[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."

Thanks, Juliana. I feel like crap, but ltc seems to be better. She is eating like a champ today. I tried to new sippy cup the nurse recommended, but ltc was more interested in playing with it than drinking from it. I can't figure out how to teach her to suck the milk out of it, but we'll keep working on it because I'm ready to start weaning her.

Our wings are not tired.

Laura, was it a one-time treatment (acupuncture for allergies) or did you have to go to multiple appointments?

The first session got rid of 95% of it, but I went a couple more times. This was 25 years ago.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If I could get a quarter century of allergy relief from 3-4 acupuncture treatments, it would be totally worth it. I'll have to look into it. Thanks, Laura.

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

Me too. That's amazing.

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

sj, I'm told that it might take until she's a year old to properly figure out how to seal her lips around the sippy cup, but to let her keep messing around with it so she can figure it out. (Peanut alternates between accepting bottles & sippy cups while I'm at work. Apparently the sippy cup feeding is epic.)

Juliana, we're going to just keep trying. We'd like to just skip over the bottle if at all possible.

The boys went from breast to sippy cup. It was often messy, but they got the hang of it. It was so warm that I often gave them water in the sippy cup because they would sweat so much and I worried about dehydration.

So I've got this packing in my sinus, and the instructions say to avoid hot liquids to avoid dilating the blood vessels. Does that mean I can't have a hot dinner?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Maybe avoid soup? I dunno

Thanks, Laura. Tonight's bedtime did not go well. ltc was hysterical and refused to sleep or be comforted. So unlike her. Poor sick baby.
