(can't write about it in my lj due to offensive antisprog sentiment)


I love my friend K (onyxlynxx) "May you become the person you
choose to be"....so very tactful. Much better than "Good luck with
that personality transplant" which is what *I* thought when I read
all that.

I went to dinner with the polys last night, and it was not the best
gathering. Mostly people I don't find very interesting, and 1 couple
brought their 2 year old and persisted in that really annoying
parenting style of "Now, bratley, what have we discussed? We know
that poking mommy with chopsticks is fun, but it's not nice, so
please stop now, okay?" And then when Daddy finally grew some and put
baby in the high chair and strapped it down and put it next to Mommy
for a while, Mommy batted her eyes at Daddy about 5 minutes later and
said "Oh, Daddy, he's being SO GOOD, can't he please be let out of
his chair now?" Daddy said no, and a few minutes later the fuckfruit
was screeching like a rhesus monkey on crack. Mommy said
"Aww! Look at that little sad face! He's just so cute!" and so on and
so forth while the thing went on with its air-raid siren imitation.
It was not charming in the least. I don't think the father, who sat
next to me and seems like a smart, nice guy, got a full sentence out
of his mouth even once during the evening,and since I'm childfree and
not immune to shrieking like most childed folks, I couldn't keep my
train of thought long enough to have any decent conversation either.
Niki, Nolan, and I left early, went to Albersons for pints of ice
cream, and went to Niki's new place and talked trash about everyone,
so the evening wasn't a total waste. Just mostly.

Ugh.

Gawd, that sounds awful. But your desription is hilarious,
esp. "fuckfruit." :)

I absolutely LOATHE it when people try to be all
reasonable/logical/discussing it with their kids. You don't
negotiate with children. You tell them what to do, they do it or not
do it, and there are consequences (good or bad) for each. That's it.

Well, happy Friday, my dear. It's been a long time coming.

I have to tell you - I am absolutely DELIGHTED with my BC pills. I
got my period this morning, and it's barely a trickle. It's
fabulous. Also, no PMS and only a tiny bit of cramps. I should have
done this years ago.

:)

LOVE YOU,
