See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It *tastes* fine; I'm just not able to get anything down that's room temp or below. It could be Dom Perignon and I'd feel the knives.

Happily, that fades after a couple of days. After the first dose I was craving Diet Coke and root beer so much I was hallucinating about them, and finally someone said, "It's not permanent. By week two you should be fine." But for right now, knives all the way, baby.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, that's a bitch of a side effect. Glad it's only temporary, because hot Dom Perignon is nasty.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hot Dr Pepper, especially with lemon and/or orange slices, is actually pretty good.

That’s a sucky side effect!!

I do agree that Core Power is pretty good as protein shakes go. It’s from the Fairlife milk company—they also have some Fairlife brand shakes that I got at Costco once that basically just taste like milk? Those aren’t as easy to find though.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I can kind of picture that.

Maybe a cup warmer near the couch would be handy to keep things on the right side of room temp, JZ? But hopefully this stage passes quick enough regardless.

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

“Clearly it’s a two-shout job” made me snort laugh.

I remember when I had pneumonia when I was 8 I couldn’t feel cold drinks and it freaked me out - I could drink a glass of water and it felt like I’d had nothing to drink (so we heated everything up- in the dark ages, before microwaves!). I wonder if the phenomena are related. What pisses off throats and makes them reject cold drinks? Is it that the swallowing muscles aren’t working correctly?

If champagne isn’t explicitly contra-indicated maybe you should keep some around to celebrate with each time the knives go away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have no idea what was in it, but there was definitely a drink called a Flaming Dr Pepper when I was in college...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I remember Flaming Dr Peppers. I don't think they contain any Dr Pepper, though.

The Core Power shout pleases me, more so knowing it is effective! (if requiring two applications)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tired and stressed, as usual.

No, I bet they didn't, but maybe they are warm!
