Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

Can't blame her on the Winter Soldier thing. You're raising that child right!

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

I took the plunge and ordered my Birkenstocks after I verified that their return policy was not too much of a pain.

I hope they work out well for you.

Go go feminist geek baby!

Thrive to spite them

Go feminist geek baby. Swim meet went okay. Didn't go to all the places I wanted it's hit and we're both tired. Was hoping to go go lane bryant for bras. Opted for trader joes inst3ad. Good choice it actually feel cool. Too bad I don't like mango because it's mangopalooza here. Mangoes every where including the jo jos.

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.

sj I feel you should record that in ltc's baby book so you can either say "it started early" or embarrass her with it... or both.

I just got Peach's memento! Only 4 more mementos to go (Frosty, Sapphire, Jeeves and Conductor Whiskers) then I will be done!

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

WS, I should.

I thought it was hard hosting a Father's Day gathering while 7 months pregnant. Ha! Now I'm hosting one with a 10 month old who is becoming more stubborn by the day. Signed just now getting the beans in the crock pot (good thing they cook overnight) and scratching banana bread from the menu.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to my friend's cook-out, which was fun. It got to be too much after a few hours, so I left, but I was able to stay for a lot longer than I'd thought I would. And we had an interesting conversation about politics, while the one British guy there kind of looked like he was terrified it was going to explode into a confrontation any minute. (There was one moment when I thought somebody did say something completely stupid, but I kept my cool and found a way to stop arguing that point.) Also, I got to explain caucuses to several foreigners, a few of whom I don't think believed me.

Oh, and one of the other people at the party said that she knows she was a Nazi in a past life, because several people she's met have told her that they knew her then, but she doesn't know if she was "a good Nazi or a bad Nazi." I chose not to comment at all on that.

"Good luck with that" I'm such a weirdo magnet she would stick to me like glue made out of humans.
