All the ~ma you need meara.
Yay Suzi! Not only do you rock, but they know it!
Juliana, if they won't let you have the booze, have some chocolate and flowers.
Alas, my stabby pains in the temple were caused by caffeine. I miss it so.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

Herding cats for fun
Tonight I'm baking a cherry cake from my grandma Helen's recipe. I have her yellow Pyrex bowl deployed for the project. We'll have cake and a load of chicken from El Pollo Loco for MIL's 82nd Bday party here tomorrow. These things all make me happy.
Raptorgirl, well. She has lots of sweet to go with all the zazz. The girl is a handful but I do declare she makes up some good stuff, my dear Deena.

All of the possible calm, relaxed, fun~ma and dad~ma for you meara.
I have a hard time believing that one pill and one drink = coma risk. Night of immoderate partying with multiples of both, sure, I believe that could cause some damage. Note that I also believed during a dinner party way back when that half a glass of wine on top of a huge meal would be only a little bit naughty for someone in an advanced state of pregnancy. Fortunately the boy seems to have turned out OK. Clearly, however, I am an irresponsible drug abuser, hide the children, quick!KB and I believe as one on this. My best friend's OB let her have half a glass one wine during at least the last trimester. She looked so cute with a wineglass on her belly. And her three babies turned out just fine.
Pretty much every time I find myself doubled over with kidlet adoration, there's a whole lot of relief in there too. Kara would kill me ded, but lord, she's a delight to hear about. How magical.Unshocking, ita is me. I just talked with my nephew too. He's a delight but damn... Just damn.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Thanks for all the congrats. My boss is really great, she gives me independence and validation for the work I do. Unfortunately I don't get to see her often.
The OT thing is usually a non-issue, this month is beyond unusual. Typically, if I work 5 hours of overtime in a month it is a shock.
My concern about going salaried is more how I charge my time. As an hourly person, I can charge in 10 minute increments. As salaried, it is by the hour. Not a big deal? I can work on over 50 projects in a given day....how do I charge that? My boss said she would talk with my program manager (the guy whose projects I handle) and see what they can come up with.
I really want to thank everyone here for their support - this week has been a rollercoaster ride, with the big finish and everything. I've met some of you and others are the infamous "invisible internet friends", but each one of you is very special to me.
Ok, will take my sappy self off to work on homework now.

But the alcohol thing, at least as I understand it, is that a great deal of alcohol can cause problems, so people tend to err on the side of safety (er, or panic and misunderstanding) by saying No Liquor At All, even though most people agree that the occasional drink isn't going to do much. While with pills and alcohol, you're talking chemical interactions which really can do dreadful things.
Not that I've never disobeyed such a stricture myself. But I think the two situations aren't exactly analogous.

I have a hard time believing that one pill and one drink = coma risk.
People metabolize drugs in wildly different ways, and what's no big deal for one person can very well be coma material for another.
ETA that under no circumstances am I accusing anyone of being an irresponsible drug abuser.

Really, none? Even if I were C?
That was a joke. I'm too tired right now to be sure if it comes out that way. Tried to do homework, but aside from laughing at the Descartes question, I'm not here enough for it. I may (gasp!) go to bed.
Er, also C is someone in Jen's real life, not anybody here.

t runs crying off
Hey, I could get a glass of wine while I pout.
And, yes, people metabolize differently and that synergistic effect can be brutal and lethal. But there was a chance to flounce I'm flouncing.
Oh, I also made an icon cause I was bored. [link]

Okay, that was an amusing x-posty things with Emily. Also, as I am neither pregnant nor taking anxiety meds tonight, it was just fortuitious timing that I decided I wanted wine.

Mmm. Wine. Me too.
