amyth, how is Mairead pronounced? I love the name and I've always said it one way, but I think I'm wrong.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

[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.

Because books.

Ah! I was saying "read" as in "to read a book". I like the actual pronunciation, though!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Biyi wasn't able to keep up with breastfeeding Ryan either. Needless to say, he's turned out pretty well so far. Especially these days, it's really a pretty minor thing whether you breastfeed or bottle feed. More important is that what you're doing works for your own family.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
amyth! *tacklehug* I miss you too! When are you going to come visit us??
in my mind there's enough stress involved with being a parent, especially for the first time, that adding more unnecessarily is a bad idea.
So much this. See also: why we are doing disposable diapers instead of cloth.

All the kids in daycare call her Raidy because they can't pronounce her name, so she's taken to calling herself that. Her latest (because two-year-olds are nothing if not impatient narcissists) is to say, "WHAT ABOUT RAIDY?" if we aren't getting to something fast enough: her yogurt, getting her out of her carseat, whatever.

Aw, you guys. I'm so glad I finally talked to you all about this. Seriously, if bottle-feeding and formula are good enough for Ryan, and Sara, and Epic, and lots of other totally awesome Buffistas and Buffista kids, then Rose is going to be just fine. Thanks for helping me keep my sanity, y'all.

Ha! I love it. And I tremble just a little bit in thinking about Rose being that age...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Man, why did I wait so long to talk about this here??
Let this be a lesson to you! Seriously, the hivemind is an excellent resource for parenting as well as fic recommendations.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
"WHAT ABOUT RAIDY?"
Oh my goodness. Dying of the megalomaniacal cute.
Two hours of foam rolling, acupressure and various other maneuvers... and I'm still in a lot of pain. My appointment isn't until 3 pm tomorrow, I hope I can work until then.
Now to figure out what to make for dinner.
