Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

'First Date'

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.

Closed Threads

[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.

Trust my rage

The biggest thing I would say is not to worry or project too much (yeah, this is hard, I have so been there).

That's one of the things I love about this board. I'm sure we are not all big readers, but I feel like if there was ever a place to stress about your kid not reading, people here would get it.

Ellie loves to "read" books at school but we don't read that much at home. Which is weird because I love to read. I would love to spend more time reading to her at night, but it takes forever to get Frisco to sleep which sort of sucks up our evenings.

Another idea is to have her read kid-version graphic novels. Casper loves "Babymouse" which has words but you can also follow the story with just pictures. It's one of the few book she'll read to herself. We also love the Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie series. They are "early readers" but so much more fun than "Dick and Jane."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett didn't read until he was in first grade when he was 6, and it was over the course of that school year.

And he was not in the least unusual in that regard. Most of the kids entering first grade did not read.

So. Don't worry! Emeline will be fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Always Anti-fascist!

sj, I take cranberry concentrate tablets every day and I've not had a UTI in years(Which is like, really good as I found out I now have a sulfa allergy and doctors tend to prefer it, them? for the bladder infections.) The ones I take come with extra vitamin C, too, as far as I know, it couldn't hurt.My mom the hippie says they make things more acidic and the germs don't like it in there then.) One thing, besides blue eyes, I have in common with Adrian Grenier...apparently his mother calls from Brooklyn to see if he's taken his supplements today. My mom would totally do this. She wants to know if Ms.Grenier has ever tried to grow a fruit pit in a juice glass.
