I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Amy, I have a friend who is a lawyer in upstate NY who would say that he could finally go on vacations w/o the kids when they were 18 and have it not be child abandonment, but I don't know if that was seriously reflective of the law.

Because books.

Yeah, I think my best bet is to call someone tomorrow. There's a social worker we spoke to last year, so.

Thanks, guys.

I'm sorry about the brouhaha, msbelle. I hope you can keep weathering these storms and it will get easier.

Thanks, Vortex. I'm not sure I really want to talk about it specifically.

oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you should share anything private. I just meant whether it was for child support obligations, sex, etc. didn't meant to pry!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Looks like it's 21, Amy. [link] Unless things have changed recently. Good luck....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

glad you got it Cashmere. I recently found several pair of navy blue socks and small sized white undershirts if you can use them.

No, Vortex, it's fine! It is about our oldest kid. It's just ... I more don't want to write it all out and face it all right now, really. Thank you, though, really.

And thanks, Jesse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

On the C.L.: The Picture You Can't Stop Talking About: Meet "the Woman on p. 194":

Here's the deal: The picture wasn't of a celebrity. It wasn't of a supermodel. It was of a woman sitting in her underwear with a smile on her face and a belly that looks...wait for it...normal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Luckily, the only issue in my household is that my cat is having semi-regular hairballs. That's just because of the hot weather, right? And will be fixed my more rigorous brushing? (This is helped by the fact that my household is only my cat and myself....)

That woman is a size 12 or 14? That photo is totally ensmallening, belly rolls or not.
