Early ,'Objects In Space'
[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.
Crying babies don't scare me neither.Right! As long as they're not your own or you don't have them overnight, they're easy, because you can give them back.
Just a selfish thought, a lot of times, when my babies were little, I would have been eternally grateful if, when a neighbor was running to the store, she had said so, and asked if I needed her to pick up anything for me.
I want Nora to be my neighbor, dang it.
Nora, that sounds like a great basket of goodies! If these are the kind of people who are going to want to write you a thank-you note, you might want to include a pre-written one with your gift. I do it all the time for new parents -- I write the thank you, address it, put the stamp on and make a little "x" where they sign their names, so they don't have to waste precious baby time.
((Gud))
I'm very sleepy today. We had company last night, and the He of the couple snored all night long.

Ooh, good idea. Will keep that in mind.

Huh. I get the purpose, but I'm not sure I'd know what to think if I got something like that.
I want Nora to be my neighbor. I bet she'd bring me muffins because I'm sick. (I've had some kind of low-grade something for a while. Last night it decided to declare itself as a fever and sore throat. A fever makes me whiney and a little whimsical in the brainpan.)
Nora, that's a great gift. One of the most appreciated gifts I ever gave was to a newly married couple in a new apartment. I packed up Christmas for them -- a little tree, ornaments, lights, tea towels and other decorative stuff.
I thought my flat tire was bad last week, but at least I didn't have to deal with it in Greek.
I'm not sure I'd know what to think if I got something like that.
It's not something that I'd send in a birthday present for my grandmother, but friends of mine who are new parents seem to find it an amusing and thoughtful way to acknowledge their busy lives.

I'm sure it's all in the presentation.
Thank you, kind neighbor, for your [ ] thoughtful, [ ] considerate, [ ] unusual, [ ] cracktastic gift. (check/delete as appropriate)
We will always think of you as we [ ] munch on the lasagna, [ ] use the baby lotion, [ ] feed the iguana, [ ] hide the "child sized" hunting knives. (check/delete as appropriate)
[ ] Yours, [ ] Sincerely, [ ] We're keeping an eye on you, [ ] The restraining order is in the mail, (check/delete as appropriate)
Your neighbors.

It does make more sense in that context. I guess it just threw me for a moment.
