Empress, when WILL you come to Massachusetts?!?? However could we tempt you out here?
Well. Next year is the East Coast's turn for the F2F. Personally, I would LOVE it to be in Boston.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aimée, I will, as long as I get equal time with the rescuee, as that is one seriously cute baby despite his dubious parentage.
Not that I wouldn't also help you rescue an ugly baby with rotten parents; I just might not be available to babysit quite so often afterwards.
(Which is total bullshit, because I've babysat ugly babies before, and all that happens is that after an hour in their company I decide they are beautiful after all and that I was just too stupid to see it before.)
Also, vw, call me if you need distraction from your mood. I've got a month's worth of Savage Love columns under my desk I could read to you, or The Counterpane Fairy, or I could just make something up about the doggies with tiaras who rule the Land Of Perfect Health Care and Clean Kitchen Sinks and keep rambling until I hear you snicker.

I have tried to explain to Teacup guy 3 times now why the gas bill has to officially be in our name on the 15th when our agreement starts and not on the 20th like he wants to do.
Why's he resisting? It's five days.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
As a New Parent of a rambunctious child who sees the need to injure herself constantly, I get that kids sometimes get hurt, even under the best of supervision.
But a skull fracture from a fall from a highchair? I'm not smart about a lot of things, and I could be totally wrong, but that would have to be a hard fall onto something like...a boulder, right?

Because he doesn't want to have to call the gas company again. He is saying the gas is currently off, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to just let go of it for now, and if there is a problem later, he can deal with the fallout. I have enough stuff to deal with right now.

Just as long as you don't read her any Savage Love columns about doggies with tiaras...it might be counter-productive.

Excellent strategy! Sometimes you just gotta let the person who has more of an emotional stake in the issue deal with it and the consequences.

Because books.
But a skull fracture from a fall from a highchair?
Holy crap.
See, I always thought adult skulls were pretty hard, and therefore difficult to fracture, and that baby skulls were pretty *soft* and also difficult to fracture, so I'd love to know exactly how that poor thing's head got hurt.
I mean, after three kids, I know exactly how kids can get hurt accidentally, but a skull fracture?! I may still be reacting to the baby-on-lap pictures, too.
