Ha ha ha. I love my little sister. Her Facebook status is "[P-C's little sister] is wondering why parents enjoy being stalkers and getting facebooks...."
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

[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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
P-C, that's funny. I can see why it would be alarming to find your parent there. I wasn't perturbed, just highly amused, to see my dad was on facebook before I was!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
My brain is so weird when it's tired.
Weirder than normal, that is.
I am earwormed. I get earwormed when I'm tired.
The theme to "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" is stuck in my head.
Yesterday, if you'd asked, I could NOT have told you how that music went.

Oh, Sox. WTF is with this agency?
agencies. 3 for certain. DH gets a certain number of calls per year as a benefit/way to keep employees at their desks. They find a sitter who is supposed to be up to the level of home-care. We pay a pretty penny for it. But they find the sitter, which is, IMHO, hella helpful. Except, when it isn't.
Honestly - it is a much better solution than companies complaining/harrassing or firing employees because they have sick kids to take care of. I think that is completely reprehensible and anyone that would fire an employee for taking care of family had best be figuring out how to help those people care for their kids. Or being hit on the head with an anvil. But still. here we are - not perfect solution by far.
I'd tried contracting with an agency on my own - If I'm working the way I am now, I really have to have a resource. That was the first disaster... Iris learned the word 'shutup' and a few other things that still have me sprouting spikes and thunderbolts every time I think about it - that agency wanted to give me a free sitter service if I'd try them again - and all I could say was "it's not like this is the plumbing or something." We haven't had a sitter for non-work reasons since I don't know when.
We were completely spoiled in Baltimore. The sitters were neighbors. And friends and family.

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
Every now and then I see something and think, "There is a benevolent Diety."
Today? With the Heh-heh-heh and the Mwa-ha-haaaaa its more like "If there is a God, God is a smartass."

move out and draw fire
Sox, maybe the wee girl should come and stay with us for a bit? Alternately, I will mail you children's cold meds.
I miss everyone! I've been too busy to even lurk. It sucks.
