope it's nothing.

I'm really tired of the bad news concerning people I care about.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Thanks for the ~ma and reassurance. I'm sure it's all going to be fine - it's just nerve-wracking. I also have high cholesterol and need to wean the baby so I can start medication. Mama's getting old!

Yes. It's a little further away from the city than West Boylston but close enough that I can still do my errands in the city without it being a giant pain in the ass. We may have some sort of open house when we get settled in. Although it may be a "here's a margarita, want to help us unpack books?" style of party, depending on how quickly we get things done.
