echoing Deb's bathtub anxiety. Our tub will be clean for Nilly's visit, and, you know, that's a pretty special occasion in and of itself.
Heh. Off to read Natter.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

What is even happening?
Jon is talking about a mikvah, which is a ritual purity bath (and you can't usually take one at home because it has to be living water, and there's a lot to this lalalala...digress) a woman must take after her monthly (and after giving birth and other stuff...). I don't think that's the issue, here.
I am guessing that either to ensure there is no mildew (there's lots in the Torah about mildew), or to kosher-clean a tub a menstruating woman could have once used, a certified cleansing agent is probably needed.

OK, that can be part of the post-airport pickup grocery run. s'cool. Nilly knows what Nilly needs, and we'll handle it when she gets here.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Or maybe we were just kidding around...

Boston area plans (so far):
Monday night- gathering at Tom and Nora's with party snacks and party beverages. starting 7:30ish.
Tuesday day - I don't know. Some sort of sightseeing, I'm sure it will be arranged on Monday night, or something. I can't participate, so am not taking the lead on this.
Tuesday night- hanging out and having dinner in Brookline/Harvard Ave / Coolidge Corner area. Time and place of dinner TBD.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?
No, it just lurks and supports other trees in email.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nilly's dad left a message on my voicemail. Cutest thing. He said, "I don't speak English like Nilly speaks English...and then spoke in Hebrew for the rest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So you're saying Nilly's father is cuter than my mother? Is Mummy going to be removed from your comedy rotation?

I'm adding it. I sang Paula her theme song last night.
But Nilly's dad is pretty cute. I mean, obviously.

Oh, yay.
I mean, obviously.
Yeah, kind of a given. Wonder what mom's like...
