I'm currently averaging about 250 incoming emails a day. I'm pretty good about not having ones that are unread, but that also because I aggressively use automated filters to move things into folders as they hit my inbox. Even with that I currently have about 600 emails in my inbox, and I just got it down to 20 about 4 weeks ago.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

[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.

Just got a baby shower invitation. The gift registry is mostly Blu-ray Discs, and then REAL expensive baby carrier type things. Any off registry ideas of something you were so glad you got, but didn't realize you needed it? These are first time parents. I'd much rather give a practical gift than Frozen on blu-ray.

Ah, the Amazon gift registry was very slim, but the Toys R Us has a lot more options, not just toys! Also, it's a boy, if that helps with any ideas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Isn't there some software you can put on a computer that blocks certain websites during hours? A friend of mine is having trouble getting her teenager off the Internet, like, ever.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Zenkitty, lots of 'em. This looks like a decent rundown: [link]

omnis, if there is an option near to them to buy a membership to a zoo, museum, aquarium or play space those are great gifts for new parents.

Thanks, amych! That's perfect.

I should have added wine to my gift registry. Not that I actually had a registry. Babies need so little. We used a bunch of onesies. I liked the super lightweight receiving blankets because the standard ones are too warm. The kids weren't really into toys for quite some time. Maybe vodka, for the parents.

Good suggestion, Sparky1! We went to the zoo a lot when the boys were little. As well as the other options. The zoo is so very distracting to all.

Oooh! I like that idea. I think they live close to the Santa Ana Zoo! Plus it gets them out of the house.
Love me some hive mind!

I also recommend books. Kat threw me a books baby shower and we got lots and lots of wonderful children's books.
