Dear California People,
We don't care if your baseball games get rained out in March. We can't even find the world's smallest violin. Our hearts do not sweat for you, never mind bleed. So there.
Love,
The Rest of Us, Except for the Southerners

[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.

What is even happening?

Sister: "Sometimes god works in mysterious ways, mom."
Mom: "That's not god, Jenny. That's having unprotected sex."
LOL. And I sort of just had this conversation with my niece, who called to tell me she's pregnant. I said, after congratulations, "I didn't know you had got that fertility problem solved (she and her husband have been trying for 2 years)."
She said, "I didn't either. I thought I had the flu."

The status is NOT quo.
Cindy, if it makes you feel any better, I appear to have brought New England's cold, gray March with me this year.
Well except for today. Today I'm sitting on my patio in a t-shirt and capris and enjoying the smell of orange blossom from the tree next door.

(I'm allowed! 30 winters in New England earns me some cred, right?)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My annoyance of him doing so has abated with his horking them up on the dining room floor.Huh. This is just about when my annoyance increases. (See also: Puppycat bolted some of the canned food and puked. Again.)
It's a race day! ::does modified Cabbage Patch dance of Yay::

She said, "I didn't either. I thought I had the flu."Sis went to the emergency room cause of the puking, tiredness and all the night before. Turns out the alien body making her sick was sperm poisoning, not a virus.
"Didn't you notice the fact that you might have, I don't know, missed your period?"
"I hadn't thought about that."
Yep, we're thrilled she's passing those genes on for the next generation...

Every time I hear a story like that I am utterly baffled. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???
People who do not know they are breeding when they breed should not be.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Well, if you've been trying for two years with no results, and you have irregular cycles, pregnancy probably isn't going to be the first thing on your mind when you feel sick.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A woman I worked with is the exact case Jen is talking about. She is 41, had tried to conceive in the past with no success, and had no idea what was causing her lingering flu. She figured it out 8 weeks in and is thrilled.

My sister is regular like crazy though and she's got no idea at all how far along she is. And they are just a myriad of reasons why now is not the time for her to be having another baby... None of which matter now, I suppose since she *is* pregnant.

It's a race day! ::does modified Cabbage Patch dance of Yay::Damn. So much for unbridled joy. An Indy driver was killed in morning practice for the season opener today. It's a risky sport but you are never quite prepared for the tragedies when they occur. Rahal/Letterman withdrew their other two drivers but the rest will go racing.
