[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.

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

No. Now there are TWO birds on your head!

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.

I hate the ads that are on around here, for "Your Baby Can Read!", where these morons blither on about how their darling 18-month-old is reading at the 2nd grade level. As Hubby says, "Great, so long as you don't mind that the kid will never walk quite right or will have a speech impediment because you fucked up his proper brain development."

But Little Johnny can read before Little Janey next door, and you can brag about it at church on Sunday, and we all know what's really important, don't we.

Oopsy, spilled some chlorine in the shallow end of the gene pool.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I take cranberry concentrate tablets every day and I've not had a UTI in years

This is very useful thing to know about. I hate cranberry juice, but I'm always having it recommended for UTIs. I'll look into the tablets thing.

Can you replace Buffista-assured with self-assured? I have faith in you.

Aw. Heh. Thanks. I shall try for that. Buffista-assured!

Aims, I echo what everyone here is saying. I am not a mother, but I've been an English teacher, and I was a nanny before that. In the US, Britain and some other countries, we expect our kids to be reading much earlier than in other places, where they start school around 7. (Sometimes I wonder if that isn't better for them. In the UK system, we're currently pushing our kids through a punishing schedule of standardised testing almost every year, in order to meet 'targets' on their learning. I've seen some kids get turned off learning, long-term, by that experience.) At 5, enjoying stories and knowing letters sounds like a good place to be.
