'Lessons'
[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.
It's worst when I wake. Most of the day, the tension and stiffness is worse than the pain.
That bites. Especially when it something the doctor can't give you a magic, one-time pill for. Does a hot shower help? Or heat/ice on the back of your neck?
You could also try getting one of those special pillows for your bed, with the indent in it, to help correct the position of your neck while you're asleep. I had one for a while and it was great.
and Robert was afraid it would get shortened to Chris. (He's a bit sensitive since people will spasmodically call him Bob or even Bert.)
Yeah, what is it with people assuming a nickname? If I wanted people to call me Sue, I'd introduce myself that way.
Also off to an RWA meeting as soon as I've showered and dressed.
I have a question for the Parents Support Group: Mal's howling his little heart out in his crib right now. He is getting to the age where he could be spoiled (he can demand to be picked up, and fuss if he isn't), but I still want to comfort him.
I've tried everything I can think of, and he's having none of it. Putting him in the Baby Trekker and walking came closest, but there's only so many hours I can do that.
So he's in the crib while I eat dinner. I'm feeling awful, but I just can't think what else to do. Advice?

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate it when people just automatically cut my name to Val. My friends and family call me Val, but if I'm introduced to you as Valerie, then you call me Valerie. It was a big deal when I waitressed. People did it ALL the time.
t tries to remember how old Mal is
Could it be teething? That was (and still is) the major cause for unexplained screaming, grumpiness, and unwillingness to sleep in our otherwise sunny-natured daughter.
But don't feel bad about taking time to eat. When you're done, you can go comfort him. Singing or dancing often works when nothing else does with Annabel.

I feel the same way, only in reverse. If I introduce myself as Steph (which I do 99% of the time), then DON'T call me Stephanie. I don't like my full name, which is why I use only the first syllable.
I'm unusual in that I prefer to be called Jess, but feel strange introducing myself as anything but Jessica. t /part of the problem
Now I'm earwormed with the Monkees Valleri...
Valleri. I love my Valleri.
There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good. And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri. I love my Valleri.

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door. But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri. I love my Valleri.

What Susan said. Sometimes you need to pee, or eat, or jump in the shower. If you're sure he just wants to be picked up and Be Part of the Action, and is fussing because he's not, then do your thing and go get him afterwards.
A lot of people ask me what my real name is short for.
Making up answers can be kind of fun.
