Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

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

The bruiser could be *me* - I was 10lbs 12oz at birth. Stayed a spherical child until I was 2 - ash-blond hair, bright blue eyes, 2 feet tall, 2 feet around. The family called me "GusGus" after the fat mouse from "Cinderella".

Then I abruptly got taller, but gained no weight, and remained a 4-foot-tall stringbean until highschool.

This was my brother, too. (Though your family sounds nicer than mine - my bro's nickname was "Gorgo the Babysaur" until he was about 3.) He's now over 6 feet and weighs maybe 90 lbs soaking wet, causing him to be regularly snarled at by his three older, shorter, fatter sisters. Why'd he have to get all the nice recessive genes?

Woe! I cannot see the giant baby and comment on his adorablosity!

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 know I drank at least 60 ounces of water yesterday plus assorted mugs of hot cocoa, and it wasn't hot enough for me to be dripping buckets. So why is my body acting like it is dehydrated?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Timelies. There is gronk, but somehow less today. Yet, still don't want to go to work. It was so nice lounging all weekend. However, paychecks are nicer, and they must be earned, right?

Punishingly Intricate

I'd love to see not-so-wee Idris.

Me too, me too! I'm lisa_h!

Our wings are not tired.

Vortex (and others) please add my Flickr name - tortoiseshell. Thanks!

I did get the guest invite and saw the beautiful baby. I think it is easier on parents to have the big hearty variety. They don't seem as breakable. The birthing part though - ouch!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My oldest nephew was born two weeks late (ended up a c-section due to the inducing not working), and was born 10 lbs 14 oz. Ouch. His two sibs were both scheduled sections, so they were born two weeks early, and were still 9 lbs 6 oz and 9 lbs 9 oz. Again, ouch.

My SIL's older sister's two kids were both over 11 lbs, and were both natural childbirth. Double ouch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I love my daughter and would have gone to any lengths to bring her into the world. However. I have distinct issues with blowing out my vagina because of a baby when there are other delivery options.

“Not dead yet!”

I have distinct issues with blowing out my vagina because of a baby when there are other delivery options.

Anyone else get the mental image of Aims' vagina blowing up like a balloon and carrying her away? Just me?

Right then.

Carry on.
