Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

I can't give blood because of living in England, not to mention tats, but I wouldn't anyway, because of my needle phobia. It took great strength of will for all the blood draws and injections for my surgeries, and whenever possible, I requested a single dose of Valium. I see the need but I cover my eyes when I see injection/syringes on TV.

Strangely enough, watching people get stitched or seein surgery (except eye stuff,which OH NO NOT EVEN)doesn't bother me,and I could give Solomon insulin because his fur prevented me from seeing the...EW. CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

I am, however, an organ donor. Take what you like, science, and burn the rest!

Compassionately intolerant

Strix is me.

I felt badly about not being able to meet my goal of giving blood two years ago. My guilt for not overcoming my needle phobia was assuaged by having MUCH too low iron.

Plus, now it seems I have a low red blood count.

I doubt that even the Freemen of Dune would want my piquey water.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I haven't given blood in years. There's no reason that I can't, I just never get around to doing it.

I'm afraid to tell my hemotologist that I donate. I'd probably get a lecture.

So, liners in dresser drawers? Yes or no?

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

So, liners in dresser drawers? Yes or no?

I line my dresser drawers with old t-shirts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sorry it's been such a crappy day for so many.

Work was busy and scattered but around 4:30 my mom called to let me know all went well with my dad's heart procedure so I'm calling the day a win. And I came home to an apartment that is 68° instead of the 57°-63° that it has been lately.

Devi goes into the vet tomorrow for probable xrays and something called a nasal flush (which doesn't sound like fun.) Involves sedation. For an almost 16 year old cat with breathing issues.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm going through with this except that listening to her breathe is torture, not so much fun for her and on the off chance they find something either treatable or palliatively treatable, for that, I'm in. Hell, even to be told she's imminently terminal would give me something to pin down and plan out.

Falling apart because the repetitive wheezes just break me (oh, and the heater in my kitchen? Makes similar wheezes when it changes directions. NO LOVE, ME) every 2 days and being relieved that she's currently baking herself in the cabinet that houses the bedroom radiator because that means I can't hear her breathing....well, it is tiresome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear it, aurelia!

Hope it helps, sarameg.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, sara, what a rough place to be. I hope they have answers for you.

Nasal flushes are kitty neti pots. I hope it helps the the bitch kitty breathe easier. And you as well.

kitty neti pots

Yeah, that's gonna necessitate sedation with Devi...
