Wow, Jesse! I like the name...
Man, it sometimes hits me that birthing babies is now a regular event in my circles of friends. And how that's..well, expected at this age, but gee, I'm that age!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I feel good that I have a little gift all ready for when they are ready for visitors! Although I already know that his family was planning on arriving en masse ASAP, which was not cool with her, so I'm sure it'll be a couple/three weeks, if not more.
Jesse, you'll have to check with her, of course, but it has been my experience that even with the influx of slightly-unwanted visitors, sometimes especially!, a welcome visitor is really really welcome. Even more so if you are the no-demands-does-stuff visitor (even if it is just hold the baby so they can sleep.)
All you teachers need to do what my parents did: make your kids grade papers for you! Of course, this only worked because for mom, she was teaching first or second grade when I was in my teens.Yeah, doesn't work so well for essays, sadly.

the cats grade the essays! they always sleep on the A papers

Regardless of the vote I cast tomorrow (counting out those who've dropped out because I really liked Richardson though I doubted his chances and figured to toss my vote for principle) I think it might make me cry, because they are options I honestly & cynically never thought I'd have in my lifetime (at least, not since I was a wee idealistic thing cocooned in a nice dippy liberal environ.) And that's fucking sad. I'm glad my cynicism has been denied. And I hope it continues to be.
I like this system.

I'm not even sure if you mean the denial of sarameg's cynicism or cats puking on papers, but somehow I like it either way.
A friend of mine has a George Bush cat toy, which the cat loves to chew on and bat around....
