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.

Lily, babe, you gotta eat! Poor thing!

Ellie, sweet thing...sorry you're having a rough day.

{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry. You so deserve a break.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was fortunate the Em never cared if it was bottle or boob, as long as it was food. But transitioning her to the sippy cup has been hard. She still takes the majority of her liquid by bottle, but we try to push the sippy cup as much as we can.

This post has no advice in it, I just wanted to share.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

She's barely a year, isn't she? The sippy cup can take a little while to master. I bet she'll have it by 15 months. And meanwhile there's nothing wrong with bottles. Franny didn't give up bottles until she was about, um, a year and a half or so.

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

I feel like finding a nice hole and never coming out (expect maybe to be with the kids).
Gud, I am so sorry. You deserve so much more calm and happiness than you have in your life currently.

Yep, just a couple weeks past. I'm sure she'll get it, too. And she does do well with them, just not a lot of quantity.

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

Em never cared if it was bottle or boob, as long as it was food.

Aw, so much like her Daddy...

Gud, sighhhh... I wish things could just be easy.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I just got an early Christmas present from my friend in prison, and it's perfect and I'm going back and forth between this huge grin on my face because it's perfect, and sobbing because I can't see him, or even call him to tell him it was perfect. Neither reaction is really appropriate for work.

Mandatory minimums suck. Plus, I still get mad at him because he was just so damned stupid.

On the other hand, loved the math discussion. It was one of the few here that I could actually understand, and I found the chart tremendously helpful in determining actual numbers.

What Deena said. 'Cause she has a tendency to say it so well.

{{{libkitty}}} Sounds hard. (Um, at least Yay Present! t /greedy inner child )

On the other hand, loved the math discussion. It was one of the few here that I could actually understand, and I found the chart tremendously helpful in determining actual numbers.

I loved that I could (just) grasp both the number-y explanations and the egg-crates. Yet another demo of my almost-perfectly-divided-between-left-and-right-brain at work.

Deena, how is the smoking cessation plan going? Or have we not started yet?
