[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.

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

Hil, I know this won't help now, but what about Afrin?

I'm already using Nasacort plus a saline spray, and the last time I used the saline spray, I got a nosebleed. I think I can't really add anything more to that.

I got a memento from Jeeves after only 4 visits! Which was great, because I was frustrated on how hard it was to get them in the yard.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I was wondering what brought you to Savannah, Laura. Have a lovely time!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hil, my sinuses are THE WORST today. It's entirely sinus and not a migraine (small favor), but unbelievable pain. I think I've taken all the drugs I can take for now, so I'm just sort of smiting my forehead and grumbling.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil and Teppy, I microwave a damp wash cloth for a few seconds until it's steamy and put that over the sinus area. That can help. If you don't have a microwave, a bowl of as hot as you can stand water to dip it in works as well

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

Afrin and Nasacort aren't the same, Afrin's a decongestant and Nasacort's a cortisone allergy reliever. Afrin saves me from sinus and ear pain when nothing else, even systemic decongestants, don't work. And if you're sick of getting advice, please ignore it, sorry!

Handsome Nasacort, saved me from the pollen

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This. Afrin also works pretty quickly.

I don't want to start trying any more nasal sprays, since I've already had a nosebleed.

I'm reading Fun Home, which I somehow never read before, though I've been meaning to read it for a while. I hadn't known that Alison Bechdel grew up right near where I used to live in PA. It's weird seeing all those familiar places mentioned in a book.

Thrive to spite them

Having a laid back Mothers Day. Taking Mom for early Mexican food. My brother and E came overfor awhile.

I've been worried about this summer and dealing with E. I love him but he is so high energy. However he has summer camps lined up almost every week. Actually I wish I was doing some od this..pottery camp, nature camp, general day camp. Some half days some full days.

So I feel more relaxed. I love E but there's something about his energy levels and things that triggers anxiety.

This is weird. I finished reading Fun Home, and was googling for some more information, and realized that I lived no more than a few blocks away from Alison Bechdel's mother for a few years.
