Bitches vs. Natter: Sometimes I go into Natter because I'd rather discuss politics than babies. I discuss changes in laws in Natter, I discuss Hubby's health woes in Bitches. Natter is a general forum, Bitches is a hug.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

[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.

I'm getting the pig!
Ranting seems to have helped.
TCG needs to get a place with an elevator, sweetie! Sorry for the cranky, sj. Many, many {{{sj}}} hugs to you!
I should just cut out the middle man and vacuum the cats directly.
I've tried that with Ashton. Still have the scars. Good luck though!

Yes,he does or at least not a third floor apartment in an old building with very steep stairs. Thanks. Salad is made, pots and pans are ready for pasta making, all of the dirty dishes are out of the sink, and the table is set. Now I just have to figure out how to stop crying.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
For me, Bitches is like the group of friends you call immediately when anything amazing, horrible, amusing or mundane happens. As connie said, a hug.
Still have the scars.I get scars from them no matter. Might as well get something out of the deal.
((sj)) Cry your eyes out, wash your face, put on your favorite lipstick and feel better if you can sweetie.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Baby costs came in today: 11k+. Don't remember how much of that's covered, though. These breast barnacles are 'xpensive!
Ouch. But I think that sounds about right (all associated costs--epidural, hospital, OB and ped came in around 12K for us. We were responsible for 10% of that but we had stashed enough in our flexible spending account to cover our portion. I thank super-planny husband for that.) Also, BWAH! That's the best baby-related phrase I've ever heard.
Heh. Ours was, including Em's care, $29k. God Bless the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and surgery! All covered, thank Gods, otherwise, I'd still be there washing dishes.

Thanks, Cass. I am going to go jump in the shower now and see if I can wash away some of these aches and try to look pretty.

If you have a Kirby, they have a special attachment made expressly for vacuuming your pets. I never got one, but the concept sounded good. Practical application? Well, scarring does sound likely.
{{sj}} Feel better soon, hon.
Damn, babies have gotten expensive. Not that they haven't always been, but it just seems more so now. I think both mine ran in the vicinity of $5k each, since they were c-sections. But that was early '80s. Thank heavens the military covers everything or we couldn't have afforded them.

Bitches is also the place when I can post this:
There has been this muffled buzzing noise that has been bugging me off and on for at least the last hour. I got up several times and tried to figure out where it was coming from.
Couldn't identify it. Neighbors blowing leaves maybe? Power tools? Aliens transmiting vibrations into my brain?
Couldn't figure out in what direction to look since everytime I got near a different window or door, it faded.
We all know where this is going, right?
Yeah, it was coming from inside the house. To be more precise, a box under the bed.
I think I would prefer a gremlin that flickered lights or something. Leave my sex toys alone.

Maybe it was just lonely. Can't blame a poor gremlin for trying.
