I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe someone should change his diaper.

Well, shit. Here I've been running with scissors for free all these years.

Well sure, but you can still be on the scissor running Olympic team.

And we'll all donate red blood cells so you can triumph!

Actually? Most of the time the view I have of him is what I'm looking at right now: his legs below a sea of wires and computer monitors.

Though he is entertaining many other times.

Punishingly Intricate

I have my Vampire People EW today!!!

It's not a review but a sidebar story about the book (in the Books section) under the heading Ultimate Fandom. And it mentions here. As in "In March 2004, Beatrice witnessed 'the greatest random act of PayPal,' when Buffistas.org regulars raised $3,000 to bring an Israeli fan to the U.S. for a five-city tour."

hee!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Squeak!

Glad I changed my name long, long ago.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

no review?

So, I haven't changed my name here, but I have changed my life. Oops.

paperdol=the bestest babysitter ever.

There's almost no upside to Grace getting a trache (imagine toddler!Noah and toddler!Grace and anything that he might try to shove into her trache.... shudder) except now the tape is off and we can see her whole face.

The hospital won't allow me to get a DNR for her. Legal or not?

I was going to say something earlier about how we had to wake Ellie up when she was very small to feed her, but then I remembered that Noah is a big boy now!

He is. But in terms of adjusted age, he's only 3 weeks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Spot the phishing expeditions.

What does the sidebar say? Wanna know!

Hmm. I can see there might be ethical grey area, and everything I know about medical law I learnt from ER and the internet, but it seems you ought to be able to do something of the kind.
