Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[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.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I remember in Arizona, mothers with young babies talked about starting infants on bottles with water early, even if you breast feed, to get them used to drinking water.

I hope that ltc and parents were able to get some sleep. I do remember the sleep deprivation days too well.
