Hil, it takes no authority to call 911. Let the paramedics evaluate her.
Yes, if someone refuses first aid, you cannot continue to administer it, but legally and morally their refusal for aid does not stop you from summoning emergency assistance.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

[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.

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.

Is she Asian? Because, WOW, the average person of Asian descent metabolize alcohol WAY more slowly than the average person of Anglo descent.

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

Yeah, she's Chinese.
We were just about to call 911 when she threw up and then started feeling better. I waited around for a while to make sure she seemed OK. After a few hours, it was definitely wearing off.

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
That would really be the lamest super hero ever, huh?
You come over here, Lex Luthor! I'll kick your ass all over my living room! Maybe!

Job~ma for PMM's DH and for Epic, too. And continued ~ma for billytea (plus coming safely~ma for babytea).
I just went for a walk with the Alpine walking sticks. Probably not very helpful to keep up a steady stream of body-hate while doing so. But I still don't know how to shut it off. I read the Fat Acceptance stuff... and it's not taking. I don't know how to force myself to accept it any better than I know how to force diet and exercise to actually make me skinny.

ma~~~ billytea.
WindSparrow -- I'm not sure that acceptance is the place to start. It takes baby steps to get there.
I had a bunch written here that talked about me, but I think it might not help. Basically , find something small to hang onto. I've got three or four things that work at different times. I still have bad days -- but they get less and less in the way of taking care of my self.
