It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ and the Halloweenie are just fine. She's on the couch alternately reading Robin Hobb (who I got on Fay and Consuela's recommendation) and watching Colbert light saber against a green screen.

A week from tomorrow I take Emmett to his first day of school, then come back to lobby the doctor to take her off bedrest before I go insane.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

When my late father was in the ICU nurse/patien ratio varied from 1/5 (when all nurses showed up) to 1/10 (when nurses ran into personal emergencies).

I don't even know where to begin with how unacceptable a staffing ratio that is. I'm so sorry your dad didn't get the care he deserved.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

They wear well. You could save 'em for future kidlets, too.

It's kind of funny. Em is 21 months old, born in November. Mia is 6 months old, born in February, and Baby Girl Yet To Be Named will be born in January. Mia's mom and I are doing Round Robin with matrnity clothes, and then the 3 of us will do the same thing with baby clothes.

Which reminds me, I have to go through Em's closet and dresser and bins again. Bah. REALLY hate sorting her clothes, although it could be worse since she is so wee and doesn't grow out of things that quickly. She still wears mostly 12-18 months.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

JZ and the Halloweenie are just fine.

I mostly had them on my list as a preventative measure and for dealing with boredom. I figure more ~ma and punctuation rarely go amiss.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hec, did you get the stuff from Target?

Heh. No. See post earlier about IUD.

Eventually, there will be another Princess.

Hey. New board.

Take that P-C's mom!

That bill is huge, I do not understand.

I was going to go up to my classroom today. Instead, it is suddenly 5 p.m., and I haven't eaten anything today or moved from my couch since getting dressed.

On the plus side, I now have a mostly set up Class web page (really a blog and a web board, but it works), a draft for my Class FAQ to be distributed on the first day, and a grading policy (which the principal will need to approve, but still). I also have rough lesson plans for the first week, and a rough unit outline for the first month.

Time to stop being productive and feed myself before I pass out, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Lee, it came to my work address this morning. Hec's going to go pick it up tomorrow.

Ah! You might want to change that address in your registery.
