If I'd liked beer more, I would have taken him up on it. I did drink now and again, though. I'm so glad Nick's sane and relatively normal.
edit to fix pronoun confusion.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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.

I knew a guy with FAS once. For a person with FAS he was fairly functional but he had a lot of issues with women, ie. calling his birth mother "that drunk bitch who ruined my life" and he said he heard voices sometimes. He liked me though, once he knew he could say "motherfucker" unto infinity and I wouldn't scream or run away. I have that effect on guys.

There are often alcohol related flamewars on pregnancy boards between US women and UK/European women. The US women are usually whole-hog teetotaling "YOU ARE DAMAGING YOUR BABY!!!" types, with the UK/Euro more, "You're so fucking uptight. Check what OUR government suggests as a reasonable amount. PS, STFU."
I have no idea why I'm sharing this, except to share the flame pain.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Jilli, best thoughts for you and Dread Beast.

Well, that probably says a lot about our(USA) attitudes about alcohol.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If I only had a brain...
I knew a FAS researcher when I was pregnant with my first. She could bend your ear, at length, about US women being scared out of their panties for no good reason. Women were calling her in hysterics saying (literally) I put Kahlua on my ice cream and I just found out I'm pregnant and should I abort OMG OMG.
When the real story, the true story, is that if you're a constant drinker, you can have a much healthier baby by reducing or elimiinating your drinking. Not "the damage is already done and you've fucked your kid's life" but "Stop drinking now, and the kid will be in better shape."
A drink of wine a week? Not even noticeable.
