Beverly, I'm so glad it was nothing.
My dad dumped while I was a passenger in order to avoid hitting a dog or something. I still have the scar to prove it, but it's mixed in with all the other ones the dog gave me by dragging me around.
Still, glad juliana is ok!
Billytea offers the best Deena birthday wish, so I second his Kara nefarious scheming tomorrow wish. Happy Birthday, Deena!
Tonight I am going out for First Friday. I'm looking forward to it, and hoping my weekend is more fun than this past week. Apparently Venus is retrograde and everyone's all emotional.
I didn't tell my mom when I got my period. She was very hurt when she found out from my sister (who had run out of supplies). Pretty glad I didn't get a plate, though.
What astounds me the most about the family, is that they have NO DEBT. None. No credit cards, no loans, nothing. They pay cash for everything. Isn't that amazing??
That is amazing. That may be how they amange to do it, though. Debt would kill them. Twice.
Meanwhile, their species is perpetuating itself pretty well....
Indeed. Mine isn't dying out, though, despite that we don't reproduce. Like vampires, we get our new ones from the other guys.
Couples who have a bazillion kids just because they love having kids baffle me.
Except I'm pretty sure this family is having kids because they're breeding an army for Jesus when the Rapture comes.
The quiverfull movement freaks me right the fuck out.
[edit:
They pay cash for everything. Isn't that amazing??
They also get a lot of free shit from being on TV all the time.]

Which proves that I need to be on tv all the time more.
They should do product endorsements. Like, for Pampers or something.
NOT Trojans, though. IJS.
One of my dad's cousin has about that many kids...big difference, though. They adopted all but three. They have such a heart for special needs kids. It breaks me. Amazing, giving, loving people.
One of my grandmothers was part of a family of 12. On the other hand, this was on a Midwestern farm 100ish years ago, when another baby + about 5 years meant more help on the farm.
My aunt's ex-husband was one of 16 or 17. His parents were pretty wack-a-loon. And they had ONE bathroom in the house! ONE! Although the kids were more spaced out then the 17 we've been discussing. I think the oldest was in his/her 20s and out of the house when the youngest was born.
My SiL is one of 8 girls and she says in the town they grew up in in NJ, Mendem?, their family was one of the smaller ones. This was in the 70s. the 1970s.
