Anyone getting married, boning anyone interesting, decided to run for office, FINALLY PUSHED OUT A BABY ALREADY? Just checking in. I don't feel like talking politics.

Some random topics:

--Just started watching Boss with Joph yesterday. I like it because it a) features Chicago, b) makes it easy to continue hating Kelsey Grammar. I know I should hold his RL persona and TV persona as separate, but **** it, he's a douchedribble.

--I just realized I may have to go gluten-free due to my overall ****** post-baby health, and I am celebrating bread this week. Anyone eat gluten-free?

--I have realized I can hypnotize the baby out of a tantrum by slowly counting to ten. If I count to thirty he is like a limp, spacey doll. Ever stumbled upon a truly effective disciplinary technique like that?

--When I was younger, the only video game I only enjoyed was Ultima. I liked killing stags in the forest, eating them, making clothing and breaking into people's houses to bake bread. I never found any ****, I think I found a dragon or something once but who cares. I need a game like this where I don't have to pay $5 for 20 Hello Kitty coins to buy my puppy a Santa costume.

Pick, discuss.

I've found a swift smack to the hand, when done moderately, quells any temper tantrum.

I don't default to hitting unless he is reaching for a hot stove or anything, and frankly, he's so young it doesn't register as a punishment so why bother for me. A simple "Nuh-uh-uh" reduces him to tears.

It amuses me that Skyrim would be close to perfect for someone who just wants to make pot pies and tomato soup all day, roam around people's homes, pick flowers, chase butterflies and hassle the occasional deer or rabbit.

It's too bad that you'd have no interest in killing things. You could be the first person in the history of the game who's excited to fight their way to the bottom of an ancient catacomb and find a barrel of cabbages.

Sadly, Skyrim doesn't have tailoring.

You can craft leather armor though, and I think there are mods that let you craft regular clothes as well.

Her netbook isn't going to play Skyrim anyway so it's pretty academic.

A good friend of mine has to eat gluten-free, and she swears by Whole Foods. Honestly, I've tried some of the stuff she buys, and it's not half bad.

In the past three weeks, my mother has been in the hospital for a possible heart attack, my oldest came down with croup and now the infant has a cold (and the rest of us are all sick, too). It's been very tough around here lately.

In better news, I scored a nice keyboard, and a small secondary monitor (both Dell) from work yesterday. Now I just gotta de-clutter this place so I can set the second monitor up...

Kelsey Grammar rocks.

There are several gluten free beers on the market that are quite tasty. DO NOT buy rice bread, it's really just a loaf of overcooked rice.

mimic the rhythm of your heartbeat, and make the standard "shhhhshing" sound. Anything to make the baby think it's in the womb short of actually reinserting said baby.

I heard Ultima is like that game.

No it's not bad, just mad expensive. I can shop Jewel for organic and such, I just bought an awesome salmon filet at Dominick's. It just means more planning and cooking at home, both of which have become pretty hateful chores to me since the baby. My energy is zero and I get home and it seems like he is just an attention and energy vortex. I can't imagine making gluten free pancakes. I just want to throw a mcmuffin at everyone in my family.

Yikes, I hope everyone feels better. That sucks when the kids are sick. We have so many computers, I think we're finally tapped out--we even bought one from woot for Joph Jr for Christmas...

Not a beer gal. I read white wine and other liquors are out, but red is in? I wonder why. Also, some lists allow rice and some don't. Same with taters.

My baby hasn't been in the womb for 20 months. I don't think I can fool him anymore. The other day I tried whispering to him to be quiet, and he whispered back, "No."

Besides, you can hook them all together and develop Skynet.

To steal a line from the new Tim Allen sitcom, Do your panties say "booty"?

(hopefully you pull off the outfit as well as Nancy Travis does!)

Since Ray Bradbury died, I figured I might as well read some of his books that I haven't read in a while. So, I bought this. It showed up on my doorstep today. I'll be spend my free time reading that.

Also, a stray cat decided to start living in my yard. It had kittens. Now, I have four homeless cats living in my yard. The mother is fairly friendly, I suspect someone may have dropped her off when they realized she was pregnant. The kittens are actually pretty cute. but shy. So far only one of them will let me touch it. The others will let me get close, but run off if I try to pet them. They're about the right age to be on their own, I'm hoping to find homes for them.

Nope, but that's a neat idea! I should totally find some that say that.

@Demea: Yes. This is significant to me, because I'm over 200 miles away from my primary and other guys. So yay for me having someone to cuddle and do other stuffs with on a regular basis again. Smiley: grin
