Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Allibelle: Oh, hello, was this a parade? Nice to meet you. My name's Rain.

I realize I'm a busy girl tonight-- but I've been away and y'alls funny

Trudy Booth: The thought of contractions freaks. me. out.

Deena: Why, Trudy?

It's, at this early stage, much like PMS cramping, but rhythmic. At present they're mostly focused on the front, which is part of why I think they'll go away. Real contractions, for me, usually start at my lower back and ripple forward.

Heather Alayne: Ok. It may be time for bed. For a good half a minute I was wondering why words like, don't, can't, I'd, and haven't, were freaking Trudy out.

Deena: Funny Heather. Maybe it's the scotch?

Heather Alayne: I've only had a glass and a half. Sorry Trudy, I have only had a glass and a half.

Apparently, labor stories can be funny, when Buffistas tell them:

Cindy: Deena can probably back me up here, by the time the baby is ready to come, you really don't care if Koko the gorilla delivers it.

Deena: When Nick was born and I finally figured out the whole pushing thing, they still had separate labor/delivery rooms, so I finally figure it out and start pushing in the labor room. The doctor tells me to quit while they move me to delivery. I tell him, "I CAN'T!" and he says, "Okay, never mind." and then he runs BACKWARDS, in front of the gurney, between my legs, hands out like he's about to receive a football pass, from the labor room to the delivery room.
Nick was born about 5 minutes later. I was expecting a girl. We argued for at least 5 minutes about the baby's sex until the nurse pointed out that if he showed me I'd stop arguing about it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heather Alayne:

I often think it would be nice to have billytea around up at the bar. When someone's going on and on about some stupid shit you don't care about, he would go, "Here's the interesting thing about stupid shit..."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nilly:

Labor stories look scarier in written English than they seem to be in spoken Hebrew. At least to me.

We are very efficient with our summers here in Scotland, we can usually fit the whole thing into a single afternoon in July.

If I only had a brain...

Billytea: Apparently there's been a survey done which found that women who were college educated were more likely to enjoy oral sex (both giving and receiving) than were high school dropouts. I can't help but feel there's a great pro-education marketing campaign in there somewhere.

Phill: Here at Yale, we don't prepare you for a blow JOB, but rather an entire blow career.

I can take them to the hospital and have lots and lots of lovely reading material to distract me during labor.

So long as you remember to send feedback as soon as the baby's asleep.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

billytea strikes again, in Natter 7.

Consuela: Why isn't "hermit" an acceptable lifestyle choice?

billytea: Does it matter? It's not like they're going to worry about the neighbours shunning them.
