[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.

Punishingly Intricate

I love being with her - and it's been 14 years already.

Child brides!

One of the women actually said, "If I had it to do all over again, I never would have had kids...or gotten married!"

wow. that is so sad.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Gloomcookie, I feel sorry for people that are that miserable with their life choices. That really is an awful thing to say to someone getting ready to have kids.

I can honestly say that things haven't been perfect for us but that I wouldn't change a thing in my life. The good times have more than made up for the bad.

What she said.

Thanks! I really like them too. I look happy and healthy, which is kind of a nice thing to see, you know?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

He's gone.

He and I are having a "performance Evaluation" on Friday. At which point I'm going to tell him, "Your thoughts on what my priorities ought to be versus what my priorities are are not meshing. You either need to understand my family comes first and always will or we each need to find someone or something that will better suit our needs."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Child brides!

Loves on lisah. We met in college when we were both 24.

Gloomcookie, I feel sorry for people that are that miserable with their life choices.

I know, right??? I hope she never lets her kids hear her say that. How awful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

One of the women actually said, "If I had it to do all over again, I never would have had kids...or gotten married!"

How awful and terribly unprofessional to be saying in front of a patient.

vw, I forgot to say how super cute your nephew looks in those pictures and you look gorgeous.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm very happy that I had both my children. It's very stressful at times. (Very) And yet...there is this tremendous intimacy which you can only get to through parenting. The balance for me has been sort of like the worst moments in parenting are usually high levels of agita, but the best moments are the purest joy I've ever felt.

You get agita more than joy, but ultimately it's just agita which passes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I will second Joe's emotion that fighting Emeline into a pair of pants in the morning is washed away when she serenades us with "Part of Your World" on the way to daycare in the morning. I'm gonna try to video tape it tonight to post on YouTube cause it really is the sweetest thing. She has the crescendos and inflections DOWN.
