Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Congrats on the auntyhood, Ouise! And best wishes to the parents.
Aw man, I watched the live coverage of the arrival and greetings, but the stills still got me choked up. I can't even imagine how the women must have felt when they saw Bill Clinton. The Al & Bill hug, damn. Well done boys.
Ouise! Congratulations! Tell Nora I said so too!!!!
Thanks for all the congratulations. I've emailed Nora with a link to the thread so she can read the congratulations herself.
I was counting up the knitter relatives, and this kid is going to be swamped in knits: mother, two aunts (including me!), grandmother, two great-aunts, and a great-grandmother!
Most of them are better at finishing projects than I am. On the bright side, I have at least two baby sweaters (originally intended for others, who have long since grown too big for them) that are mostly finished. Hurray?
oh, and also:
Happy birthday Fred!
Congratulations to you, too, Glamcookie!
Good plan Ouise. I have a baby afghan I started for my first baby that I plan to finish when I have a grandchild on the way.
Congratulations Nora and Kira!
(And, hey, was that a Megan E that just swooped in?)

Dude, it's COLD up there.

Makes sense to me!

Ok, fair point. In fact, sweaters have been necessary for FAR TOO MUCH of this summer. Hmph. At least August has been better (so far). t /grumble
Oh Dana, I want to go NOW!!!!
Also, internet dating is kind of mental. There's just SO MUCH stupid.
Can I just say something horribly arrogant? Okay. I will.
Please to explain why people who seem ridiculously stupid (and I mean, cannot spell, admit that they don't read, TYPE IN ASSCAPS, have absolutely NOTHING in common with me) why do are these the only people I attract? Why?
Seriously, do they not see the disconnect? I just need some plausible theories. Do they not see that there's a deep chasm between someone who writes books and works in aerospace and someone who works in mall security and writes to me in chatspeak and thinks that's acceptable english?
OK, I'm not that much into motorcycles, but go here [link] and click on the pictures of a very drool-worthy bike....
I go through this every time I do this, right?
Maybe I should just chronicle it on LJ and I can remind myself before I sign up again.
