[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.

Yeah, the crazy diet I've been on has been working, but I'm a bit worried that when I eventually go off it I'll just balloon back up, which would not be good. But so far enjoying the results....and this is the first time I've ever managed to stay on a diet this long (I've had little cheats here and there, but am mostly being pretty good about it--and in the past I'd make it like, a week, and then have a few cheats, and then say screw it).

Thanks, y'all.

Go you, askye!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Laura. Your poor friend. Just thinking about losing one of my brothers makes me gaspy; thinking about both of them within a few months of each other? Unimaginable. So many hugs to your friend.

meara, I have no idea what you'll do with that insight, but it's totally brilliant.

Yay, askye!

"Hoo wee, them's some tits you got there, girl! Yeah, we don't even know what to do with that much titty. Good luck wrangling them bazongas, sweetheart! True&Co. out!"

Clearly True & Co. needs to hire Zen as their Communications Manager, stat.

ION, a completely non-Buffista friend on FB went to see Ira Glass in San Diego recently and posted pictures of herself and her younger son with him, and it is taking every bit of strength I've got not to start scream-commenting, "SAGET!"

Thrive to spite them

I have a weird size (at least my current bras are size) 42B. Hard to find.

I feel weird being so happy about getting through a shift but it's been awhile!

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

The temperature here "feels like 3". I do not find this acceptable.

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

Are we just getting to an age where death is becoming more common?

I will defer to the actual actuaries among us, but I remember Marty the Medical Student saying, "If you make it through adolescence you're good until your 50s. Then in your fifties heart disease and cancer start to hit hard. If you make if through your Fifties you're good until you are in your Seventies."

Just from my Kenyon alumni group, I can say we're losing about three or four a year from a cohort in their fifties (and we aren't a big school).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm feeling sad. Harvey was being particularly affecting in his pleas for food - so inconsolable. I just apologized for being a bad mom, near tears. Thank heavens I'm not watching any greeting card company commercials, or I'd be weeping. I'm so sad I can't think beyond offering a blanket warm thoughts for those who are concerned about friends and relations.

Thrive to spite them

I don't find that acceptable either. However I would happily be there. According to weather.com it "feels like -7" here and when I have to go to work tomrrow it's projected to "feel like -25". I really hope my car door doesn't freeze shut because I have no contingency plan for that.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh Andi, I'm so sad for you and Harvey. Warm, soothing thoughts to you both.

Our wings are not tired.

Snuggles up with WindSparrow and Harvey.

Marty the Medical Student

David, that is pretty much what my mom's doctors have said. She is 93 because she didn't get cancer or any of the dread diseases that get you in the 40-50 range. Her heart valves are super sketchy and are going to stop working, but the cardiologist says it isn't disease, it is old age.
