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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Then, on friday, it's the hopefully-gender-find-out ultrasound.

Squee! My baby spoilers are on Thursday.

I don't really have a gender preference, but growing up in a family where the 3 oldest are all girls, having my first be a boy would just be weird. Baby boys are what you have when you already have enough girls!

Unrelatedly, why is Gilmore Girls sucking? The only storyline I like right now is Lane and Zach, and her GIANT FAKE PREGNANCY BELLY is really interfering with my ability to pay attention to it.

I had no pie, but I did have a brownie with ice cream on top. I shall declare it a successful Pie Day celebration.

Awesome! We'll have a spoilerfest! I'm so excited for you and E. Lotsa babies for neat people is always fun. And I think this year is definitely providing that.

having my first be a boy would just be weird.

You probably already know this, but they can pee up! Heh.

Laughed myself hysterical that the first time brother changed the neph's diaper (it was something like the third, with nurses responsible for the first two) he got peed on. Even better was the fact I witnessed it! You'd think, but no.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I totally agree, Jess. Her pregnancy belly is way too perfectly round -- it's like they just stuck an exercise ball under her shirt or something .

Oh yes -- hence the invention of the pee pee teepee.

I've always found that invention hysterical. Mainly because brother was the one who insisted it was unneeded, because he'd know, you know? And me, whose only kids are nannied kids, was like um, well, heheheheh.

Yes, I love to mock my brother.

A girl would be a whole new batch of mocking!
