Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't like the idea of Nora and Tom moving so far away, but if it makes the two of you happy, you should go for it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ION, Matilda is apparently all potty-trained at daycare and hardly at all potty trained at home. In short: we suck. We just have not been reinforcing it or making her conscious of doing it at home. But at daycare she's been dry for weeks.

I had the talk with Liv's preschool teacher today. We still have issues at home but she seems pretty much trained for everyone who isn't me.

Barb, our mail is WEIRD.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Barb, I have that recipe bookmarked. It looks like SERIOUS yum.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And tell me, how were the contents received? Abby's been dying to know that everyone loves their Groovy Girls.

Huge hit. She's sitting in the dollhouse now, surrounded by all the stuff. We'll take some pictures.

Many thanks to you and Abby. It was so thoughtful of her. You definitely spread some joy around.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have a really yummy caesar salad for dinner, which is also what I had for lunch, because I really need to go grocery shopping and have nothing else I can prepare quickly, and I don't feel like actually cooking.

Also, I now weigh less than I have since 1998.

My new officemates are very loud. Even with earplugs in, I can follow every word of their conversation. They've been here for less than a week, and I'm already having "Too many people!" issues.

“Not dead yet!”

Huge hit. She's sitting in the dollhouse now, surrounded by all the stuff. We'll take some pictures.

Oh excellent! We're looking forward to seeing any and all pics. Those dolls and their accessories are just the best-- they were so great for interactive play.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oof, that's no good, Hil. Is there somewhere else you can go work, if you're doing non-computery stuff? (I've been working in a faculty lounge, and it's usually mostly empty)

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

As he is able to turn his head while sitting, don't forget to test his hearing.

Oh, his hearing's fine. In Australia every baby gets a hearing test just a day or two after birth as long as the parents don't object (why would anyone object?) - I think it's quite awesome they can do this so young - and gets checked again when they get a check-up with the nurse. (We have a check-up today in fact, in a couple of hours.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh excellent! We're looking forward to seeing any and all pics.

Matilda loves her new dollies!
