Random notishness
A friend from work called tonight and asked to borrow Mr. Plain's cigar cutter. (He quit a year or so ago, yet retains the accoutrements.) He's going to bring it into the office tomorrow to give to our friend. Every ONE of you think good thoughts/pray that he needs it because he's announcing a new child.
They have a kid who is about 8. They, OK, his wife, had enough of pregnancy the first time around. (Dude, she couldn't even SEE!) They have talked about adopting an older child before. Let this be THAT. hope hope hope. I like them a lot and that would be great.

(Vegetarian alert. Look away!) We're going away to a small town for Thanksgiving and thinking of going to a turkey farm on the way and picking up a freshly, um, 'deaded' turkey for Thanksgiving. I'm thinking that our kids won't be scarred by this. Am I naive?

Kids should be ok, as long as they, you know, dont watch the bird's head cut off and feathers removed…..I mean they see the stuff at the store and dont freak out….
took my two ages to make a connection between walking around type animals and the stuff on the plate. in fact, i think they've only just twigged at 12 years old ….
carmachu — Whoops, I should have said that we weren't going to be there when they offed the turkeys!
mad muthas — I just wonder if they'll make any connection at all. Guess I'll have to wait and see!
[...] In other news, No. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, damnit. Serves me right for getting excited for the lives I imagine others having! Technorati: adoption, cigars, pillows, rupert, sleep [...]

"Parents who choose a stroller that seats their baby facing away from them could risk long-term development problems in their children" -- I call BULLSHIT. Why is this being made an issue?
Need a new sewing machine? Polliwogged is giving away two Singer Curvys.
Holy crap.
Oh Christina, there's no shame at all. And good for you for deciding to fight for your marriage.
OK, we're all meeting Laura at pickup today and we're going to kick ass and take names.
Amen.
Loralee is at the hospital with a major kidney infection. Hustle over and tell her something funny.
Perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself.
YAY Simone!!
Sounds heavenly, but I'm left wondering what in the world is a "Teutonic spank?"
Congrats! (And I totally better be in that 20 or I'm going to cut you at BlogHer!)
