This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

[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.

What is even happening?
My kids still get water with supper, and they're ten, seven, and six. Mostly this is because it became habit, and they now need the water, too. It worked out well, because a lot of kids won't drink water, but my kids are used so used to it, they get it on their own.
she'd make us egg nogs (sans the booze, of course) because they had a little bit more than just the milk to keep us going until lunch.Aside from saving milk 'til after meals, this--stealth calories--is the only way to try to address it, but it's still mostly something she's just going to outgrow on her own.
I always found it so odd they could squeeze in the milk after a meal, but not the other way around.

That's because you didn't know me when Ben was my first and only. I wish I'd known Cashmere and Plei (as parents, then), because they're both so relaxed. I knew a lot, and had a lot of experience with kids, but every new issue that arose with Ben felt like the end of the world, where certainly I would be revealed as the most unfit parent ever, and he would die of an infected hangnail I missed.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'd like to say that i hat fascism, racism, and predigest.
fascists and racists have their own hats, and they do not deserve any of mine. predigest I'm not so sure about - but, really, I don't think I like the idea of my hats being associated with stomach acid. YMMV.

(Aha! It's meant to say prejudice, isn't it? I honestly didn't know. Huh. Bad Fay! No Primary Teacher biscuit for you!)

Heh. I got the predigest, but that's because that's about Julia's spelling level, right now. Working out what she's written is eerily similar to working out what she was saying, when she was a toddler. It's largely in the vowel wounds.

Quick, get me a compress and some mercurium chromate! This A has sustained a premature insertion and it scraped all the skin off the left side!

Oh! I totally did not understand what "predigest" was getting at. Wow.
Um.
Wow.

I got "predigest" sadly because of a few people in my online class.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Seriously? PREJUDICE! Here I was thinking it was the most appauling spelling of pederasty. I'ma be over here in the dirty mind corner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
