[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

These are kind of funny - like, what were your other options? Fetal position in the corner for life?

Right. And I have tried that method of dealing for long periods of time and am not working. So, hearing people say things like that to me just makes me feel awful.

It's why I'm going to be taking a vacation next month, for some quality "This is my blanket, this is my cat, this is my bed, don't bother me" time.

This is a good plan.

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

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't get it when people call me brave. It's only bravery if you have options. Bravery is going up the stairs in the towers. I'm just putting one foot in front of another.

What Ginger said.

The HR person here told me I was brave for going into the partners meeting and explaining the situation before I started my chemo, when really the reason I did it was so that I didn't have to deal with the questions or (worse yet) the pitying looks.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ginger nails it. Maybe some people think I have options that I fundamentally reject. I have developed an internal avatar of a woman in armor with a sword. She comforts me.

Can I use an inhaler that expired a year ago if I can't get my doctor to call in a new prescription tonight?

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

I'd say use it sj. I'm horrible at looking at the dates on my inhalers.
