[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.

...but gay, right?

Nope. (And M, if you are such a Buffy fan that you are reading this, come talk to me and let me tell you how absolutely foamy Fay is!) I think his tour is up next summer; I'll tell him to bid on Bangkok.

If right handed, secure both of baby's ankles in left hand, wipe with right. If left handed, do the reverse.

(cue laughter tinged with hysteria here) This worked fine until he could crawl. Then all diaper changes happened with Mal on his belly playing in the sink...which actually was fine as I could get him cleaner. Once he could stand, he stood and stared into the mirror at the total hottie who was staring back. Also not really a problem.

Now most diaper changes happen on the run, with us trying to sheepdog him away from the nice rugs. I have no idea how people get cloth diapers onto toddlers. We have about 2.3 seconds to affix the diaper. I've even tried judo holds.

Compassionately intolerant

In my fave baby book, Baby Love by Maud Bryt, the author's nana recommends diaper changes in the sink when the bebe is wee enough to fit over your forearm. Drape baby with head at your elbow and bum at your hand...then tuck that bum right under the faucet flow. According to her, much faster and cleaner than using wipes. Plus, extra added bonus of no chemical application. Therefore, again according to her, less diaper rash.

I just love that imagery. But I'm guessing this technique only works for the first few months. Squirmy toddler over the forearm? Not happening.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

EVERYONE should corset. It's fun!

Boys too?

Wait, the guy from Rocky Horror wore a corset, right?

Many guys wear corsets, and not necessarily as drag/crossdressing, either.

And -- HOTT.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm trying to imagine Joe in a corset, and I just keep seeing stripey tights.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I look at my belly and realize I probably need a corset. Or at least a girdle.

This was the technique my midwife taught me, but even as a newborn the only sink Mal could fit into was the kitchen sink.

William Shatner, for example.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, this is a first - William Shatner used to encourage someone!
