Job searches are worse than health care in the US. At least with health care there is a reasonable chance someone involved knows what they are doing..
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.
Also? it was only a matter of time...
"Is Texas Under Attack By The US Government For Resisting Jade Helm?"
Finally!
I just spent two days trying to get through to someone to book my iron infusions. I finally get through and after booking the first one the nurse actually asks me if I want to wait to book the rest. Hell no!

Buffista parents with opinions about baby products and specifically what I need to be registered for, I would really appreciate your help. I'm finding that there is an overwhelming number of options out there, and I'm sure you know better than I do what I actually need.
sj, I forwarded you some messages a friend sent me that still apply. Looking back, I can't believe how much stuff I absolutely didn't need, or only used for a short period of time (counted in weeks for infants) and then had to store/ship to someone/get rid of -- which proved to be a pain the arse.
Thanks, Sparky! That is super helpful.

It has been a couple decades so not real recent memories of this. Mostly I remember that babies really don't have a lot of needs. Love, diapers, and I used a lot of little cloths or wet wipe things. I also had several of the tiny lightweight strollers. Had them in all the vehicles, office, house, must have had a half dozen. My kids were big and heavy and if they weren't in some type of body carrier they were in mini strollers. The big super strollers I found to be annoying.
Where are you registering, sj? 1 place, or a few?
