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

You know what I hate? Whenever I'm watching TV and I see a father and daughter at her wedding. I am reminded that was the one thing I was never able to give my dad and I hate it.

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

Well, I got some more medical test results back. Looks like my anemia is being caused by bleeding somewhere in my digestive system. Just need to figure out where, which means going to a gastroenterologist and having a bunch of really uncomfortable tests. (Current speculation is that it's in my stomach, and that it's because I take too much Advil. My body seems to be slowly eliminating every non-opioid painkiller available. And the state of Ohio screwed up its bureaucracy and medical marijuana won't be available in September like it was supposed to be.)

Ugh, Hil. I'm sorry. Good luck with the tests.

Vortex, my dad died when I was two, and those scenes have always been very painful for me. I have to excuse myself and hide in the bathroom at actual weddings for the Father/Daughter dance as well.

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

Good luck and hugs and health~ma all around, Buffistas.

Would anyone happen to know which brand of blood glucose monitor is the best? Any recs from the sugar-challenged 'istas?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I've been using the Accu-chek Aviva for several years. It's been very reliable. They recently upgraded to the Aviva Plus. Before, you had to use test solution to key every new batch of test strips to your meter. But with the Plus you can use a new batch of test strips without coding them with test solution. The lancet is pretty pain-free, too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I hope you have answers soon, Askye. You too, Hil.

During my best friend's father-daughter dance at her wedding, I totally grabbed one of the disposable cameras and ducked outside to take photos of the gardens with zillions of bird houses at the adorable place she chose for her venue.
