Steph, I can't begin to express how happy I am that you found Tim. Watching your relationship blossom from afar has been a great pleasure.
sarameg, sorry about the early morning work shift!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I forgot I was supposed to be at work at 8:30, so now I won't. Oh well.
Not gushy, Tep. Just eloquent and beautiful.
Another little quake just a couple of minutes ago -- were any other Bayistas awake to feel it?
never doubt that I called them on it. shaming was involved. I judge.
I almost wish throat punching had been involved. Grrr.
Having a children is a choice (for most) but since it involves creating a future not only for the new humans but the ones who will eventually depend on them for care and leadership, I say the people who are building that future are the ones taking the hit for Team Humanity.
The child-free movement and those desiring a tax break for their choice get their benefit from more sleep, less stress and the freedom that comes from not having to wipe noses and asses for years.
In other words: Suck it up and be The Village.
All of these earthquakes, in the same location in Berkeley, every day? Obviously the work of a Mad Scientist.
isn't supposed to be a good thing? the fault letting out some pressure?

For the kind of people who are bitching about taxes on the internet, yes. But I would continue to argue that the ability to choose the size and shape of one's family is a first-world luxury - I do not think "most" women have access to the reproductive freedom choices that I do.
unfortunately there are those who want to take it away from us in this country too.

Definitely agree.
I wish more people would realize that the cheapest and easiest way to improve the standard of living in any country is to a)educate the girls and b)make sure women have easy access to contraception.
There are Nerds on my keyboard. I suspect Owen's been into the Halloween candy.
In other first-world luxury news, man builds smartphone dock into his prosthetic arm.
(My first thought when I saw that was "Dang, I wish I were a cyborg." My second thought was "What's he going to do when his contract runs out?")
