Many of us are celebrating, or will when the stress passes, a new day. So NoRouz Mobarak! to all, and especially Suzi.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

[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.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
sounds plausible, sj. I remember hating the GD test. I didn't have too much trouble with nausea but that drink made me lose it every time.
It is disgusting. At first it just seems like it is going to taste like gatorade, but then it burns.

Happy NoRouz Mobarak, Suzi! I love the way we have such a diverse group of people on this board that it means we get to celebrate a ton more holidays than most.

Our wings are not tired.
Always in favor of holidays! NoRouz Mobarak indeed!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy NoRouz Mobarak, Suzi!
Renewal is a good theme for me today! I signed up for the 1000 Mile Challenge, which is to walk/run 1000 miles between today, 3/20, and the first of winter, 12/21. As the sage said, the journey of a 1000 miles starts with one step. Or in my case, a quarter of a mile.
Paying off the mortgage made me feel like things are actually possible. That I can do stuff I used to not even try because it seemed impossible. Now I'm trying. Who knows what I might do? I might even start writing again.

Mobarak NoRouz to y'all too. I wish I could physically visit each of you and share sweets as is the tradition.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
sj, see if they'll let you drink it through a straw. I managed to keep it down on my third try because I didn't taste it, just slurped it straight down with the straw. Good luck.

And NoRouz Mobarak, Suzi! Today is also Ostara, so celebration of rebirth and renewal is pretty universal.

Bev, I'll ask. I did manage to keep it down through sheer will power, but I don't know how many of them I hav e to drink for the long test.
