Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

Part of me thinks the above statement with a couple of modest edits should be given to one of Daniel's supervisors - but possibly not in written form. And/or that the strategy to take the with guy who said "WTF is wrong with you?" is to very simply say, "A few hours after that convo, it occurred to me that "fish sticks" might have meant something other than the obvious. If so, ew, sorry." But then leave it at that. Because the more you explain yourself, the more it sounds like you are protesting too much.

The other alternative would be to play innocent of the possible innuendo, and stage a "Christopher Judge finds out about furries" moment. Because making them explain the other guys' crudity could theoretically take the heat off you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so DH just had an emergency tooth extraction. yay! I was trying to remember what foods worked for people in the last few days.

And the dentist -- gave Matt the tooth -- eww. He has been instructed to hide it so I don't see it.

I got no suggestions, beth. I do hope the pain is under control.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

"Oh right! I meant to snark about Twilight, Edward and the sparkly urine, but my head exploded and I couldn't make it work."

I just snarfed coffee on my keyboard.

Mal spent about 7 hours at the vet and *finally* gave it up and peed in their sterile environement[1]. he has no crystals in his urine, but does have a UTI so it's banana-flavored antibiotics and wet food mixed with extra water for my little furry bladder on legs!

[1] After, allegedly, growling at his state of incarceration and attacking the bars of the cage in myriad cute ways. The vet techs took *lots* of digital pics of him, most of which are pretty awesome.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

so DH just had an emergency tooth extraction. yay! I was trying to remember what foods worked for people in the last few days.

Anything not-hard: smoothies, yogurt, applesauce, bananas, ice cream, peanut butter (actually, a PB&J sandwich on soft bread [as opposed to the aggressively high-fiber bread that has more whole grains that can be sort of poke-y]), soup, pasta that doesn't require intense chewing (so, no lasagna, but do try angel hair or other skinny/tiny pasta), and baked/mashed potatoes.

Honestly, if he chews on the side opposite from the extraction, he should be fine for just about anything. But if his whole mouth is tender (and it might be for a day or 3), then go with the mooshy foods.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Happy Birthday ND!
