'Soul Purpose'
[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.
Totally skipping and I'm very very sorry for that (550+ posts behind. I'm getting to the present, slowly but surely), but it's about the Nillybaby (x-posted with Natter):
I think I'll visit Nilly in the hospital tomorrow. If you have anything you'd like me to print for her, feel free to send it to my email (I'm not sure about the wi-fi there). Profile addy is good.
That's all for now.
Such wonderful news to hear this morning!
I know, right? I mean, this is a cruel and sometimes senseless and harsh and WTF? and messed up and I-really-have-no-time-to-for-anything-these-days world we're in. And yet, people like Nilly are reproducing. That's a giant beam of light and hope, right there.
Shir speaks absolute truth.
Many blessings on the house of Nilly!
Happy Birthday, Nilly-Baby!
And yet, people like Nilly are reproducing.
I was reminded the other day of a extraordinarily brilliant friend of mine. He was in his 80s when my first son was born and when he visited me in the hospital it was the very first baby he had ever held. We used to go to lunch often. He reminded me of my dad, super engineer, was head of the national engineers society or whatever for years.
When I first told Gordon that I was pregnant he looked at me like I was stark raving mad. He argued with me that I surely had more important things to accomplish with my life, etc, etc. He was dead serious. He had been married forever, but they didn't have children because his contributions to the world were much more important. Of course my argument was that it didn't make a whole lot of evolutionary sense to only let the dumb reproduce.
Anyway, I feel better about the world when people like Nilly reproduce because I know the world is a better place with her children in it.
YAY Nilly Baby! Thank you for the update, Shir!

Have you seen Idiocracy? Not a very good movie, but the first 15 minutes are absolutely brilliant (and depressing).

Yes. That.

My immediate takeaway from the movie (other than "Plants crave it," which has become an oft-repeated phrase in our house) was that it was dumb as hell.
But it stuck with me, and in my more pessimistic moments, I'm convinced, totally convinced, that it's wildly accurate about human development.
