From Billy Boyd's website:

Beautiful Bouncing
Billy and Ali are delighted to announce the birth of their son, Jack William Boyd. Jack was born on the 26th April and weighed in at very healthy 6lbs 10oz. Both mother and child are doing very, very well and Billy is exceptionally proud of them both. Great happiness!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I call children "bunny" sometimes.

OMG I knew we were related! I call my cat "bunny" all the time and Flatmate thinks it is thoroughly weird.

I do not wear scent, although I have at times in the past. I was always a Lancome person, but more of a "what free samples did I get" rather than a loyalist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think there's a difference between calling people "honey" or "sweetie" as a term of endearment versus using it as a marker of status, if that makes any sense. "Honey, get me a cup of coffee" just smacks of male entitlement to me, but in the south, people use endearments. It happens.

There is still no excuse for "the little gal."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't wear scented anything because I work in a scent-free workplace. (As are most places in Halifax.)

Wow, really?

I don't wear any scent because I'm lazy and don't care that much.

oh absolutely. There's definitely a difference.

Oh, and What Dana Said about the "endearments" thing. Calling a stranger something stupid is entirely different from referring to a co-worker as "the little gal." I have heard people in the 21st century refer to their assistant as "my girl" or whatever, and it's appalling.

I only use endearments with people I know. I think.

I'm kinda too lazy for perfume. But I'm a complete sucker for those lavender fabric softener sheets, so I probably smell like that. And dove products. If I manage anything, it's probably some lavender scented handcream from Bath&Body. It's a sharp scent, not sweet at all.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I wear a perfume almost everyday, but do not use scented soaps. I alternate btw 3-4 scents. I mostly put lilac oil dabbed in my hair in the summer.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't wear scent because I am sensitive to most women's perfumes, and to about half of the men's colognes I've smelled. (The cheaper the scent, the worse the reaction.)

However, I do use lightly scented lotion and soap from St. Ives. They don't kick off the reaction (unlike Bath & Body Works, hoo-boy).

So, if one had a lot of pictures to submit to Venus, should one perhaps put a zip file up somewhere and submit the location for download to Venus?

Or just email them one or five at a time?
