[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.
Tee Hee! One case of homebrew, one case of beer exchanged for money at the beer store. Damn, my husband makes REALLY GOOD BEER.
Oh!
t makes many high pitched inarticulate noises of happiness and joy for GC and her DF
Is good to be back! OK, I have to go to bed now that I have caught up with Bitches and LJ.
Hopefully will have time to interact more tomorrow.
Auntie has her evil laugh going right now: [link]
So, in the unexpected news file, I got an email. Bec's eight months' pregnant. Not sure how to react to that. (Happy for her, obviously.)
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
Worth repeating.Wow, it really is. It sounds similar to the last time I was on Deer Isle (one of my dad's friends grew up there and owns a cute little cabin on the bay). Books, bed, beer. Mmm, yeah.
BT, you have every right to feel a bit weird about it, I think. I know I would. You can be happy for her and still not quite know what else you're feeling.
I've heard of Deer Isle, Maine! It's one of the two towns featured in Ken Burns Civil War miniseries as an example of how the war affected hometowns across both sides of the conflict.
That's where Nora was!
(I hope that's okay to have said, Nora)
Ah, Billytea, I am happy for her, sad for you, sad for what might have been? If that makes any sense.
It makes perfect sense, at least in the "what I couldn't quite figure out how to say" sense.
eta: BT, I'm also insanely happy for the life you have now. But that doesn't preclude ambivalence.
bt, Kristin is wise here (wise often and in various other places as well, of course):

And this is a good safe place to feel you don't quite know what.
And now I must take Matilda away to get her ready for bed. She spent the last two hours tearing around all over the place and now she's sagging in my lap and about to drop her mango lassi (added to her love list: mango lassi and paneer; the saag, even very mild, was a little spicy for her).

Yes, this.
Argh. On another board, people are talking about the new recommendations for cholesterol drugs for kids, and there have been 20 posts so far, and every post other than mine has been along the lines of "If parents would just quit being lazy and start feeding their kids decent food, the cholesterol problems would go away." Need to punch something.
