Not Quite Sabine [KH/Greek Mythology, Hades/Persephone, R]

... "What's the flap about Pirithous?" Phil asked. He reached for a bowl of pita rounds in the center of the table, dumped the bread and started munching on the bowl. Sora felt his cheeks heating and grimaced. Kairi, who noticed, sighed and put an arm around his shoulders. Persephone drew herself up, smirking, leaning toward the satyr. "He planned to kidnap me." Sora tried to look surprised, but...

It's about time!

I had been hoping they would have used the exhaust air, but now that they're going water cooling, that should be more efficient. Definitely save on heating bills by reusing "waste" heat.

A Little Cry for Help

... doctor and hallelujah; I had an answer. Unfortunately, an answer is not a cure to the problem. I started taking a different anti-inflammatory, started taking a higher dose of Lyrica and using a heating pad to alleviate my symptoms, but unfortunately it's not doing anything. And so far, the only information I can find on it says that the only other treatment is steroid injections. Right now, I...

comment_fic of the day

...the moment he closed his eyes the images assailed him. Long nights on a hot, humid planet, breathing his lover’s breath and shivering despite the heat. Erotic images flashed through his sleeping mind, heating his blood and making him harder than he could ever remember being. He remembered the feel of callused fingers on his sweaty skin, thin lips dragging across his naked chest, three-day stubble ...

the whole birth thing

... There was a part that didn't get numb and they got a little startled when I said "um, doc? That bit isn't numb" but the MU gave me some gas at that point. They also finally found the heating for the room but I was shivering really badly at that point as well and both Fallon and I were chilled. After that the midwife took Fallon to be weighed and for her blood sugar to be checked - the MU went ...

David Wenham and Dougray Scott

..., let's get you out and dried and in bed. We've got ice for that ankle and then a heating pad." Gripping the side of the tub, Dave rolled himself on to it; once perched there, he swung his legs ...huh," Dougray said and looked up as he bent to start drying David. "As soon as I get your ice, heating pad, dinner, Tylenol, extra pillows..." "Oh damn, I think I've died and gone to heaven... my own man-...

... to be unburied that long in Jewish tradition, and we sure as heck can't do it on the Sabbath! Briefly, he grew up during the Depression, pretty much at the poverty line. He had no heating and no hot water where he lived, and was involved in athletics at school because he could use the showers there which actually did have hot water. He stayed out of trouble and got athletic scholarships to ...

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

.... Gradually pour the scalding half-and-half into the whipped egg yolk mixture, making sure you keep whisking constantly so the eggs don not curdle. If any lumps do form, strain the mixture first before heating. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (We ran into a small problem in that the liquid just barely fit in the top of my double boiler) and, stirring constantly with a wooden ...

Siege/Surrender: Chapter 5

... a soft sigh from Allan, sinking into the bed in his sleep, made them both look at him and smile. When he glanced at Rush again, Rush's face was slightly flushed, and David felt his own cheeks heating up as well, not out of embarrassment, but anticipation. That night, David lay in bed and listened to Allan get up again, but this time the faint clank of metal, of swords inside their sheaths, told ...

A boring day

... has one) even though according to the internet, they kind of suck and are hard to use (my mom has never figured out how to use hers). I tried a few different methods, including scoring with a glass cutter, heating with a torch, and then dunking in water (seemed to work to make one nice cut but I couldn’t get a ring, could just cut the bottle into two), I also tried using a piece of string soaked ...
