I love hearing the news from Nilly! And the baby dust-mop is brilliant.
edit: Dude, post #69 in thread #69? I feel like I just won some kind of lottery.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

As everyone else has said, it is unpossible for you to give offense, Nilly, but we'd love to see more of you.
I don't know why the Swiffer people don't make disposable baby clothes out of Swiffer material.

Staying up for the thread rollover was not a good idea. So tired. And today has been a bit of a shitstorm. My 9:00 meeting involved a shouting match. (I wasn't involved. I just sat wishing I had not come in today.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
In the middle of my panic, my agent sent me an email that she loves the sample I sent of the new book, and wants the full proposal and another essay in the next two weeks to get out to editors before publishing shuts down for thanksgiving.
Ever so cool I say "sure."
Ever so reality, I threw up. I'm going to do it and get it done and be fine, but I can't convince my stomach that it's fine and we do this and there's no reason to let my brain tell me I'm worthless and talentless and it's all an elaborate practical joke. My brain is not allowed to be an asshole this time. I'm just not having it. Fuck you, brain. We have a book to get out into the world.

Staying up wasn't a good plan for me either. Grace is out of surgery and we are in her roo for the next day. Ordered food for her and then we can relax.

Hey, Allyson's brain? Um, How to say this? Shut up! Only the parts involved in creative writing are allowed to speak, preferably in writing.
(Oh, Allyson! I'm so glad I was still online on time to read your good news!)
