Such wonderful news to hear this morning!
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

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.

Compassionately intolerant
Shir speaks absolute truth.
Many blessings on the house of Nilly!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Nilly-Baby!

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.

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.

Yeah, the movie overall was no good. But that opener is totally worth watching! You'll laugh, you'll cry...
