Corwood, I was deeply disappointed not to find you in Bitches. Cause I would've said that it takes a brave man to object to hair talk in there. Or a familiarity with alternative lifestyles.(/Wirefiend bonding moment) But you are right...doesn't often venture out here.

I am with Frank on the weather (would be with him on the temperature if I had more than one pair of decent work pants), and JZ on msbelle's job.

I'd say let's lock msbelle's cow-orkers in a death cage match with the weather and see who came out alive, but that wouldn't help get her project done, sadly.

Oh, and I absolutely loved smonster's picture of you dancing with Em.

She was an excellent partner and tolerated me pretty well when I didn't have to compete with Emmett. On the ferry back from Alcatraz she showed a decided preference for being held by Emmett though.

He's right at the age for that, right?

He's definitetly that age and after he's had a root beer our living room rings out with a fusillade of soda burps from him and JZ's sympathetic preggo burps.

She is OBSESSED with boys Emmett's age. There's a brother of her classmate that always comes in to help drop his sister off and when he walks in the classroom, she stops what ever she's doing and stands there, with her fingers in her mouth, stares at him, and then smiles around her fingers. I watched her do it, coy little minx.

erika! Again, I'm with the F2F pictures, but I absolutely loved how you looked at the prom (oh, and the dress was nice, too).

Well, she probably figured out that you're already taken by the lovely pregnant lady, so she was being polite. Um, or something. How did Emmet take it?

A daughter of a friend, even when she was only a few months old, and more and more as she grew older, would respond completely different to boys than she would to girls, and it would be even more pronounced when the boys were around her age. There's a Yiddish word, "Kheindalakh", for just that sort of behavior she expressed towards boys. [Edit: Huh. Sort of x-post with Aimée]

our living room rings out

So there's a definite plus side, as far as he's concerned, to the pregnancy. Excellent. Does he know that babies don't only burp all the time, but are also expected to?

Breaking news: FDA approves vaccine to protect against virus that causes cervical cancer

Um. Yay.

(I think this was the vaccine that some on the religious right didn't want made available, as it would "send the wrong message"....)

trouble, I tell ya. As if we didn't already know that, though.

yes, it vaccinates against HPV, one of the most common STDs (though you can get it without sexual contact). Opponents argued that it would promote promiscuity if girls knew that they wouldn't get HPV.

Hi, Nilly. Yep, got some of my Jilli Wannabe stuff out of storage to see my tribe and such. After wandering through the desert and everything. Wait, some of that is a little familiar, huh? Yes, it's rare for me too to see a photo of me where I'm not
-blinking
-red-eyed
-trying to remember if it's the north or south exit I'll get picked up from, and/or tracking the time.
Most of those photos just show me enjoying...whatever it is.

Oh, Erika, my few forays into Bitches have left me with the indelible impression that it is Not A Place For Me.

Also, I didn't mean to object to the hair conversation. Just throwing in a little light digression.

It shows. Those are the pictures I love most - of people as they are, having a good time, not posing artificially to the camera.

Oh, and while I'm at it (and I'm sorry for having over half my posts here lately being F2F-pictures-this and F2F-pictures-that, but anyway) - Vortex? The color of that wrap thing you had for the prom was gorgeous on you. But even that simple t-shirt you wore on the evening before, perhaps? The light-blue one? That color looked amazing on you, too.

Hmm, y'all talk hair-styles, with long words and links and pictures and all that. I only manage to post "Pretty!".
