Lots of health-ma to your cousin, Cindy.
And...
Does this ever happen to anyone else, when posting--do you not want to put some stuff in posts about other stuff?
yes.
How great the vw had so much help today! You all are awesome.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
sj, thank you. Cute is the only thing that saves them sometimes.

All the time. Usually it's a tone thing. I don't like to put snark or humor in the same posts about serious stuff.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Does this ever happen to anyone else, when posting--do you not want to put some stuff in posts about other stuff?
Yeah. I also don't like posting some stuff right after some other kinds of stuff that someone else has posted... And I post so rarely, relatively, that I end up not saying half what I meant to.
Know what I hate? I hate when my friends/acquaintances throw a party with the ulterior motive of getting money/swag. Like, Saturday I'm invited to a party. Now I find that it's really a dedication ceremony for their new baby, and presents for baby and for parents are implicitly expected. And, it's an outdoor thing and it's going to rain like the devil. Now I wish I'd begged off. Damn. I'm just going to assume from now on that any party I get invited to, I'm expected to bring presents.
And, dammit, I'm flat broke right now. I don't have the spare $$ to go buying stuff for anyone who isn't me and starving. I don't want to put flowers and onesies on my overburdened credit card. Dammit.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Cashmere, how's your back feeling?
Not only did Steph not mind, she was wonderful about reassuring me that my child was not a little monster. I do sometimes worry about this stage and it makes me reluctant to take on the task of taking him out amongst the Humans. But if I don't, he'll never learn how to behave.
O is just exerting his 2-year-old-ness. He's still a total cutehead, especially when he's exclaiming "To impinity....and beyond!" He also does a completely random primal yell, which I took to doing right back at him. And at one point when he was yelling "Apple juice! Apple juice!" I yelled "Budweiser! Budweiser!" He looked a bit perplexed.
She was also a trooper and took care of Liv while I was chasing O around the zoo and wrestling him back into the stroller when he refused to hold my hand or follow me.
There was no trooper-ness about it; Liv is my new main squeeze. She is a total honeybunny and it was only sheer force of will that stopped me from keeping her when you left.

Christopher just says he's sounding his barbaric yawp. Primal is a good word here.
My back is actually very good at the moment. Had a nice, hot bath and DH did all the bath and bedtime stuff. Thanks!

A dedi-what now? Screw that.

Expected? Um, no. Tack-y.

Don't. If you are broke, this is a good excuse to not buy a gift.

Oh, I'd love to retract my RSVP, but she's still miffed at me for not going to her wedding, and I have to work with her. Dammit. Although entertaining, she's a very self-centered person, and now that she's had her first baby (got pregnant on the honeymoon, for heaven's sake), she's insufferable. Every word is about the baby (who, granted, is a sweetie) or what a sublime experience motherhood is, with the implication that being a mommy makes her better than us who ain't. I'm happy that her life is just what she wanted and her baby is cute, but damn. I spent over $100 on her baby shower, now I gotta bring MORE presents?
Sorry. Ranting. I'd be calmer if I weren't broke.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Skips 600 posts
Punctuation a-plenty to them as needs it - so sorry, perishing inevitability of no internet at home and kids all day at school.
One quick question to Juliana/them as knows - who is Corb?
Would I like them? I need more country music.
