I miss Erin. Also, I need to hear about this.
Basically, I got really drunk at an Aussie bar, went home, started schreeching at drunk Irishmen in the street out of the window in bad accents, flashed my tits and yelled something along the lines of "Come on up!"
They stormed the door, someone let them in (it was a big building full of students) and they started barging about, evidently loking for the crazy naked Polish/Irish/American girl. My friends promptly locked me in a closet, lied to the Irish guys, who got locked out and started banging obnoxiously on the California students' building next door. Since it was 4 a.m., the California students response was to throw some furniture (like, a couple of chairs) out at the Irish guys, who started to attack the dangerous furniture and building with drunken horny Irish fervor, someones called the cops and an amazing 15 seconds later. the efficient English police were bundling up the 10 or so drunk Irish guys, while I was banging on the inside of a closet door, demanding to be let out.
It wasn't MUCH of a riot. But there it is.
I just went and saw my friend J in the hospital. I've never been on that side of a visit before. I had no idea how exhausting it is.
To get a decent place in this city, one we'd want to live in for the duration, we'd need at least $65,000 to put *down*.
(Which, really, if we actually do have at least $40k in equity right now, isn't outside of possible, assuming I'm able to find work post-baby.)
I could almost certainly spend $80,000 on a parking place.
CRAP CRAP CRAP.
Anyone have any really good suggestions for taxes? Cause I just did mine and seem to owe $2400. I went over it a couple times and it still adds up like that. FUCK.
I think if you're
that
much at risk, get thee to H&R Block or best equivalent.
tax accoutant - or do as ita said.
Nonian- hugs to your friend and her DH - that is just a crazy difficult thing for both of them - and thier daughter.
When we had our birthing classes, the nurse described her three labors (all natural). The back labor sounded really painful.
It's a bitch. One of the pesky things about it too (in my experience, at least) is that the nurses monitoring your progress don't seem to think you're as far along in labor as you actually are. I stunned my nurses in all three deliveries.
Plei, for what it's worth, nobody ever mentioned my placenta being up front (and I would think they would, yes?), and I had back labor, exclusively.
I've never heard of that before; I do know back labor is more common if the baby's face is anterior.
One of the reasons they were surprised Annabel was sunny side up was that I never had back labor.
Fwiw, my kids were all face down, despite all my back labor.
I never bothered to look to see if O came out right side-up. I was getting a bigger kick watching my twin sister's eyes turn into dinner plates. And worrying if Christopher was ever going to breath again.
Blessed epidural.
