I think you'll find that you rise to the occasion. We all do more than we think we can when we are called upon to do so.

Eh, the hubby and I split baby care fairly equitably - at least, as much as you can when one person has the baby's food inside their chest. For us, most of the strain came from sleep deprivation. My God, the lack of sleep during those first few months is awful. If they did that to prisoners of war it would be…

Oh my God, I couldn't believe it when they sent us home with these sofa cushion maxi pads. But yeah, you're going to bleed for a while.

"Some kid brought back my R2 unit. Memory was wiped. FML, I had important battle plans in there. #Wheresmyporn"

I would totally sign up for that twitter feed. "Business trip to Death Star. Struck down by former intern. #Kids_today"

My daughter's just hitting puberty. I think I may have reached the the statute of limitations on referring to my extra pounds as "baby weight."

I'm pretty sure that would fall under "adulteration of food" which is the same law they use to get guys who spit and.. uh.. do other things in the food at the places where they work.

You take the friends, I'll take the benefits.

Sa-LUTE, baby!

I've been playing Tales of Monkey Island and all I can think about is those games' MacGuffin, a giant sea sponge called La Esponja Grande ( [www.miwiki.net] ). It's a giant sponge that sucks up voodoo.

It would not be too cynical. I have worked in two places where we had to switch models for international consumption because they didn't feel that darker skin would sell the product outside the U.S.

Ah, Bruce. King of my heart.

No, no. Take every flyer they offer you. Rip them up right in front of them if you want to, but take 'em. Those things cost them money.

Knitters, we do have a Ravelry group. Just so y'all know.

Also, all our knitting Jezzies know there's a Ravelry group for us, right? [www.ravelry.com]

I always recommend washcloths as a first project. They're small so they're good for instant gratification, if you're in the US you can get one ball of kitchen cotton at any big box craft store for less than $3, and when it comes out looking terrible (hey, it's your first project) then you can still get the pleasure…

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

*Puts on hipster glasses with even bigger rims* I had a child. You probably haven't heard of her. She's very obscure.

When we had our kid, based on conversations within our social circle we kind of assumed that all our friends would follow, like dominoes toppling. That didn't happen at all. And they didn't really get what we were going through until they themselves became parents, so we were fairly isolated. It seemed to be a…
