home, tired and hurting. Round two tomorrow. {{{{ **McUne and sis** }}}} Nail the the S.O.B. {{{{ **Mom** }}}}. I know how you feel. The zoo will get extra hugs tonight. Haze, I’d drop him like a leaking diaper. ---

I totally forgot…It’s New Year’s Eve again! Russian New Year, so at midnight there will be another bout of firecrackers and gunfire, yippee skippee! Anyway, Happy New Year, again! ---

I keep going and lying down, and then getting up and fussing. I guess some lying down is better than none. One hour till we leave for the hospital. ---

Don’t worry **li-li** , everything is going to be fine, and you will be amazed at how wonderful your baby is, how much you love your husband (after the baby is out 😛 ) and how light you feel…after the baby is out. And because I know that it means something to you, all of you are in my prayers already, and will be until I hear that you have delivered and all is well. God bless you, Mr. Lissar and the babe. It’s so exciting!!! ---

Chin up **LiLi**! You will be fine. And I have no doubt that you and **Mr Lissar** will be fantastic parents! We are all praying for you! ---

Hang in there **Li-Li,** it’s all going to be fine. Frankly, none of us parents had a freakin’ clue when it came time to bring the first baby home. Hell, eighteen years later, I still feel like I’m winging it. We all do the best we can at the time, that’s what matters. I am Croaky McCroaky. Geeze, I sound like that froggy kid. I’m tired, yet again, but can’t seem to lie down and sleep. ---

Good thoughts and prayers headed your way, **LiLi** for a smooth, easy, and fast delivery! I know you’re going to have the most beautiful baby in the world (even if he does look like Winston Churchill – hey, they all do!), and you guys are going to be wonderful parents! I’m off to beddy-bye myself now, too. I’ve continued to struggle with this work all evening, and finally managed to get a bit done; but tomorrow morning comes all too soon, so I’m quitting for the night even though I could probably do another hour. The question is, could the dogs wait another hour in the morning for breakfast or, more importantly, a trip to the back yard? I doubt it! ---

Too many people who need cheering up. Let’s see if I can make a proper list without forgetting anybody… First – {…∞…{ **McUne** }…∞…}. Beyond doubt the most serious thing we’re hearing about right now. It is important on so many levels to **get that bastard’s ass**! :mad: also, {{{{ **Haze** }}}} > [@taxi](#): > > Good luck, Haze. We’re all hear when you need to vent about it. And we’ll all remind you that there are a ton of guys out there who’d love to date you and be exclusive and not put you in second place. Actually, I think half of the male MMPers would get in that line. You’re beautiful and smart and fun and deserve a hell of a lot better than second place for anyone. But then again, if you don’t want a serious relationship right now and are happy with something casual that doesn’t get any more complicated than that, well then just remember than YOU’RE using HIM and go on having fun. Quoted for truth. Better said than I ever could. Good luck figuring out what it is that will work best _for you_, and following through with it. Finally, one more special hug for {{ **FCM** }}. More of a group hug for {{ **MsPearl** }} and the washing machine woes; {{ **Rosie** , **Swampy** , **Taters** … }} with Teh Sick, and a whole slew of people just having that general off day… **Doggie** , **Rigs** , **ems** … who else have I forgotten? ☹ But there are happy things going on, too 🙂 Props to \*\*Sean \*\*and \*\*GT \*\*for the raises. By this time, \*\*\*TNC \*\*\*may be making his appearence – _Mazel Tov_, **Lili** , if so! \*\*Cutie \*\*and \*\*Shadow \*\*-- seems you had pretty good, even if not great, days, too. Keep them coming! 🙂 Hi!! \*\*Nava \*\*and **Spaz**. \*\*Snakes \*\*still seems to be MIA somewhere in job-land… if you’re reading this, a big wave and a “hi!” to you as well. Anyone I haven’t mentioned – be thankful; it means you seem to be doing OK right now… 🙂 Me, I’m just watching the night shift, making sure the pipes don’t freeze up here while all the 'Merkins sleep 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Noone Special] who else have I forgotten? [/QUOTE] _ahem_ Looks like the whole of the MMP needs _hugs_ today, I won’t name everyone personally 'cos I’m likely to cause offence by missing someone out…but you can all have some _hugs_ and chocolate. Never too early for chocolate, is it? **LiLi** , I’m no great lover of babies (or kids in general, come to think of it) but even I’m looking forward to finally seeing **tnc**. Must be something in the water, you think? Other than that, I’m overloaded with work and everything on my desk has today as a deadline. That’s what happens when your team of six becomes a team of one. And pay rises? Haven’t seen one of those in the last three years and am unlikely to see one this year either since the Uni changed their pay review processes and the new system doesn’t really kick in until April. ---

In my case it would breeding activities without the breeding part at the end of it! I’m fortunate to have absolutely no maternal instincts whatsoever so I get all the fun and none of the stress. ---
