Ugh yes. I breastfed until 9 months, and I had to go off milk because of my son’s bad gas. It didn’t affect the frequency of the farts, but did affect the smell. When I had milk or ice cream, his farts were like a living sulfuric hell.

I think that slight discontinuity is actually why I liked The Martian Chronicles so much. They were a bunch of short stories in a theme. My favorite two stories is the one about the kid who’s father is an astronaut, and his mother always avoids looking at the stars while he’s off on a mission. And “Dark they were, and…
I had 5 no-shows at my wedding. Four of them called the day or two before to let me know: one couple had a death in the family, they wanted to come so bad, but it was her mother :(, my husband and I completely understood and sent them a condolence card. The other couple came down with a sudden bad case of the flu,…
I have to admit, I’ve been watering down my son’s juice. He loves juice, and since juice is one of the few words he says (speech delayed) I love to give him juice to encourage him talking. But there is just so much sugar, so I water it down.
Miette is a really pretty name! It’s the name of a little girl in a french movie I like (City of Lost Children). I never knew that it wasn’t a “real” name.
Oh yes, I hated him in the first season when I thought he was just a standard hard ass trope. But I think it was when he tried taking command while Adama was out of commission and screwed everything up, but acknowledged it and apologized to Adama, that’s when I loved him.
YES!
Oh my old boss had these glasses! He perfected the art of unsnapping the glasses to take them off in one fluid, swift fashion that looked super cool.*
My husband and I used to bounce our son on our lap while singing “Shake the baby!”
I’m so glad someone suggested Slater! I loved him in Heathers, all throughout college I had a larger Heather’s poster hanging over my bed. I also love Pump Up the Volume. But then he got arrested a bunch of times, got into drugs and vanished.
Have you seen the Station Agent? He’s amazing in that.
Ugh, this means in a couple months TJ Maxx is going to be filled with all of these outfits. And it’s the only place available for me to shop for clothes. Blegh.
In a related note, I learned to love carrots because my mom cooked them with brown sugar, so they were extra tasty. I learned to make them the same way and found that the kids I babysat loved the brown sugar carrots, so I could always get them to eat their carrots.
My husband is the stay at home dad. He does the childcare, food preparation and bill payment and the bulk of the daily cleaning/maintenance of the house. I’m more concerned with making sure he is financially secure if I die. I want to make sure that I have enough life insurance so that although he will need to get a…
Sort of the same, but I have 2 copies of this book for the same reason. One copy I will happily lend out to people and the other copy I never let anyone borrow because it’s autographed by both Pratchett and Gaiman. It’s my precious!
Rising Stars by JMS was also a long time between issues. I’m not sure how long, but I think years? I didn’t start reading it until late, my husband bought me the first two collected graphic novels, which I devoured. Then I asked for the next one and there wasn’t one. I had to wait maybe a year, but my husband had been…
Is that why Fell ended? I loved that comic and then is just stopped. How sad.
Yeah, I pushed for 4 hours, even had to have a forceps assisted vaginal birth.* And I haven’t had any problems with peeing. I will say that for the first 6 months I did think the outer bits felt differently, but they went back to normal as I recovered. But every one’s vagina is different, so this is not to discount…
There can be a lot of reasons why a person would have more than a year to plan. My husband proposed to me in May, and I knew pretty early on I wanted a fall wedding. So my two options were get married in 4-6 months (which would have been way too stressful) or wait 18 months and have more time to plan and not get…
Ah I missed that it was a reread. I’m actually rereading them as well, but I’m only up to Witches Abroad right now.
