Kids in daycare get all the viruses in their first year in daycare; kids who stay home with just the family get all the viruses in their first year in either play-group or school.
That was my experience with Emmett. He was sick about once a month that first year.
Teppy, I don't know if JZ is around but she was calling you a cow-eyed pompous nosy bitch wasn't offended at all by your offering yesterday. You are dead to her. Don't sweat it.
Nora, you have my leave to go stab somebody with a pushpin until you feel better.

Hec, bite me thanks.
ION, I seriously *seriously* need a ball gag for chatty!co-worker or I might have to beat him to death with his own tongue after I rip it out of his mouth.
ooh!

Hec, do you and JZ ever get over to Berkeley? The kids and I were on Telegraph yesterday and wondered into a vintage shop that had me thinking of her.
Of course, I don't remember the name of the joint, but they did sell neon green wigs along with the nice assortment of vintage clothes.
I don't think we went through the cold a month thing. The boys went to work with me from about a week old so they had the germ exposure right away. We were in a retail store and countless people handled them. Their doctor said it wasn't going to hurt them.
I'm sorry Nora. It's not stupid if it's upsetting you. I find it is usually the stupid stuff that does set us off.
It's not stupid if it's upsetting you.
Oh, I don't know, in this case. But thank you.
The new issue of CBG, the one with the Red Sonja cover, has another column on manga written by me.
Was it here people were talking about wanting yogurt that wasn't overly sweet but didn't have artificial sweetener, either? Stonyfield Farm has one now: [link]
Moo.
MG, I lovelovelove Telegraph but don't get to go there often anymore. Anytime you and yours feel like hitting the girlie stores, feel free to call me!
Teppy, OBVIOUSLY the answer is Monkey. My brain is all sludgy and trivial lately and I'm having trouble bearing down on myself enough for sustained discussion. You're not the only Buffista to whom I owe a thoughtful response to some very wise and kind words. If I get enough shit cleared away from my desk over the next day or two, I'll buckle down and do it.
But, to sum up, Monkey (i.e., I kiss you up for your kind words -- but not the other Buffista who had the kind words, as it's not a Buffista who is so much into indiscriminate kissage).
Ai, Laura, how scary! Is the kid doing okay now?
JZ, have you tried any of the other crunchy colors? Herbatint, etc?
Plei, nope. Have as yet tried none of the others.

Silly girl -- you don't *owe* me a response! Not at all. I just wanted to be sure that I hadn't spouted off nonsensical, pompous, unwelcome, unhelpful crap.
