I think I know about full/half mourning from Little Women or some other Alcott book.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[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.

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

Good to see you around, vw!

I'm getting the pig!
If I hear you've stabbed anyone 12 times I shall be very cross.
But... -t is always a little cross. Get it? t? A little cross?
Eh. I really shouldn't post after drinking green beer. No good can come of it.
Glad the doctor visit went well and that your PCP is good people, vw. And if you should ever feel like leaving us, please be aware that you will need to work up a bunch of charts and graphs and a logical 8 gazillion word document explaining your reasons for doing so.
Yes. Daunting. And besides, your request to leave will likely be denied. Probably best just to humor us and stick around. Even when we worry about our lovely bug.
Happy Anniversary to Laura and Brendon!!!

Trust my rage
So, I just get to my computer after a very busy day and what a day I missed. vw, I'm so glad you are back home safe. I was worried as I was reading. i'm also thrilled to be part of a board where people actually call and check on each other. I should be used to it by now, but it's still cool.
I odn't think I"ve ever left Ellie in the car. Today, I let her sleep in there a while, with the window down, in the driveway, while I was 15 feet away planting flowers. I can't imagine *ever* leaving her in a city setting.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Anniversary, Laura!

ftr, vw, I've had little meltdowns that seep (or splat) in here and to my utter chagrin, have been caught. Yeah, it's embarrassing. But it's also been reassuring (though annoying to burst into tears at work!) to know there is a net of people who care about me. And frankly, your medical issues of late are NOTHING to be embarrassed about. They are serious and all the extra people keeping an eye out are kind important right now. It isn't under your control. When they seep (or splat) through, it just lets your net tighten up to help you through. Or get you to the ER, or hug the pets. Whatever it takes.
(forgive me if I step on toes. That aren't asleep.)

Your tag here.
Ugh, I just got the "you're smothering me" speech. What's so wrong with "you're pretty"?
::sigh:: It seems like most of my relationships start out this way. I really need to work on slowing down and feigning indifference at the same time being interested in her.
Women are strange beasties.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very cute, Nicole.

I would have named her Victoria. And called her Tori of course.
I've got a step-cousin with that name. Er, had. She now goes by Ma'ikwe. Yeah, think I would have stuck with the Tori, myself.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the happies people. Clearly we are old fuddy duddy married couple. He's already asleep and I'm catching up on line. We did go out to lunch! He was up at 5 and I was up at 6. I'm taping Doctor Who because I have little chance of staying awake.
A scary number of times I have seen infants in car seats in running cars while the parent runs into the 7-11 to pick up something. There's always a better plan than that. I ran around with the kids so much I didn't think much about getting them in and out of the car awake or asleep bunches of times a day. I did leave the boys asleep in the car when in my driveway.
