[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.

A Very Happy Birthday, Ms. Cass! I hope I look so good at 40! ;)

Sox, I hope the blissful slumbers have found their way to you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Happy birthday, Cass!

Happy birthday,Cass! The 40s have been mostly good to me so far. I hope they treat you well, too.

not your mom's socks.

Happy Birthday, Cass!

Thanks Epic - eventually, yes. But bearing odd dreams.

This is my last Friday babysitting. The school year ends for his parents this week. I'll probably still help out this summer if they need it but no more 5:15 alarm on Fridays. G is being a bit of a pain in the ass today insisting on more snacks and more TV and getting really upset when I say no. Not surprisingly he turns 3 in 2 months.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It appears I am having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic eyedrops for the pink eye. Do. NOT. Want. (Yes, already contacted the clinic's on-call doctor for instructions, taking benedryl, discontinue drops, cool compresses.)

Happy birthday, Cass!

As for being over 35 and pregnant: I was over 40, had no trouble getting pregnant, had no trouble being pregnant, (never had a varicose vein, a hemorrhoid, leg cramps, heartburn or any other symptom except some easily controlled morning sickness; my blood pressure went down, and I have no stretch marks). It was high risk only in the eyes of the insurance company. I still didn't like *being* pregnant, but that's my issue.

I think when you and your friends get to a certain age there's a lot of talk about how people are having difficulties with pregnancies which keeps those of us who didn't have any problems quiet because we don't want to rub salt in a wound.

I sincerely apologize if I've done so here by recounting my experience, but 35 is not a number of doom.

Our wings are not tired.

Happiest Birthday, Cass!

{{Andi}} hope relief is quick

Sparky is me on the geriatric pregnancy stuff. Was happy I did it 20 years later than my friends. I was ready at that point.
