Bwah!

So does she play it well?

Depends on when her last diaper change was.

Ewwwwwww

Why I gotta be a smartass and ask smartass questions that can only end in ewwwww?

Even when I made K-Bug cry. (Though to point fingers o'blame, I think it was less my comment than the fact that C and Suzi both jumped up and high-fived me.)

Likely true and I apologized to her as we walked to the car. To explain the point, she has done NOTHING to wrap her boyfriend around her little finger, and yet there he is, 6'3" of him. He absolutely dotes on her and gets called PW for it.

He really is a sweet boy and they are a good couple. Sunday is their one year anniversary.

Now, on to another topic. I am mucho impressed with Emeline's musical skills.

One year anniversary? Wow, that's amazingly cool.

they make all their progress internally, cognitively, until they're ready to do the whole damned thing at once.

Betsy, that actually makes sense, and, now that I think about it, I did very much the same thing, though not to an extreme. I still do it.

In your opinion, was Kara advanced? I know Julia seemed to know everything from birth, so the divide between her and Chris seemed that much wider. I didn't feel like I had a good yardstick to measure him by.

Yes. The girl started talking in sentences. Those e-mails that come from babycenter, that tell you what your child should be able to do at what age were always a month or more behind what she was doing. With Aidan, I had to stop reading them.

That's actually atypical of Apple. Did she go to an Apple store? Just because they are Apple, doesn't mean they can't employ some dunderheads.

Lo, these many days ago, (Wednesday), I snuck onto Bitches for a little read'n'post, and then haven't been back because work has been so very craxybusy. My friend's purchase and all communications have been with Apple via interbunny, phone and mail, because we have no such thing as an Apple store available without taking a plane or boat. I'm not sure of the details.

My understanding was that Apple was good about service, but this was enough to turn her from a diehard Apple person to swearing off anything they touch ever again. On the positive side, her boyfriend mentioned that banging the iPod hard might help temporarily, and it clearly wasn't going to void a non-existent warrantee, so she tried, and it seems to be working, at least for now.

Go, Katie Bee. I have purchased the materials for my Bitch blanket.

I'm so happy to hear about not!done others. I've been working hard on mine 3-4 hours most days, and 1 hour minimum, forEVER, and I don't think it will be done by the 31st, much less mailed in time to get to the recipient by then. Fortunately, said recipient has been notified and was kind and gracious about it. No surprise that a Bitch would be kind and gracious, but gratifying.

Oh, my God...the image resulting from the juxtaposition of "boyfriend" "Ipod" and "bang really hard"...I'm terrible.

Wasn't that a House clinic sub-plot?

I thought of that after I typed it, but, well, um, I thought it was just my dirty mind. Silly me.

Really? I saw a guy pass out while having sex once...ETA: On "House", not anywhere else.
