Aimee, I'm speechless. You want to borrow my MIL for awhile? I never have any idea how to talk to her, but she's perfect at all the grandma stuff.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I would say it bonds other people talking about how crazy you are, but...

This? Irrefutably true.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
"...loved the pictures. Emma is so beautiful and petite. How lucky that she got Joe's metabolism and will grow up instead of out. You and I will envy her lots! "
Good GRIEF. I'm beyond gobsmacked. I'm wanting to smack her gob. (a) You're a babe. (b) Unless things have changed quite drastically, Emma is a BABY. She does not look like a freakishly tall and skinny supermodel. Which is a good thing. (c) See a.

Now tagless for your comfort.
stupid question:
I want to secure the bookshelves in the basement tv room with furniture brackets. They need to be bolted to the walls. Can I drill and bolt them to concrete wall? Three of the four walls in this room aren't finished--just painted concrete.

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

Yes. You will need special bolts - they expand as you tighten them.

Aimee, I think possibly your MIL is my mother ... or at least they're sharing a brain (see cough drop story).
You have my deep and abiding sympathy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm wanting to smack her gob.
BWAH!

Or you know, you could just stop sending her pictures, letting her see Em (who is, indeed, lovely ... like her mother). Post pictures here - we'll all oooh and aaah and remind you how great you are.

I shall. She's walking in her walker now and pulling herself up. It's so cute - she looks like she's doing baby crunches.
