Maybe it's the happy ending. By which I don't mean porn. Who has two thumbs and knows a million stupid "experts"? This girl. Although sometimes, among movement people I know, I'm concerned that leads to a major anti-intellectual bias.(Admittedly, because I'm vain as fuck about how smart I am...maybe I can have it called "Olbermann Syndrome" and classified as yet another secondary condition. Much more fun than the dyscalculia though.) And, honestly, as an editor, I fuckin' hate reading epicly misspelled, written on one line "outsider art" in the name of getting some wacko's "truth". If that makes me an elitist, sign me up. If you think I'm good enough, that is.

[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
IOBabyNews, Dylan's been giving all of his toys baby brothers lately even though we (a) don't know the sex yet and (b) haven't said a word to him about there even being a new baby. (We're waiting until the anatomy sono, which is this afternoon.) I wonder if he knows something's up.

That's adorable. Hopefully he won't be too disappointed if you find out you're having a girl. Best wishes with the appointment.
I'm finally getting myself fitted for new leg braces tomorrow. I've been putting it off for two long, and my legs have been so swollen lately that the current ones are painful to wear.

Gender isn't his strong suit - I doubt he'd fully understand the difference. (Today he told me I didn't like to chew gum because I'm a woman, after a conversation with DH in which the intended distinction was kid vs grown-up but got a little lost in translation.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hopefully he won't be too disappointed that you aren't having a grown-up.

First, congrats, Jessica! - I think I missed your announcement while being away on test season.
And second, I'm back, and now I'm in a dilemma. While clearly there's a disagreement going on here, I'm OK with leave it at that. I recognize that the root of the problem is in my wording, and I think that if I write a new post with my full view of the subject(s), it might be clearer (not necessarily more convincing - but more clear). But since we've reached a certain... pause? Equilibrium? (well, I know I'm in minority here, just can't find a better word), I don't know if it's worth to reopen the subject with more opinions, since I see it's a touchy issue. And it's OK.
But if anyone's still upset and/or hurt by my recent posts, I'd like to have the chance of explaining myself (not even here - emails are OK, too) and my views.
Signed,
Not a baby/mother hater, really

I can only speak for myself, Shir (OOH SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) but nothing anyone's said so far has been upsetting to me.
As for:
I don't know if it's worth to reopen the subject with more opinions
...have you MET us? Reopening subjects with more opinions is practically the Buffista mission statement.
