[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.

Sure he does. Have blanket, will travel.

Plus a lot of that stuff can be done over the phone. And if we get a car with necro-tempered glass, he can easily drive Ginger to appointments. Does the hospital have a parking garage?

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

Hil, might it be possible for your doctor to call in a couple days worth of painkillers since you have an appointment?

It's a new doctor. I doubt she'll give a prescription for painkillers to a patient she's never seen in person. And I don't want to start off by looking like a drug seeker.

Always Anti-fascist!

Get to keep my service hours for another year. Nothing like fighting for a life that doesn't truly make you happy, but living in my van down by the river? Clear downgrade.

I don't have an appointment souchas a show up to get squeezed in time. I got here eary for 3:45 but when I came in there was someone waiting to see the same doctor, someone for 3:30, and someone came in for a 4pm appointment. I don't think the 3:30 person has been seen yet.

I'm sorry erika, but I'm glad you get to keep what you have.

I'm out by myself for the first time since ltc was born. I'm at the market. Do I know how to party or what?

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

I'm at the market.

Whoa whoa whoa slow down there crazy lady!

I'm home. It's sad how much I enjoyed that trip to the market. I hate relying on other people to do errands for me, and I love being able to get exactly what I want.

Our wings are not tired.

Being out and about alone with a baby is more complex than those who haven't done it realize!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And, since you had the baby with you (hands-free mode) for nine months before she was born, it's been almost a year since you two were out without her.

You got a little time by yourself and to pick out what you wanted it's a good thing.

I got x rays. I'll find out tomorrow the results. My stupid knee didn't hurt the way it has before so I was trying to describe it.

I have a prescription for physical therapy and I'll call tomorrow. I told my doctor I'm moving so she said if it's really serious and requires more than just PT she recommends I hold off on that until I move. Hopefully I just need PT.

And ice! Ice is still a good thing so I got an ice wrap thing from Rite Aid and it's freezing for 2 hours until I can use it.

Unfortunately I learned that not only have I regained all the weight I lost in the fall/winter but gained more. Which made me feel frustrated but next to the Rite Aid is a meat market that makes yummy sandwiches so I got a whole (half for tomorrow) and they had mini pumpkin whoopie pies and salted carmel brownies. I got one of each (at the whoopie pie). THIS is the reason I gained the weight back. I can't just act like I don't know how it happened. But I'm resolving to go back to simpler eating.
