Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy, that's the best kind of doomed!

I just got back from visiting a preschool. I liked it. We can even afford it. It's all free-play learning and they don't even require potty training for 3 year olds. It appeals to my inner hippie.

Now to fill out the registration and hope there's a spot for Owen.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If you were writing to someone with a disability to tell them you had two sick people at home, would you use the word "cripples"? I'm not upset or angry, it just struck me as an odd word choice to use.

I agree it's an odd word choice. I suppose the bright side, if you can call it that, is that your friend doesn't equate you and your disability with "cripple." If s/he did, I'm certain s/he wouldn't have used that word.

How old is the person using the word?

Very good point.

Preschool~ma, Cashmere.

Our wings are not tired.

Awww, Teppy is soooo doomed. That is just so sweet.

Like I said, selfish = me. Especially when it comes to sleep and/or not having to clean up bodily fluids.

Snuggles with AmyLiz.

Looks sternly at ChiKat... take care of yourself missy. You won't do those students any good if you are in the hospital.

Yay for a good preschool! It makes such a difference.

I have to do something about Bobby's hearing again. I hope it is just wax or something. He was hearing delayed and speech delayed. Now years later he flunked his hearing tests, twice and they sent a note home. I'll do the drops and flushing thing this weekend and send him for the big hearing test next week. justwaxjustwaxjustwax

That sounds perfect! Damn my not-living-in-Ohio-ness.

Sara is all of a sudden demanding to go to preschool. Every. Day. She wants to "paint pictures and have snack and run around and paint pictures and..." So cute. I've been telling her she has to use the potty all the time before she can go, and she's much more motivated now.

Also, the promise of "big girl underwear" is pretty tempting, I think,

Laura, does he have sinus issues -- I ask, because my ears have been all screwed up, since I got sick.

Not to me, unless I'm being promised I can take it off.

Tch, seeing conversations about Owen and Sara as potential pre-schoolers is making me have to accept how much time has passed. I hate when that happens.
