What a gorgeous family, Aims! Emeline is just precious.
Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
There is also the magic of cheese. My best method has been using one of those syringe-like pillers, which put the pill into the throat so the pet can't spit it out, plus when the cat bites, it's biting plastic and not you.
Thanks!!! She'll be 4 at the end of November. She's been writing letters to her grandparents in school this week. Her writing is pretty good for a less-than-four-year-old.
Ouchie, Vortex!
eh. Once they slice you open, it doesn't matter if you have three or thirty.

Not exactly. My ultrasounds (which, granted, were to measure my ovarian cyst) said I had one fibroid. When they opened me up, they found five additional small ones. My surgery ended up being about 3 times as long as they thought.
Aimee, lovely wedding pictures (and tell Emeline that if she insists on being either adorable or beautiful, people are going to take her picture).

ION, if/when the money comes through, I'm thinking of buying myself something like this. (We've set aside specific amounts for "Woohoo! We can finally buy stuff again):
The one with the leather. Only I can't tell if it compares to what my characters might've carried, which is my geeky goal, because so far Googling hasn't turned up any antique reproduction spyglasses/telescopes that are specific to year and design.
Susan, you might be tangentially interested - and I know there are fans of sharp pointy things on the board, although I can't remember all the names - I saw a Nova thing about samurai swords. It was a detailed explanation of the process of making one, filming Japanese craftsmen, everything from smelting the iron through the final sword.
There was also a section on a grand master swordsman; his daughter is also training. As an example of how good HE is, she fired a couple of arrows at him and he cut them in half while they were flying at him!
My step-dad took some pictures of his house and mine. Otter Lake pics here [link]
Lovely wedding pics - Em is quite the lovely little lady. I don't dare show the picture to DH because he will remind me that I didn't give him daughters to spoil and fuss over. (he would be so wrapped)
