And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

I hope the water and fan help, msbelle.

Beverly, I would love to help you sort books, if by "help" you mean "move three books, see one that looks interesting, sit down to flip through it and read bits and bobs for 15 minutes, put it to one side for further consideration, move three more books, etc." I'm glad the bookcase-dresser switch worked out for you.

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

My fearless toddler is starting to get nervous and scared about many things. Noises, taking a bath, etc. Is this a normal toddler thing? Should I be worried?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My method would be similar to Calli's.

You guys, ground defense is hard work. I clearly need cardio exercise in my life, which is my least favorite type of exercise.

The toddler I nannied went through a MAJOR attachment thing with mom at about 18 - 24 months, I think - super separation anxiety.

Because books.

It's normal, sj!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not a lot of first-hand experience, but it seems like TONS of friends' kids have gone through the same thing at that age. She'll make it through to the other side!

Thanks. She wouldn't care if I went to Mars, but she is TCG's shadow and gets upset when he leaves the room. Any advice with the tub? A couple of weeks ago she loved it. Then she pooped in it, and now she is terrified of it. Scrambling to get out and visibly shaking.

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 hope cooling down does the trick, msbelle.

It looks like War Paint won't get anything. Costume design was probably their best shot.
