Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FTR, there is no waxing in my plans.

I think wanting seven children under 7 years old is a little nuts. And I'm looking at Brangelina when I say that, too.

I'm in the McJudgey Judgeson corner on this one too. Common sense and personal responsibility are not always bad things.

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

Knowing that I'd never go to any lengths to have just one kid, there's no way I could wrap my brain around anything that would make multiple births likely after already having six. My, oh, my.

My ER doctor yesterday woke me up by petting my hand. Which seemed perfectly reasonable at the time but I'm realising that if any of the other doctors had done it I might have started screaming. I wonder how he figured he could get away with it.

Nadal picks his butt more in the black shorts. But at least it's not as disturbing as Roddick and his junk all the time.

Not to pick on Perkins in particular because this seems to be a common sentiment... but this is pretty much what many many many people have to say about gay couples having children, single parent adoptions, etc. I don't get to say "how people build their own families is their own business" unless I mean it all the time.

And, again, she in all likelyhood was not TRYING to have octuplets, not TRYING to have 14 children under seven.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita, I won't tell you the results, but it ended up being the longest match in Australian Open history.

The manager in the next department over sits two aisles from me, yet I can hear her better than I can the person in the next cubicle. Her volume knob is stuck on "10" today, and it'd driving me crazy!! She keeps on shouting questions to her minions and they shout back at her, or she'll be on the phone and I can hear every other word very clearly. Again, she's more than forty feet from me, and there are multiple cubicle walls in between us.

Grrrrr.

I think there is a huge difference between expanding the traditional definition of family and this situation, and equating the two really does a disservice to the first one .

I don't get to say "how people build their own families is their own business" unless I mean it all the time.

I do see your point, but again, I think there is a very real difference here.

Because someone tried to have a seventh child?
