Dammit. Now I want pie. Why does the conversation always come back to food and sex?!
rhetorical question, yes
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

DH: Pie day should be March 14! At 1:52 p.m.
But...but...March 14 IS Pi Day! Even the Germans celebrate it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just found Make The Commitment which is a Merck site that donates $1 to the Cancer Research Prevention and Foundation for every free bracelet kit you order. It's all about HPV awareness.
Okay, hauling vaguely migrainey ass off to krav. Hope this works out.

I just realized my brother's qualifying exams are tomorrow. Eep. I think it's basically a presentation of his dissertation proposal, plus some brain picking. I think he'll do just fine, but eep. Then, on friday, it's the hopefully-gender-find-out ultrasound. Big week for them! (My SIL tried to bribe her OB with cookies for an early ultrasound. He laughed.)
My brother's kinda hoping for another boy, because the idea of a girl scares him. Whatever! SIL really really wants a girl. Me? I'm just kinda thrilled I get another niecphew, but it's be neat for them to have one of each. Plus, endless hours of taunting my brother.

What is even happening?
I now want your brother to have a girl.

Heh. So you totally get it!
I think a lot of his fear is that he and D totally get each other and he sees himself in D and there's this fear that if it is a girl, that's going to be harder. Because girl=different! Which is total BS because growing up, me & dad were such the evil team of interests and plotting. J and dad have always had a harder time relating and they are so alike but neither can see it. At the same time, I'm probably more like my mom in some ways,yet ours was an easy relationship. It's all about personality and the thing is? Each kid has its own unique relationship with the parent.

Remind me to never, ever , ever buy a car from Donahoo Motors. Their ads are so fricking awful.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
When I leave work angry every night because the administrivia seems to be swallowing the science, it's really time to look for another job.

Aw, sweetie. I'm sorry. I'm glad you have their backs, but I'm sorry it's such a battle. See it everyday, think it is so stupid.

The status is NOT quo.
Allyson, so sorry about the evil job. ita, so sorry about the evil migraine. Kalshane, YAY new job.
I'm caught up in Natter! That made me smile. Also the fact that it's National Pie Day, which clearly means I should go to the Cocos down the street and have pie.
