No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

Hey, whatever happened to that other 'Ffista who was in San Diego? Not Cass, the other one. What was her name? SagaNonsequitur or somesuch?

Good grief! We've gone from "After School Specials" to "Pre-School Specials"? Seems wrong.

What is the difference between cautioning against and invoking the mindset where toddlers and tweens are concerned?

How do you answer "Mommy, what's body dysmorphia?"

Oh, and while I was taking my neighbor to the farthest reached airport in the area this morning at 4:30am (may have contributed to my bad day), I heard on NPR that a study says tots and tweens aren't getting enough sleep, which contributes to obesity and diabetes.

I'm seeing a pattern here.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

On today's episode, Sunffleupagas was trying to crash diet/crash exercise because one of the other puppets told him he was "too big" to dance.

Oh, I am SO out of the loop. When did Snuffelupagus become visible to other Muppets?! Now how are kids supposed to learn that it's okay to talk to people that other people can't see? That was a formative childhood lesson for me, dammit.

That was, apparently, a while back. I remember being very sad when I heard that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

When did Snuffelupagus become visible to other Muppets?!

During the great child molestation scares of the Reagan era. Because they didn't want kids to feel that people wouldn't believe them if they told what they saw.

Hmmph. I'm going to be very grumpy about this for a long time.

I think I remember that...along with the McMartin school stuff in CA. Huh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Snuffleupagas became visible because TPTB equated Big Bird's Imaginary Friend with Children Being Molested Keeping it a Secret. I don't know.

People with knowledge of laws regarding medical records:

Is Emeline's old pediatrician allowed to withhold her records from me because of an unpaid balance on the account?

Again, hmmph.

Aimee I believe so, primarily because against all logic, your medical records are the property of the creating body, not YOU.
