Amy, how about a clock? Mantle sized, plays something on the quarter hour?

she assumes that most pregnancies happen within the bounds of a committed monogamous relationship
Wow. This is very far removed from my experience at work. I would estimate that the father of the baby is present at *maybe* 25% of the deliveries.
ETA: Hey, AmyLiz, any news about your sis?

It lists some agencies. I think the one JZ is trying to find went out of business after Craigslist appeared and the market for rentals slowed down some.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've poked around that area! I bought some CDs from Half Price. That's why I want to live around that area because having all that within walking distance would make me happy.
I lived at Dwight and Shattuck, and some acquaintances of mine have lived a bit further down on Dwight, closer to MLK. As of about a year or so ago, that area was still pretty affordable. It's maybe a 5-8 minute walk or 3 minute bike ride from all the Shattuck Square goodness. If you can manage to not have craxy deadbeat landlords (or at least find landlords who are just mildly lazy, not landlords who have neglected the building into a hazard to life and limb), it is a completely awesome neighborhood.

Because books.
A clock is a good idea, Empress!

No, but I'm assuming my mom just sscrewed up -- I tried to call her earlier and she's clearly off gadding about somewhere.

But what could it be? I want something kind of unique and very of the era, but also something that hide letters, since that will play into the plot later on. A jewelry box seems logical, but also kind of expected, what with the somtimes-secret-compartment-having and all.
maybe a cameo with a small compartment in the back, Or a locket? You could hide one letter, I suppose, but not a bunch of them.

Jilli, I totally thought that when you said "very important tool" you were talking about a person. Made the rest of the post most unexpected.

Music box?

It needs to be big enough to hold at least half a dozen letters, though.

Yeah, for huge subsets of the population it's very far from the norm, but, really, you should see the shitstorm that flew on Amazon at her very, very mild assumption that not all birth partners are Husbands. If she'd dared to talk at any substantial length about solo parenting or same-sex parenting (and she did, a bit; it just wasn't the main focus), these people would've paid to ship somebody to England to crucify her upside-down as a warning to all the other mad bitches who hate Western civilization.
The humans, they are incomprehensible, and frequently disturbing.

A glove box. Or a box for collars.
Raq, yes, those games were named after Clovis. I've known the folks at CheapAss Games for years and years and years.
Still thinking about hiding under my desk. Very important tool (not a person, tho' that made me laugh, brenda) STILL NOT WORKING. ieeeee!
