Thank you! It has little neon green pockets as well that will hopefully be visible as Mini Phantom tears across the playground :)

I actually never considered the idea that people other than my daughter would like the stuff I make. After all the positive response and similar questions, I'm giving it some serious thought!

What an awesome gift idea! I'd be jazzed to receive it, and I'm neither in the military or a chess player.

I always vote for broad donations to Planned Parenthood - they have some great programs outside of reproductive health (breast cancer help, for instance) that aren't as well noticed as the baby-making parts.

This is pretty much a duplicate post from yesterday, but I was late to the game (buried in the gray) and so many Jezzies were so awesome about my question I wanted to let y'all know I actually went through with things.

I don't get the fascination with the children of celebrities. Sure, the baby pictures are cute, and going "Awww look at the little tiny toes!" is fun but that kind of applies to all babies, not just those that came from the genetic products of famous people. Once they get to be past toddler age though... what's the…

That picture is the best.

Burt's back! Burt's back! Burt's back yeeeeaaah! Another glorious day of lurking in natty sweats for me!

SMG and her daughter are freakin' cute, but I have to admit disappointment at the fact that mini-Buffy doesn't have a stake. Maybe it's in her bag...

"Clown-car vagina clan" is the best description I've heard of Michelle Duggars reproductive organs. Well done.

Thank you!

Some people will say this when they just don't care to go to the bother of looking into it. I'm sorry, I know that sounds horrible. I'm genuinely sorry. However, after living with the exact type of people who won't seek social services because they're too proud or they find it too overwhelming, I can say it's a…

For serious. I have the added advantage, however, of looking them straight in the eye and saying "You know my last name used to be Esquivel after it was Johnson*, before it was Smith, right?"

Shuts them right the fuck up.

*Obvs not the actual names, but you get the idea.

Jaime Dornan will always be a sadistic sexy serial killer in my mind... and I bleeding love him for it.

I don't know about atheism and alcoholism, as my exp has been strictly within the Catholic / Protestant spectrum, but the symptoms you describe are very familiar. Please note that I am currently (and for most of my life have been) an atheist.

My da died when I was fairly young, after exhibiting very similar symptoms…

Thank you! It took a rather large amount of ovaries to even think about calling, let alone following through with it.

Oh poor little girl, did that screen door trick you?

Thank you! It's a really simple pattern, but I'm very pleased with the result :)

DO. IT. My mom gave away all her cross stitch goods when her arthritis got too bad, and she received gifts from almost everyone who received goods from her. My mom is like the female version of Stalin, but she actually ended up crying happy tears. Do it.

Less lurking, more returning, more wombats!

First: A WHOLE DAY OF BURT. HOLY CANOLI, SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES US!

Last week I posted re: this ridiculous, seven year long, head over heels crush I’ve had on a friend and sometimes-coworker, trying to figure out how to get over him and move on when I keep thinking I’m over him, have moved on , and then I see him and…
