Wtf, Hil? That is bullshit.
What is the current amount to spend on a classmate's Birthday gift? What do I buy a 3 year old boy? I wasn't prepared for this stage of parenting yet.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Do you have to bring a gift, sj? I basically never bring gifts to kids' birthday parties, and nobody has ever said anything to me about it. I think a lot of parents would be just as happy without another gift, and a 3-year-old isn't going to care about who did or didn't bring something.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do. I don't actually mind bringing a gift. I just have no idea what is appropriate these days.

When in doubt, I always buy book(s).

There are reasons she's not allowed a flamethrower.
My friends eagerly forbid me from having one, too. Something about my akwardination and the lack of ability to control where the fire will spread to.
The patriarchy, I tell you. They lack the vision.

In the interests of fairness and chaos, I'd like to mention that a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and a lighter make a pleasant way to hunt mosquitos, plus you can get cheap, interesting movie quality effects on the ceiling. Please confirm the low-flammability of your ceiling before attempting.

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 did not wake up coughing last night. My cough is improving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yay for a coughing decrease!
