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

Our little boy had vaccinations today. It's a big one, three needles. He kicked his leg free on th first one and got scratched. Poor little man. He settled quickly after it was all done, but it was a lot more traumatic than his first few (for all of us - holding your screaming son down so a stranger can stab him multiple times does not leave one feeling like father of the year).

Aww, poor Ryan. I always hated having to watch my kids get vaccinated, too. But well worth it in the end.

Aims, so glad everything worked out satisfactorily. And, whoot, on the A!! Good job!

I can swing by Chicago to help celebrate! It's so nice having a job again, so I can afford things like...gas.

“Not dead yet!”

Aw poor Aims.

Poor wee Ryan.

Poor bt and Wallybee.

Not that it's any consolation, but I have to take my little girl for a shot in about an hour. It doesn't get much easier emotionally, although at least I don't have to hold her down anymore-- good thing since she's almost taller than I am.

And have I mentioned that Nate's officially taller than me now? *sob*

Trust my rage

If her lease is the same as mine, there isn't one - they are not allowed in Michigan. And landlords can't ding you for not cleaning at the end of the lease either.

I would still take pictures of the place to show its condition, but that's just my suspicious nature I suppose.

Trust my rage

ION all about me, this client called our paralegal yesterday and basically hinted that she was unhappy with how I treated her. She already has a reputation for being difficult and so I highly doubt anyone in the firm will take her side. (Basically, I had two hearings back to back and she's pissed that I didn't sit down in the courthouse and discuss in detail everything that had just happened and what they need to do next. I did however, put this all in an email two days later.) Anyway, she just sent me this email being all nice and talking about how we have things to discuss. @@ It's a firm of 5 people - does she really think we don't talk to each other?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Glad it worked out, Aimee.

Ever have that kind of day? The kind where you realize that you penciled in your brows with lip liner?

Our wings are not tired.

Cass. That's a great reason to go the route of the javachik!

Mostly lurking...

Ok. Random question that I knew the Bitches would be the best hivemind for.

Could you recommend a good Scotch? Well, ok, I should clarify that. I want it to be good but not the most expensive thing out there. I need to actually be able to afford to buy a bottle.

what's an affordable bottle to you? $40? $75? Less than that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oy. Decent blended? Single malt? Smokey or sweet and mild? I prefer glenlevit for single, dewar's is a decent blended, chivas for smokey blended and Laphroaig for smokey single.
