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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good! Good idea, too. Lips~ma!

Thanks!

We toured the JCC today and the school there is awesome, as are the other facilities like the gym and pool. We have to read through all the materials they gave us and figure out how we're going to pay for it, but we're definitely leaning toward sending ltc there.

Our wings are not tired.

Excellent news, sj. It is good to hear the facility and people were nice.

Lips~ma!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad the meds are helping, WindSparrow. I'm taking Florastor probiotics to help keep C diff. at bay. I've read that the main component, Saccharomyces boulardii, is useful against candida, too. Might be worth a shot.

I'm glad the JCC is looking like a good option, sj.

I'm working from home today, which is lovely. It's a sunny day, but not too hot. All my apartment windows are open, and I can hear the cat snoring on the sofa.

My 40th birthday celebration is officially starting one month early next Saturday with Hedwig and the Angry Inch and dinner at one of the restaurants in Eataly Boston!

Calli, I was about to tell you I have probiotics on hand, but when I went to check what strains were in there, I saw the experation date was in 2013... time for new ones. Thanks for the rec.

sj, I'm glad the JCC looks promising.

I've been so sick from the antibiotics I have been on for the uti that will not die, that I have been taking two different types of probiotics. It seems to finally be helping.

sj, I'm glad the JCC looks promising.

Thanks. I think ltc is really going to love it.

Since Saccharomyces boulardii is actually a yeast, I'm wondering if it might be counter productive to take it while I'm taking a bunch of antifungal herbal supplements.

Compassionately intolerant

Fourth trip to the doc in 2 weeks today.

Ugh of the first order.

The discussion of antibiotics and probiotics is timely for me too.

Healing vibes all around!
