[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
She's going to be one of only two children admitted that didn't already have a sibling at the school, and it absolutely wouldn't have happened if I hadn't gone in yesterday.
Sparky, that's fantastic!
Ever tried to restrain a terrified 15-pound orange cat?
God yes. ~ma to Seamus! Calm down, kitty pants.
Never heard of packzi, but "custard-filled, deep-fried, sugar-coated pastry" sounds like a Southern thing, and now I want one.
It occurs to me that I forgot to eat breakfast.
Much ~ma for your FIL, Barb!

Packzi are not as sweet as the jelly-filled stuff you get at Dunkin' Donuts, but they are good. Traditional jelly flavors included rose and prune.

Sparky, wow, congrats! Your Fall is already going to be so much less frantic and I am happy for you.
I don't recall any of this frenetic activity around kids getting into school when I was a kid. Was it always that way?

Used to be you went to your neighborhood school without any other choices.

K is only going to be 2, so we're not talking school-school, but private preschool, which doubles as daycare. And we're talking one that accepts children her age full time, so that her working parents can work. If we wanted to send her a couple of times a week, or for half days, that wouldn't be such an issue.

I switched to a private school in 7th grade that was very competitive. There was extensive testing for admission and I think only around half a dozen of us made the cut. Most of the kidshad come from the affiliated lower school that had a multiyear waiting list for entry at kindergarten. So yeah it has always been around if you've watched for it.
