I was so focused that I think I only swore once.
I love that this is your gold standard of focus.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[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.

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

When I broke my arm and they were x-raying and setting the bone, I actually yelled, "motherfucker" and bit one of the radiology techs on the shoulder. (Not hard enough to break the skin!) That was when they gave me morphine. I can't even imagine what I would say/do during labor.

Because books.
I'm not saying she wasn't sore, but I think adrenaline and other hormones were running pretty high at that moment, and she was feeling pretty good, all things considered.
God, I remember that with Ben. And then about four hours later, craaaaaaash.
I was so focused during his L&D, I actually didn't talk. The nurses would ask me stuff, and I would look at S., and he would answer them. Really weird and zen, which is not me at all, to be honest.

I'm guessing it starts with "M".

All is well that ends in pizza.
Bonnie, I just posted a thank you in buffistechnology before coming here. not more than 5 minutes ago.
I've been kind of... busy.
ION:
Still trying frantically to find another car before work tomorrow. Andi is at work until 9, so I can't even drive anywhere.
Also? Still no tarp on my leaky roof. Gah!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I did poop while pushing
I videotaped my Nephlet's birth (not an awesome idea but she wanted it) and there was a poop. The nurse very efficiently cleaned up and, honestly, I wouldn't have remembered if we weren't talking about it in here. Of everything, this seemed no big.

Oh, no doubt! :)
To be fair, I had severed my humerus just a couple of mm above my elbow, and until they x-rayed it, they thought I had just dislocated my elbow, so they were moving it around a WHOLE lot more than they did after they saw the pictures. And the radiology tech did ask me to grip his hand and bury my face in his neck. These things happen.
That was the one and only time I had morphine, and it was very weird. I could still feel the pain, I just didn't care.

You needed a punching intern!

OMG that's awesome.
The guy I bit was incredibly nice about it.

Yeah, pooping during the birth of your child is really nothing to be embarrassed about. Unless you're the father.
