Spike/Harm ,'Help'
[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.
Sorry you guys are so chilled though. It is certainly wacky weather all around.
I am wavering between second wind and really tired. It's ... odd. Can't tell if I am about to write a brazillion words or fall asleep on the couch. Or something inbetween.
You need a fragging.
Aw, I bet you say that to all the boys.
Hi Fay!
hi everyone. i rolled over in my sleep and subluxed my shoulder. stupid shoulder. waiting for advil to kick in so i can get back to sleep.
Hey Sean!
Hey, Hil - go you with the WeightWatchers thing, btw! Are you going to meetings or doing it online?
Poor Hil! I hope you got back to sleep.
I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and considered getting up. I thought, "Oh, I'll try to get another half hour in" and woke up 20 minutes ago. A little sleeping in for vw.

hey fay! i'm doing it online, not meetings. (maybe it's just bad memories of the ww meetings from when i was a kid and teenager, but i'm more comfortable with online.) and i just weighed myself and i've lost 3 pounds since monday, but that's all just weight i gained quickly over the holidays, so i figured at least the first 5 pounds or so would come off pretty quickly, too.
I had a strange dream last night, no doubt brought on by the parenting discussion yesterday. I dreamt a kid was hitting me with a big stick. I asked the mother if I could take it away from him, and she said, "No, we don't believe in taking anything away from our child." Then the alarm went off. Weird.
Oy sj. I think I've met that parent. Frightening!!!
I know I had odd dreams last night, but I can't even remember general details. I just recall being happy when my alarm woke me up.
ita, I figured out what I was trying to say, yesterday (I had some family issues, and couldn't really concentrate on the conversation).
When I read Hec's original comment (which has since been changed, but which I quoted back, early on) and the distinction he was trying to make, what struck me was his idea that although selfishness* is a great reason to choose not to be a parent, starting out selfish* does not necessarily mean a person is going to end up being a bad parent. That's what I read as the point of his original statement, and what I'd been thinking, when I read the posts you put up, prior to his. I wasn't trying to say a baby will make a person a good parent or a good person.
The "*" is to denote I would have described desires/preferences/habits with a different term than 'selfish' if I'd been the one to start the conversation.

Freud would have a field day, huh, sj? And sadly, like Suzi, I've met that parent.
