True when new, but stops being true after a couple of months, at least in our case.
Huh. This I did not know. Once a baby's past the first four days or so of life, I know nothing about it.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Always Anti-fascist!
Fay, that was very disturbing.
And not in the usual heart-fluttering fashion, either.
WindSparrow,
You're probably right...I just have watched enough movies to make myself incredibly stupid, sometimes, and you know, picture myself almost running into some guy at the store(almost literally) and as it happens I see myself explaining the story to "our" friends. Or something equally over-optimistic. And I'm not sounding very Gifted right now, am I? Lie to me, someone, and tell me you had that delusion once!ETA: Or at least, maybe I get mad self-awareness points.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I remember once hearing a story about a Jewish man, in his late teens or early twenties, from the Soviet Union, who came to the US on one of those "Rescue Soviet Jewry" missions in the early eighties. He was very excited to learn about Judaism, since he hadn't been allowed to learn anything about it in the USSR. So he was studying with a rabbi, and the rabbi told him about brit milah, and the man immediately went and got a knife and circumcised himself.
This story was supposed to illustrate, "Soviet Jews are starving for Jewish education! They will do anything to regain their lost heritage! We must do anything we can to help them!" All it really illustrated to me was "Some people are kind of crazy."

A constant stream of changes?
I heard a newborn crying yesterday, and it sounded so weird! I know she used to sound like that, all strange and primal and demanding, but now she just sounds like someone young crying, and it's hard to remember what those early days are like.
As their digestive system grows and changes, things get... interesting. I think she's shifting to the breastfed pattern of not pooping every day, so when she does poop, it frightens and confuses her. I try to keep on top of these changes to anticipate her needs, but sometimes, they come out of nowhere.
It's like having my own little out of control experiment in the house, bless her.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Fay, the pretty boy with pronounced eyebrows was Gabriel in the tv series Witchblade, which I'm sure someone's made sure you've seen by now. In fact, I may go dig out my tapes this afternoon.
DH and I argued about circumcising the boys, both born in an Army hospital in Nurnberg. The hospital got really shirty pushing the procedure, and DH dug his heels in a bit, since he wasn't and didn't see the need. But we decided, mainly for hygienic and blending-in reasons, to have it done. It didn't seem to bother either of them unduly, nor were there problems with healing. Although one of them must have flinched because the clip wasn't symetrical.
A neighbor's five-year-old had to be re-circ'ed because of some problem or other. That was no fun.

This conversation is making me giggle inappropriately.
FWIW, of all the guys I've...um...known...I've only experienced one uncircumsized. I was about 20, and I am ashamed to admit that I thought he was deformed and was being really careful not to say anything that would make him feel self-conscious.
Boy did I feel dumb later.
Tells you something about the "norm" in my region, though.

They should make the uncircs wear a houndstooth instead?

How did last night go?!? Was it fantastic? I was so bummed I couldn't make it down.

Kristin, if I ignored a set-up like that you just wouldn't respect me.
Last night went REALLY well. Much better than I'd expected. The form is kinda tricky -- writing and rehearsing a show in a week and a half -- and I'd been a little aprehensive about how well we would pull that off on our first time out. If this is our base-line we're in for some good things.
