Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[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.

Step 1: ban Frisbees

Hah! I had a roommate once who was a big Ultimate player. I....don't get it. They scare me for some reason. Like, ruggers, I get. But Ultimate just seems WEIRD.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ultimate players do tend toward the obsessive.

Ha? What's with the Frisbee hating?

Trust my rage

vw, if you are around, feel free to e mail me. Not really my area but I'd be happy to do what I can.

ION, the last few days when I've been out driving around while Ellie is at preschool, I keep having this feeling that I've forgotten a child somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's because I can see her empty car seat out of the corner of my eye, but it's still very disturbing.

Stephanie, insent. NO rush.

Oh, that is very disturbing. Yuck.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I did this, the first few times we dropped wee Emeline at her first day-care. I'd have these moments of "JESUS FUCK! I FORGOT THE BABY!!" and my heart would stop and my sphincter would start to unclench and then I'd remember she was safe in the hands of professionals.

And then five minutes later, I'd do it again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've been having dreams the past few nights where I'm out and about and I realize it's been several hours and I've left Dylan home alone. For some reason it's usually in my parents' house. Creepy as fuck.

I've also been waking up with excruciating back pain. Probably not unrelated to the random anxiety dreams.

You know what I love most about Chinese food for dinner? Leftover Chinese food for breakfast! Mmmmm...

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think forgotten child fear is one of the primal fears of parents. The rest of us just have the fear we'll forget something important. I can easily imagine the unconscious self doing a quick accounting and alerting the conscious.

I think it's a good fear. Sadly, every couple of years we read about parents who apparently do not have it. This of course, only reinforces the fear in the rest of society.

All in all, I think it's a natural parental reaction and you have passed the test.
