People in time zones behind me: Dita von Teese is on CSI tonight. Don't be like me and miss it, if you're a fan of hers. (If you're not a fan, then disregard this post.)
Bye, now. Have good sex.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I figure when they grow out of it, they'll be big enough I can put 'em to work in the fields, picking corn and shooting groundhogs.
There's a board game, Agricola, in which you manage a farm. You can have kids during the course of the game, and send them out to work the very next turn. Wallybee took particular delight in sending her offspring to catch wild boar, exhorting them to "Work, Baby, work!"
Ryan may be fortunate that we're short on wild boar in our neighbourhood.

Grace's hospital sent home ANOTHER monitor for her in an effort to d/c the oxygen. She has one pulse oximeter on each foot. It's kinda ridiculous.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
At Christmas, we got a 9-month-old baby, who was just getting his crawling skills perfected, to chase a laser dot.
That is fantastic!
Figure if you can't experiment on your own kids, who can you?
I was sort of hopeful when my sister got pregnant with twins. But then they turned out to be fraternal, not identical. So much for that idea...

That is fantastic toooooo. I want to meet her.
No sharks!

That was B.F. Skinner's opinion. His wife accepted it up to a point, but set set limits... Hence the kid got taken out of the skinner box more often and for longer periods of time than Skinner intended.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
3.5 years not enough.
Worked just fine for me.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
PSA: do NOT watch the first 6 minutes of Bones while eating. In fact, you might just avert your eyes altogether.
I've found avoiding that show around dinnertime in general is a good idea. Invariably either the manner in which the victim-of-the-week died or the results thereof are in some way reminiscent of the particular meal I'm eating.

Wallybee and I have been watching some of Season 2 over dinner. (It was available at the library, and has subtitles.) The show's nowhere near as dark as Criminal Minds (for instance) - though we've had some pretty disturbing cases over the last couple of nights - but it does like to go for the gruesome. (Doesn't bother me, but I wasn't sure how Wallybee would take it.)

CM has creepier people, but Bones has creepy visuals. Though I have to say that the cowrie faces from last night's CM definitely rank with the nastiest shit they've shown me.
