[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.

Thrive to spite them

Quick Parent Hive Mind question.

My brother was asking Mom for recommendations for parenting books. My brother and SIL don't have a lot of with kids especially babies.

Any suggestions for books that might be good for them?

Also at my SIL's last dr's appointment she was dialated 1.5cm. I think that's right.

Anyway nephew is coming soon!

Because books.

My favorite parenting book is Penelope Leach's Your Baby and Child. Covers birth to five, and she's completely no-nonsense and wonderful.

Mostly lurking...

I'm a whiner.

My mouth hurts, and I can't fall asleep. And I look gross. And feel gross.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I second Amy's rec. When Lillian was younger, especially, I called it "The Manual."

It's excellent.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Vortex, thank you for the reminder of the pretty, pretty people. The pics of John Barrowman in kilts makes me think he should film an enactment of this [link] folk song.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Never mind, we're 1000 away from a new thread....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're a whiner in love, vw bug. It'll wear off.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I just signed up for okcupid. I dread filling out the about me info.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I just signed up for okcupid. I dread filling out the about me info.

I don't know the okcupid site, but most of the dating sites I signed up to had some info to help you put together your profile. Could be useful to look it up.
