That is a GREAT story, Vortex!

What Kristin said.

Oh a cake, erika. That's too funny. Sweet, and well meaning, but completely awful.

I almost told a certain someone that if she didn't feel well, she didn't need to go to school tomorrow, but then I remembered which certain someone I was dealing with and if she doesn't feel up for school, she will tell me loud and clear. I don't want her to look on it as a (or "the") curse, or an infirmity, so I'll just take things as they come, in the morning.

ita, I had a college friend who struggled with migraines and got some prescription that brought on her period which somehow helped with the migraines. I know you've probably been tested and analyzed from crown to sole, but your post just made me wonder about a hormonal thing with your poor, pretty head.

I think Buffistas will understand this when I say (and yeah, this is gooberish, fannish, and pathetic to the max) but it felt like the weirdest right of passage to me tonight, because (thanks to facebook) I found out about the certain female person in my house, and about Patrick Swayze's death at about the same second. My mother said, "Yeah, that means you're old." I said, "No. Today, I am a woman." What? It's a thing.

My dad said "if you need anything from THAT aisle, I'll buy it, but I need specifics. I need to know the name, how many, and the color of the box!"

There are still times I have to remember what to buy by color.

That story is hysterical (heh), Vortex. I don't remember hearing it before. Cool dude.

Your dad's awesome, Vortex.

David, Scott laughed out loud at your E story.

You can tell him that Emmett was extremely enthusiastic. To the point that he was shoving his junk in my face as I sat on the couch, and made a point of showing it. (Since he's blonde this involved a very special puppet show. "Look!")

Oh Vortex, that's awesome! I just remember pleading with my mother, "Don't tell Daddy. Don't tell Daddy." She already had (and was honest with me about that, so points to her) so it was a moot point.

Oldest boychild overheard certain female in my house, tonight and I was pretty sure of that, from the moment it happened (just based on our proximity) so I asked later, if he knew was was going on. He did. His father then promptly told him to keep the boys away from his sister. 50% of me was thinking, "Oh, yeah," while the other 50 was thinking, "Don't do that." But on the whole, yeah.

Laughing like a drain at Emmett.

Yeah, Cindy, if my mom's a flower child...R's mom? Took it up to 11.

Okay, so erika, you're much younger and have seen friends traumatized by this. Is buying Blume's Are You There, God... overkill? I haven't done it, yet, so any answer is cool (I need no reassurance).
