[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.

It really does.
Gah. I do rather miss potatoes. Still, I had chocolate berry cheesecake for breakfast, so I shouldn't bitch.
Happy Songkran, everyone! Should you feel like celebrating Thai New Year, just splash water on people! (I've not ventured outside yet. Um. Although I think it's TOMORROW that the water games really start. By which I mean, bins full of icewater, massive water pistols...gulp. But it IS very very hot indeed...)
Drunk Meara is adorability on toast, incidentally. BLESS.
...I wish that I had some Buffistas here to play with. Feeling a trifle lonely. Am ass. Should go out and play with myself.
....okay, that came out wrong. Um.

Now tagless for your comfort.
And easy-peasy!

I have no cheesecake.

I am now apparently, a Beer Pig. I've been invited to participate in the local trivia contest with DH's boss' team. I'm stoked. It sounds like a fun weekend thing to do.
I will probably be mining the buffista hivemind for answers, though.

Laga, homemade tomato soup is only marginally more difficult to make than making it from a condensed can... and the results are much more than marginally better. Come morning, I'll type up the recipe I like and email it to you. Profile addy is good, right?
I'm not sure I see how that helps the rest of us. Hint hint.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, that ~~ma is some powerful stuff. Sis came through the surgery great - she was at her own house lounging in her own living room by 9pm last night - but the best news is that the doctor was wrong. NO CANCER. Chronic thyroiditis. They removed half her thyroid still, but you can function with half and she won't need Synthroid or the like. She has a killer incision, though. I told her we would be calling her by her middle name, Anne, for awhile. She asked why and I said, "That way I'm the Other Boelyn Sister". She laughed and threw a gauze packet at me.
Thank you all so much for the ~~~ma and thoughts and prayers. I would have never gotten through this without youse guys.
MWAH

Sean, poor S. I hope you guys get some answers today so she can come home. Being hospitalized is SO not fun.
Honestly, he cannot conceive that sometimes, shit beyond our control happens and sometimes, we all need some help. Totally clueless.
I actually adore running into these idiots, because they run their mouth, then I open mine, do some educating, and make them feel stupid. It’s quite fun. I’ve gotten to do it on the topics of social security, food stamps (and welfare in general), unemployment, workman’s comp (which went to a lawsuit), and mental illness. I hate that I have to do it, but I find great pleasure watching their faces as they discover that they’ve just insulted the person they’re talking to. Oh! And I use REALLY big words (not always, but sometimes I use words they couldn’t possibly know the meaning of) to show that I’m well-educated and well-spoken to help show that it can happen to anyone.
It needs to be pointed out that drunk meara is too much fun to read.
We're going to send her a card with a check to pay a month's rent to help out but I don't blame her for her situation at all. She's just had a run of bad luck.
You’re good people.
Aimee! That is such good news! So glad to hear it. So sad I had to hear it from you sitting at your desk at work.

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.
Yay for good news for your sister, Aimee!
Ok, so since there is interest in it, I'll go ahead and put the recipe here. I cadged it from the Minnesota Catholic Daughters' cookbook.
Old Fashioned Tomato Soup
3 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
1 tsp. or less salt (I omit it altogether when making it for clients on a low-sodium diet and still get rave reviews)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 quart tomatoes (a big can of crushed tomatoes or tomato puree works well)
1/4 tsp baking soda
4 c or less of milk
Blend first four ingredients in heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add tomatoes, cook 5 minutes. Add soda and milk. Bring to boil - reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Will not curdle.
