Gives me hope for the future, it does.

It would probably be better if we'd breed like rabbits, though. Come on, people? Where are the gigantic broods?

Er, keeping in mind that I am exempt because mumblemumblemumble.

The Boy is not transgender; that is, he doesn't feel like he's in the wrong body, and he has no interest in reassignment surgery; he just likes pretty clothes and 5-inch heels.

And we know he’s not gay, since you’re gettin’ it regular ;)

He's not gay, but *I* am now....

And well, who doesn’t like pretty clothes and 5 inch heels (well, the heels on other people, ‘cause they make my feet hurt)

It just makes me laugh, because I come home from work and take OFF my heels and skirt and put on shorts and a t-shirt, and *he* comes home from work and takes off his pants and plain shirt and puts on a dress and heels.

Hivemind question:

A week ago today I tripped and fell while running on pavement and gave myself a nasty scrape and bruise on the edge of my kneecap. I've been putting neosporin on it and bandaging it during the day, then letting it air out at night. It doesn't look seriously infected, it's not warm to the touch, and it's changed from angry purple to more of a pink. But it still hurts off and on (and really really hurts if touched) and it's, um, oozing just a tiny bit. Is that normal? I think it's just that it's hard for a knee cut to scab over properly, what with it being in such a bendy place, but it still seems like it shouldn't be hurty and oozy after all this time.

You guys! I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow! Squee!

Did you win the Superbowl or something?

GC, when I'm feeling better, we should all go down together. You two have annual passes also, right?

Bug Girl has pubic lice in her mailbox. Be very cautious about reading this. Strong squick factor, but funny if you have high squick tolerance.

I think funny to older nerds like me. I suspect younger nerds have never encountered the device and will go WTF.

That's hilarious!

I feel like we were about ten seconds away from being in a very nerdy porno.

I would never, EVER want to give my child the impression that his/her core identity is unacceptable. If your *parents* don't accept who you are, starting at age 3, that's just about the ultimate negation.

Once again, I am immensely thankful that my parents, while by no means perfect, never once questioned my strange interests. "You want to go to the library and check out books about spells and charms so you can protect yourself from the monsters in the closet? Sure! You want to marry Dracula when you grow up? Well, if you really want to, fine."

I skimmed - someone had a question about Rozerem? It is a take-as-you-need med. I stopped using it because I was one of the unlucky "may cause or intensify depression" side-effect sufferers.

Alas, we do not. GF is not a "cast member," but rather a lowly contractor. We are going on free passes though that she got from others at work. Also we should go down! Always up for D'land.
