Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So, Maya's doing the LOST party thing again next year. Weird thing? I already am getting phone calls about it, one of which was someone who told me that I could not allow someone she didn't like to purchase a ticket.

I was just reading through LJs and caught a bit of the controversy, but I still don't know what the deal is.

It just seems such an odd thing to do.

Oh, msbelle, I'm supposed to remind you to not knit with chenille, since we're passing around reminders.

Hey, what are good new-mom gifts, if one doesn't know if the couple's registered?

I've phrased this badly. I don't want the kind of gifts one would register for, because I have no way of knowing if she already has them or not. And I may just go with a gift certificate, or ask about a registry, but I was wondering if people had unusual-type suggestions.

Lotions and nice bath/shower things.

do you want the gift to be for the baby or the mom?

what are good new-mom gifts

Depending on the baby/family, I often like to give a token gift to the little bugger (bibs, towels, etc.) and then a generous g.c. to a take-out restaurant for the parents.
