[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My brother-in-law is awesome! Not only do we have a wonderful new adapted crib, but three doors that never closed properly now work perfectly!

I went to TJ's today and bought all the things. Including stuff I know I'll want around post baby. I also went to Verizon and upgraded my iPhone to a 6. After 4 years my phone was being all glitchy and weird and I wanted something more reliable. I also stopped at this chain place for lunch called B Good and had a delicious burger. Now nap and then wedding party for the inlaws.

Well done, sj's BIL!

I well remember getting the house together before Emmett's arrival. EM and I in his room, standing on ladders, painting the ceiling, listening to Crowded House and Sam Phillips.

The house is just about as together as it is ever going to be. Having the inlaws over last night gave us the push to finish things up.

Oh, and after doing all that work in the house, brother-in-law then said he was going to be useful and helped me cook. I wish he didn't live in NC. Although he is going to be here for the better part of a year on and off for a job. I must think of other things for him to fix.

That sounds like a pretty awesome brother-in-law to me! Yay.

He's more awesome than I realized. I don't know him very well because they moved shortly after TCG introduced me to the family.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay for sj's awesome BIL!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I survived the in-law's wedding party. Everyone hugged me. I don't like being hugged in general unless it is someone I know quite well. This was not the case with most people, and I hate being hugged even more since I've been pregnant. I finally just had to ask TCG to take me home.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I sympathize, sj. I am a hugger, and I've gotten much more standoffish during this pregnancy. (Of course, people touching my belly without asking contributes to my "stay the hell away" mentality. Sincerely, what the fuck are people thinking??)

But I'm glad you survived, and am even more glad you're home now.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Skipping and skimming to post this question I also put to my friends on Facebook:

I have a question for any of my friends who are lawyers.

Does a telework job for a large employer in a state which requires a $15 Minimum wage have to pay the minimum wage where the employee lives, or the minimum wage for the state where the company is located?

I know that where I worked telecommuting last year, I had to only pay state taxes in my home state, so all of my income teleworking was Minnesota-based.
