I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.  

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

I'm sorry, beth

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Ginger, thank you so much for those links, both actually sound very relevant and It's so empowering to be able to bring more ideas to the table when I meet with my PCP on Friday. Maybe the PT will be helpful, and if I keep my fingers crossed maybe there'll even be a cancellation in the next few weeks, waiting is so miserable.

And LeNubian, yes, I've been doing accupuncture (most recently this afternoon.) The one downside to the group accupunture where I go ($65 for 5 sessions, can't beat the price) is that since it's done on recliners in a group environment there's no clothing removal (beyond shoes and socks) so no poking in the abdominal area.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All sympathies, Burrell and family.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In good news on the kitty front: Nathaniel could not walk on Sunday, but he can walk from the bed room to the kitchen with out falling over. he staggers but this means he is responding very well to the medication.

That's great, beth! I hope he continues to improve.

So my sister posted something on Facebook about Obama insisting on "holiday" trees instead of Christmas trees. I promptly Snopsed her. She's coming to visit tomorrow. Normally we carefully avoid discussing religion or politics.

This visit is going to be awesome.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Burrell, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Beth, I'm glad Nathanial is responding to the meds. May he continue to improve.

I need help with a wedding present (and yes, the bit from Bull Durham is running in my head). My cousin, ex-addict and her fiance, another ex-addict are having a low key wedding. Neither have completed any rehab but are supposedly clean now. I don't want to just give them money, it does not appear they are registered anywhere, and I'm not getting a spark of inspiration. Any ideas?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

beth, glad to hear there's some improvement.

Burrell, so sorry for your loss.

Suzi, someone once gave me the idea of giving step-stool/small step-ladders (like for high cupboards in the kitchen, not garage-type) and I often do that for couples I don't know well enough/am not close enough to to make something. They've always been appreciated. I've also used the adage "you can't have too many kitchen/dish towels" in the past.

Or, of course, candlesticks are always nice. t /Bull Durham paraphrase
