[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.

Hearts back to you, Steph.

Having watched my cats lick their paws after using the litter box, I can't bring myself to use fancy litters, with scents and other things. Shoot, even World's Best is off the menu for Harvey, since ingesting corn seems to make him have dramatic digestive symptoms. Feline Pine or move out into the country and let 'em go outside. Fortunately my two are extremely tolerant of very chunky litters, because if they had strong preferences the pine stuff would not do.

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

I'm filling out my pre-appointment questionnaire for my yearly physical. It wants to know if I have "history of cholesterol" or "history of thyroid." Who wrote this thing?

Hey, I got to a section where I don't need to check off anything! I have had none of these surgeries! I don't even know what a few of them are. What's T&A, other than in the "Dance 10, Looks 3" sense, because that can't be what they mean?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

HA.

I'm trying to envision what not having a history of cholesterol would look like.

My options for "Sexually active?" are "Yes," "No," and "Not currently." Those are not mutually exclusive choices.

Seriously, who came up with this form? There's a section where you have to enter the names of all your immediate family members, and then check off whether any of them have a history of various things. One of the things on the list is "Adoption."

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

Hil, tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy.

Hil, tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy.

Thanks! (My doctor has told me that, if I was born a couple decades earlier, I would have had that done by the time I was about six, but when I was a kid, the general thought was "We've been removing too many tonsils for no reason, so let's stop doing that," and they wouldn't remove tonsils unless they got infected something like four times within a year, and I never had more than three times.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What's T&A

Tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. #medicaleditor t edit #ButTooSlow

It wants to know if I have "history of cholesterol"

Can you write in "I had a Denny's Moons Over My Hammy this morning"? Because I would.

Hah. That reminds me of when people enter abnormal lab values as adverse events in my studies. And instead of like, specifying that it's hypercholesterolemia or whatever, they just put "cholesterol" or "white blood cells" and I have to say "so, 'white blood cells' by themselves are not actually a PROBLEM?"
