I don't usually have allergies but I am sneezing like crazy this week.

[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."
I'm so tired today. I need to remember it is my night to work the library bookstore.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't have allergies, or at least I never have before. I've slept at least 18 of the last 24 hours, probably more. It's pretty weird. I have no energy and I'm kind of numb. Delayed stress response from all the loss of the last year? Just another bump in the brain roller coaster? Actual physical illness? No clue.

Where's my Baymax when I need him?

Whatever it is, I hope you are feeling better soon.
I ate my full lunch today and I'm still starving.

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
smonster, I had a pretty physical reaction to the first anniversary of Rob's death. It's absolutely possible.
Or you might have developed allergies. Never had an issue up until five or six years ago. Now Allegra is my springtime boyfriend.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Satire only really works from the bottom up. Satire is making fun of the rich/powerful; making fun of the poor/weak is just mean.
Although satire is often quite mean, and often skewers those below as well as those above the writer's social class.

I suspect Twitter Man was arguing for the right to pick on others, but I can't be sure.

Yeah, I'm not trying to defend his position so much as noting that calling something satire doesn't make cruelty forgivable, since that's sort of implied by the definition.

I should frame the tweet though, cause he admitted he read the quote wrong. That never happens. If I were closer to my extended family, I suspect the article about the woman misdiagnosed with CP would be flooding my inbox today...it really is an amazing story cause some shots(?) of L-Dopa really did change her life, but then they have to Go There-- the woman describes herself as a "happy-go-lucky girl, trapped in my own body"(Even quoting that makes me feel that I should be struck by lightning, actually.) Anyway, familial estrangement does have good points.(Why must I read these things, why? I just get stuck with serious thoughts all day. When it's disability, you don't even have to wait for the comments to get to the stupid bits...the "reporter" takes you right there, personally.
