Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I was like Leif. It was because I was always so afraid I'd miss something.

Me too. So far with Annabel it's variable. Usually she'll play quietly in her crib and then drop off to sleep within half an hour of being put down at night, but maybe one night in every ten she makes a big fuss. And she fights the naps a bit more, but it's rarely a big deal--it's just that her pace picks up a bit, she gets noisy, and next thing you know it's amazingly quiet, you look over, and she's crashed.

Trust my rage

Can I hold on to this and use it as a Tagline?

Of course - tag away.

What I think is amazing is how kids will sleep through anything. Over the weekend we picked up friends from the airport and their 5 year old, who was asleep when they landed, stayed that way despite being picked up, carried to the car (in the rain), buckled into his car seat, etc., etc.

Leif's habit of climbing out of bed and playing sounds like what I did as a child (and thought I was getting away with it, too).

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

Thought I should share: yesterday, I bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy - extended version.

So, you'll be sharing that by mailing it to us when?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Our wings are not tired.

Finally skimmed the previous thread and found Annabel pictures! So pretty in her Easter dress.

Downside of boys is no Easter bonnets.

Always Anti-fascist!

I fought sleeping some as a child, and have trouble with it as an adult. Sadly, I no longer find life that interesting, in the main.
