You give them the tools and then you stand back and clap in glee when they build something completely marvelous and their own.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

It doesn't help that I stayed up until 2:45 to finishing Mockingjay and therefore haven't slept yet.
So you're probably in a SUPER mindset after finishing that, right? t sarcasm
Seriously, I'm glad the dilaudid (yay!) got the pain down, but I am hoping like crazy that they get to the bottom of this. NOW.
I wish your parents had even a tiny inkling of just how inadvertently spectacular a job they've done of bringing some deeply splendid human beings into the world.
They just wonder what they did wrong.
I truly feel sorry for them. You and your brother (and, I imagine, your sister) are a parent's DREAM. No joke.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{ND and Pix}}} I really hope they get everything figured out and can fix ND post hasty.
{{amyth}} and {{Trudy}} All kinds of ~ma for the 31st.
P-C: What everyone else has said. Especially:
You and your brother (and, I imagine, your sister) are a parent's DREAM. No joke.
So very much this.
Val: thanks for teaching the kids to play! I have a lot of Indian students, too, but by the time they get to me, they know how to play (which is important in my classes and in life in general) and it's because of teachers like you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am sorry to break in here, but I have a drug interaction question-- is Steph around?

Oh, god, ND and Pix. I'm so sorry that you're going through this! Fingers crossed that they get to the bottom of this once and for all.
ION, I dropped smonster off for a wet and rainy New Orleans adventure at Elizabeth's in the Bywater, then went to the farmers market in the Central Business District. They have muscadet fruit! I don't know what to do with them though.
Yay, vw on the board!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
More ~ma to amyth's brother, Trudy's aunt and to Pix and ND.
Reading the latest, I remember someone either in Bitches or Natter had mentioned they had a relative who'd had similar symptoms to ND's and they'd turned out to be abdominal adhesions. Looking at a page on abdominal adhesions, I see they're often a cause of intestinal obstruction. (Of course this is the internet and we're not doctors but I thought I'd mention it.)
In any case, I really hope they figure out what it is soon.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Diagnosis-ma for Drew, and thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for good pain meds in the meantime.
Dylan just asked to wear underwear at naptime for the first time. Hopefully this means progress and not just extra laundry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Pix and ND - my goodness guys. I hope that today brings answers and results. Much love and ~~ma to you guys.

Our wings are not tired.
Jess, that is such excellent timing. Dylan's baby shower gift to you will be that you won't have to change diapers for two little beings!

He's been in underwear during the day for a while now, but we usually still do pullups for naps and bedtime.
Mainly I just want to stop buying the damn things. After three years in cloth, it's killing me how expensive the disposables are.
