[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

And someone else is commenting, with lots of exclamation points, about how Clinton is going to euthanize disabled people, and how she's tired of this liberal bullshit being spewed all over everything. She really likes the word "spew."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I saw that you were tagged in it much earlier today. You can just untag yourself from posts, can't you?

I can untag myself from my friend's post, but the other person just typed my name without tagging me.

Ugh. Everything hurts, and there's nothing I can take, because my stomach is still too upset for Advil, and I have no Vicodin, and plain Tylenol does nothing. And I've got to go to work tomorrow and get a million things done, and I hurt. And I can't go hunt Pokemon or go to a movie or anything, because I hurt. Pain is stupid and I don't like it, and doctors are stupid and I don't like them.

I sent a message to my GP (who is not going to be my GP for much longer, after this), asking if she has any suggestions for what I should do, if I'm in severe pain that's affecting my ability to do my job, and I can't get the rheumatologist to call me back, and she won't prescribe me painkillers. (I phrased it better than that.)

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Hil, I feel so bad that this has gone on so long. I do hope you are able to get some response, and better yet relief.

I think I'm hungry, but my stomach is still not feeling great, and I don't know what I want to eat. I've got English muffins and peanut butter, which might be the best bet. I also kind of want tater tots, and I do have a bag of them in the freezer, but those will take a while to make.

Oh, and apparently the faculty union is going to have a march tomorrow, to protest the new contract, which does suck, and which makes us pay a lot more for medical insurance. But in this condition, I'm going to have trouble even walking from the parking garage to my office building. Marching is not going to happen.

For future tater tot reference: the Meijer in Oakley has store-brand tater rounds (same circumference, more or less, as tots, but less than half the height), and they bake in ~10 minutes. Tots take a lot longer. (Other brands may have the same -- or a similar -- thing, but I am cheap and buy store brand frozen tater products, so I can only speak for Meijer's tater rounds.)

Good to know. I think the ones in my freezer are half a bag of the fancy expensive ones from Whole Foods, because that's where I was the last time I was craving them.
