Kristin has changed her tag back to the tag she changed to last night before changing back to the tag she had before she changed.

P-C, you are lucky we love you, cause that sentence? Well, words should not be abused thusly.
Hec, with truer words never spoken:
The Pogues? We should always talk about the Pogues. Whenever we're not talking about the Pogues, it's probably a mistake.

This is slightly cheating, but it was on Buffista-owned property...
Cass in ALL ASSCAPS ALL THE TIME!!!!! THE POLITICS THREAD!!!!! (please don't ask)
I typed "shrift key" so many times I expected my post to slounge and look for the HoYay.
Aimée: My MIL is nuts. She sent me an email that basically said, "Joe couldn't suckle when he was born so they took an X-ray of his throat and that fixed it. His father had it, too. It's rare and the 2 doctors I asked have no idea what I'm talking about but tell your OB and your pediatrician that the magic x-ray machine fixes this thing I do not know what it's called."
amych: It explains a lot, really. The whole mutant powers thing, all of it.
The Splendiferous Sean K: Aimee, is she getting nuttier?
Aimée: Totally. Tomorrow, I'll get an email that Joe was really a girl when he was born but the magic MRI machine grew him a penis.
Cass: So is the magic MRI machine available for rental stuff?
Aimée: I'll find out. It might have clicked 3 times and gone back to Oz.
Cass: If it's only good for three times, well I have batteries that last longer.
Aimee, is she getting nuttier?
(That was me)
I might as well mention this here -- one thing that will keep babies from suckling correctly is a short tendon in the front of the tongue, which is often referred to as being tongue-tied. The correction for this is a teeny cut at the underside of the tongue, which tends to upset new parents a whole lot, and I've heard of doctors advised to take the baby out of the room to do it. It wouldn't surprise me if Joe-Mom had a pediatrician who told her he was taking Baby!Joe to "get X-rayed", made the little nick, waited a few minutes for the bleeding to stop, and brought little Suckling!Enabled!Baby!Joe back to her.
Or maybe she's just getting nuttier.

Heather Alayne in Natter, responding to a story of a pharmacist who refused to fill a prescription for birth control pills:
It would be interesting to see what would happen if everyone engaged in this kind of occupational activism.
"I'm sorry I can't bring you another cheesecake, I believe that our bodies are our temples and cheesecake is bad for you."
