[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.

the nugget's entire job description right now!

And that's just it. Nugget is sucking out every nutrient he/she wants from you, leaving you deficient. Don't worry about nugget! You're really eating for you right now.

Trust my rage

The best advice I got on eating while pregnant was from flea who said, I think, don't let your stomach get too empty/hungry and that worked for me. I basically lived on dried fruit and nuts from Costco, string cheese, and yogurt. I was okay as long as I had something in my stomach.

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

I ate so much McDonalds during my first trimester - I couldn't stand the smell of food, so going to a deli for a bagel was never an option in the morning.

Yep yep yep - so much this. I kept apples and saltines in my bedside table so I could have something before I tried standing up in the morning.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Total random interruption: Huh. In the past 48 hours I've been contacted by both my parents (during different conversations with different friends in different states) to explain the lie/lay distinction. Are there lie/lay confusion germs floating around or something?

I'm afraid those germs have infected 99% of the population.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm... now where's my copy of Lays and the Laying Layers Who Tell Them....

God knows I have those germs.

Let me see. I lie down so they won't see me. I lay the body into the trunk. The car lies on the dock.

the lie/lay distinction

My mother's voice in my head screams: "Hens lay!"

One of the baby gifts we got is a temporal artery thermometer. I can't stop taking my, or Kalliope's, temperature.
