Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

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

Smonster, it's nice that your boss sets such a great example to follow (yes, there is snark in that sentence). Be at work at x Hour. Oh wait, I don't have the keys. Oh, never mind, go home.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Because of weather?

No, because of not having work for us. We have a bunch of bids out and a couple accepted; there's at least one homeowner who doesn't want to start until After Mardi Gras.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Update re: ladyparts, antibiotics, and your recommendations of treatment. TMI to follow in white font, but TL; DR: garlic was a BUST; communication problems with the doctor led me not to be able to try out Diflucan. Trader Joe's probiotic yogurt and CVS probiotic tablet were A++++

So, I decided, let me try askye's garlic tampon method. Tried it twice (1x one day; 1x another day). Nada. No reduction in symptoms. But I had a mean craving for garlic break.

Tried Trader Joe's yogurt + 1 CVS tablet. Did both each day and after 2-3 days, marked reduction in symptoms after 5 days, I felt great!

So, in the future, the TJ yogurt + CVS will be my way to go.

Is the yogurt an internal or external treatment?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I ate it! One a day.

If there is any extra calm~ma, I'll happily take it. I've been crying on and off most of the day because I'm so nervous about tomorrow. I haven't even been able to eat all the things. The anesthesia part is what makes me nervous, which I didn't have last time, and just being in the hospital in general.

sj, do you have anything mindless and soothing to watch? Would that help at all?

I'm trying to think of thing I do to try and self-soothe, and a lot of it is TV. Or I go on Instagram and search hastags. Like #sunset. Or #beach. Or -- don't laugh -- #capybara. Really. I love their little faces! They're so serene.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Calmness and soothing ~ma!

I baked my morning oatmeal with coconut oil and chocolate chips this morning and think I'm gonna have to make it again for dinner/dessert. Con: 20 minute wait plus cooking time Pro: warm gooey chocolates oatmealey goodness. I even forgot to add honey before cooking and it was still amazing with a little honey drizzled on top afterwards.
