I'm sure David Bowie is a big fan of Scooby Doo.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Arthur Thomas Horatio W.
We have a Sebastian Horatio S. in our church who's a tad younger than Annabel. My comment on the birth announcement was, "It's as if they want him to grow up to be a character in one of my books!"
I actually think Arthur is a wonderful name, but I'm aware that my image of it doesn't match the stereotype that my poor offspring would have to deal with, so I'll keep it for fictional people instead of real live babies.

My best buddy from law school and his wife just had a baby girl today (10lbs! Not named Shazam, but Darcy.). The baby registry says "feel free to buy things [off the list] you like!" I know from experience (trying to purchase a wedding present) that this is a lie, but I don't like anything that's left on their list.
Such a dilemma.

What's a lie?

That we should feel free to purchase things we like -- these two are very particular.
I guess we can feel free to purchase, but they'll feel free to discard it and tell you how they couldn't possibly find a place for it and gave it away.
Am I bitter about what happened to the very nice wedding present I gave them? Possibly.

Just get them a gift card to the place they are registered then?

I just picked something close to my price range off their list and sent it. They'll be in a new parent fog and I'm the only one who will care that I didn't make a more personal selection to show them I cared.

Baby gifts are rough for me. Do I get something uber practical, or do I get something that has meaning. I think my last baby present was a crocheted blanket. But I don't always have time to do that. Bah - I don't think I know anyone who is expecting and who would expect a gift from me.
Well, the work day is almost over. No letter but I did talk with boss-to-be this morning and he was going back and forth with HR over some stuff in it, so I know things are moving along. I think I'm going to work from home tomorrow...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Suzi, IME you rock at the baby gift getting. Every single person who's seen Matilda in the little A's cap you got her has swooned over it. Most of them are good and wroth that they can't find it in an adult size.
