oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

your cats did not seem impressed with the tree. I like that it sits on a fluffy white cloud.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I like it too! Perkins is not impressed, it's true.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Dear me. Now I want potato balls for breakfast. How on earth can I make that happen?

I'm scared of reading the orgasm during childbirth article. It might make me hit someone. I mean seriously, now it's not enough that a gal's supposed to feel guilty if she gets an epidural and so misses out on the "magic of childbirth"--real women find it arousing?!?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is there any word about ita?

And tommyrot: I emailed last week, and I think we've established that my email hates your email, so if you didn't get it let me know. (If you got it and you were, well, sick and stuff, no worries.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Insent, Strega.

“Not dead yet!”

Orgasms during childbirth?

Excuse the bad pun, but are you fucking kidding me?

I mean seriously, now it's not enough that a gal's supposed to feel guilty if she gets an epidural and so misses out on the "magic of childbirth"--real women find it arousing?!?

Serious word.

I mean, I swore I was going to try to get through childbirth without an epidural not because I wanted to experience the full beauty of childbirth or would feel less of a woman for doing so, but because I have an absolute terror of needles in my back. Tell you what, though, I was BEGGING for the freakin' epidural.

Frankly, the little bit of Demerol they pumped into my IV gave me more of happy than anyone touching ever could have. It was like "Baby, give me more of that, mmm hmmm, oh yeah."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I cannot name a time I wanted to be kissed and/or caressed less, and I've given birth three times now.

Only once for me, but yeah. I really can't emphasize how very much I did NOT want to be making out with anyone while I was in labor. Like, not even a little bit.

I spent most of labor #1 vomiting. Not exactly makeout time. Although at one point I did say to a very close and supportive husband, "Dude, your breath sucks!" He went and bought a toothbrush from the vending machine. Labor #2 was too fast for making out.

I avoided an eipdural because I wanted to reduce the risk of labor stalling and having a c-section for lack of progress, but if I'd - kid interruptus
