Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

'Trash'


Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I hope the PT gets you some relief, Suzi.

how do people with chronic pain do this?

Alternating between ignoring it and doing just enough to mitigate it until I can't function any more and do nothing for a day or more, feeling like a broken slacker the whole time? Wait until my pain stays at a 7 for at least two days before seeing my PT? Spend at least a half hour a day lying on my living room floor letting my back unwind? Judicious and sparing use of a heating pad, muscle relaxants, booze, Ambien, or "herbal relief?" Go to yoga, but not regularly enough?

Some of these are better methods than others.

Compassionately intolerant

I feel like I'm on the mountaintop, spinning around in glorious mental illness pride freedom, and they're playing hide and seek with the Nazis.

This is a thing of beauty, smonster. (funnily enough, I mistyped 'think of beauty...which I think is more true.)

I'm sorry for the impetus for the thought, but the thought is awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Especially since pasta is the one thing I can reliably get her to eat.

Fusilli, butter and parm might work.

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

My sleep schedule is all screwed up, and I'm hurting and I don't have any pain meds. I'm considering making ramen at 1:22 AM, because my brain seems to think this will help somehow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wish I could pass on leftover pain pills from my surgery to those of you who need them so much. (Pretty sure it's a felony, though.)

Our wings are not tired.

I'd listen to the brain in this instance. I hope you were able to sleep after the carb load.

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

Terrible nights sleep for both myself and ltc. The teenage relatives I have helping out on Tuesday showed up a half hour early. So of course I was unshowered and uncaffeinated. Good thing my kid is the type that I can hand to other people she doesn't know very well and she's happy as a clam.

When my son was stroller age my teenage nephew used to love to get him from me and take him to the mall because he was a chick magnet.

They adore her. She miserable again this morning because of stupid molars but they're snuggling her and watching Sesame, which I usually don't allow in the morning. I called the doctor because she doesn't want to eat and gave her some Motrin at the nurse's suggestion.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

She miserable again this morning because of stupid molars

I see our toddlers are twins in molar misery. Peanut is also stuffed up again because of daycare crud, so last night was not a good night for us, either.
