Now I'm imagining hearing the following during a sex scene:
This.... is not.... a GIFT!!
OK, I think I'm going to abandon this line of thinking....
Oooh yes... yes... Yes! Gift me baby!
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think her suing for child support is a bit much.
I agree.
Congrats to ita on the new apartment.
I've been sending resumes hither and yon. Mostly hither. But, a little bit yon. And I've been very carefully ignoring the thought of the apartment hunting issues that will follow should anything come of them. I've been in my current place for six years now, which is the longest I've lived in one spot since 1983. I wonder what I'll find behind my bookcases? Possibly my lost innocence. Or at least a shiny nickle.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Welcome home, Suela! Um, you don't have to go to work today or anything insane like that, do you?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You know, if a gentleman engages in unsafe sex, I'm willing to support the necessary obligation to help support any child resulting from it. But when it's a safe and obviously recreational activity like oral-sex-with-condom, it wasn't a gift intended to keep on giving, so to speak.

What is even happening?
What if the parties practice safe sex? Even the most reliable forms of contraception have failure rates?

You know, when everything is covered in snow still white and pristine and the sun is sparkling brightly through snow blowing from a cloud off on the horizon, it really shouldn't smell like rotting meat outside.
No idea the source of the stink, maybe just a mini-inversion thing happening, but gack. It sometimes happens after it rains heavily, though that stink tends towards wet dog more than rotting meat. Gack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift.... There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."
OMG. Har.
Welcome back, Suela!

Er -- correct, Cindy. Condom failures (and really, you shouldn't rely on them completely anyway) are a risk both parties take. But 'oral-sex-with-condom' was a gift with conditions, as it wasn't intended to be used for conceptatory purpose.
