Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

And because it deserves a completely separate post:
Happy Birthday, Matilda!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, sj, I'm sorry about TCG's step-grandmother. All my leftover ~ma from J is going to her.
And hooray for everything going so well for J! Boston has some of the best people in the world for kids with heart problems.
Matilda's still a little under an hour away from being exactly two. We may at this moment two years ago just have been prepping for the move from the delivery room to an OR, but the minute-to-minute details are just a little hazy.
Relatedly, I've been looking at my cousin's Babies R Us registry for her first baby, due in January, and it's kind of adorably earnest and overprepared and clueless about the grubby reality of babies. She thinks she'll be able to use a nursing cover! She thinks she can register for floor mats and car seat organizers and it will keep her car from looking like a Lego shop and a cracker factory exploded in it! She thinks she'll have time to steam and re-sterilize all her bottles and nipples after every single use! Ah ha ha.

Thanks, JZ. I swear it feel like just yesterday that Matilda was born.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Copious amounts of ~ma going out to all Buffistas in need.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm sorry that I have been spamming the thread so much with mememe lately
Don't apologize. We all need to vent at length sometimes. It's just your turn. And you're holding up very well.
And best wishes for your stepgrandmother.

Is that the thing that you can drape over to be more modest nursing in public? Or is it something else?

That's it. The thing that some babies are fine with but lots of babies completely loathe and will flail and kick and holler at, drawing ten times more attention to the attempt at public nursing than quietly unbuttoning the top two blouse buttons and popping open the nursing bra ever would have.

I'm sorry that I have been spamming the thread so much with mememe latelypfft. It's called "Bitches" for multiple reasons. Friends are here to help with the woes, and celebrated the yays.
OK I should be off to work. Blah. Feel like crud. The sinuses are drained, but the cold is still saying "ooh energy! I'll take that from you, thankyouverymuch". Ugg.

Ah, I was going to say that my friend with a 4-month old has a super cute one that she uses all the time. But her baby is pretty chilled out. You just never know!
