It's okay. Thanks, Hec.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

I'll ask tomorrow, but a friend of mine may still have her copy of The Goat, she was the assistant sound designer on the taper production.

That would be awesome, ND. Thanks! If she doesn't have it, don't worry about it. But I would appreciate it.

Timelies! I should have filled that prescription for Sonata, because I could have tried sleeping in with it!
Worse, it's going to rain on and off all day, the way it did yesterday. Can I get my weekend refunded?

Mostly lurking...

Yes. As long as I still get to steal you for much of Saturday. It was so lovely to sit and be crafty and stuff.

That was so very pleasant!

What gift does a person who's just given birth want? She's my first friend to have a baby and thus I have no experience of this sort of thing. Any and all suggestions are very welcome as I don't want to look like a complete asshole when I visit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Plei wanted sushi. most mom's need more sleep. If the baby is well supplied with stuff ( first babies often are) something nice for mom is good. DVD's are good for things to do while feeding.
I'm sure I have other ideas, but right now - I am still in early stages of gronk

Swouncing
Skipping thousands of posts, the ending of a thread and the beginning of a new one, and actually (behold my surprise) have something to say:
Jars, my experience is only with Israeli moms, so I'm not sure how much it may apply, but anyway: if I buy baby clothes/toys/etc. I make sure it's from a chain store, and with the possibility of returning them and having them replaced, in case the baby already has plenty of that stuff/the size isn't right/the color is annoying to somebody and the like. If it's a close enough friend, I usually ask what they (the parents) want, if there's something they need and didn't think of buying or only discovered that they need. I try to include something for the mother as well - something to watch while feeding, for example (not books, though, unless specifically asked). Another thing is food - healthy nutritious food. If you're a good cook, something home-made is the best, IMHO, but of course anything will do. Usually I try to avoid the flowers/baloons/chocolates more obvious stuff, because I assume a million of people will be giving those, but that may be just me.
