Momma Mo be safe, and try to have fun. we’ll miss you.
Mipiace, alergies do suck. I nver had alergies before I moved to DC. found out I am alergic to those pink trees that all the tourist come to see in the spring. what’s worse, is the main grove of them is right next to our rugby field. I hate spring games. thank og for claritin.
Dreamer, check your comments, I added one about yoru mices problem.

Is it just me or has tanookie disapeared. Where are you?
For that matter where is everyone?
Mo I realize I am late with this, but travel safe.

I’m here… I just don’t have all that much to post is all…
My glamorous life of feedings and diaper changes doesn’t translate well into dating advice…
Although if my brain were functioning correctly I could make a few Eddie Izzard references to the almighty ‘cup of coffee’ as a pick up technique 
t glad that you are well. I like hearing about the munchkins too, althouhg maybe not the diaper changing parts. Not that changing diapers is all that bad. I have never understood that particular movie/tv gag, I changed my 1st diaper when I was 11 (well, it was not my diaper it was Ben’s diaper, and he was 2 years old so his wearing diapsers was acceptable and my changing it was not obsene) and it was no problem, no one had to show me how to do it, it did not fall of, and the smell, compared to walking into the bathroom after my dad, was nothin’.
anyway, where was I, oh yeah, not talking about dirty diapers, the stuff about the cute faces they make and all the other my kid is better then all the other kids ever, I find really endearing, so don’t hold back on my account.
As to the mis-functioning brain (well we all suffer from that here) but given the 2 (count 'em two) munchkins you have I think you get a permanent get out of Jail free card.
Dreamer this goes for you to anytime the midgets wake you up before 7.
Don’t feel bad. So did I, and I was a bio major, which meant taking organic chemistry (which I’m guessing is what Iva is calling “orgo”).

This is an attitude I’ve always agreed with. We’re in the minority, in this goup, however.
Actually, I’m somewhere over the rainbow. I don’t think I shoulda slept in that flower patch, though. I keep seeing things that look like flying monkeys, now.
Count your blessings.
Ummm…no. As if I’d show my face in public (or photos!) with that lame-ass lipstick beard. What was he thinking? But, I do like his ladyfriend’s costume.
I thought only the trees in Oz did that. You been sleeping amidst the poppies, too?
Feel free, when you’re more functional. He’s a funny bastard, but I haven’t heard that bit, that I can recall. If I get the gist of it, I agree with him. (As, apparently, did Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, when they wrote Good Will Hunting, not that that’s terribly encouraging.) As a non-imbiber, I find it awkward to ask someone out for a cup of coffee, and then have to explain that I don’t actually intend to drink the vile stuff, myself.
Well I haven’t had a lot of sleep… up with an unhappy child for the hours between 1 and 5am but I’ll give the Izzard thing a shot
According to Eddie ‘do you want a cup of coffee?’ is the international language of ‘do you want to have sex with me?’ but only if you keep the conversation sexy. He does a whole bit on how he likes his coffee…
‘I like my women like I like my coffee… strong and hot.’
‘With a spoon in them?’
Aaah the curve of the spoon like the curve of your breast… I like to run my tongue along…
Then he does a whole bit where the president of burundi asks him if he wants a cup of coffee and he’s forced to admit that sometimes the question really does just mean ‘do ya want a cup of coffee?’
Funny bit… off of Dress to Kill. Where cake or death comes from and the whole do you have a flag sequence. I’m heartily disappointed that he came to boston in october and I was unable to go due to baby things.
I have 4? of his shows… maybe the boston contingent could have pizza and popcorn and an eddie marathon someday?
God bless my 3 lovely children. I got to sleep until 7:30 this morning. 
Iva I like my mental pictures of people too, but they are almost always terribly inaccurate, but fun. 
Oh why thank y ou, I was beginnnin’ to think this thread was loosin’ it’s touch.
My friends+ is out of commission these days so I am in need of someone to make me pant. It hink we should crank up the hot tub. We’ve all been terribly remiss and way too responsible.

Sounds good to me. We just need to find a decent pizza place. I discovered that the one I knew of, in Malden, is gone. Dammit!
Your friend’s “plus” is out of commission? I’ve never heard it called that.
The tub’s ready, the bar is stocked, and we’ve got plenty of nose snorkels. Slip on in, and sit next to me.
Oh, and someone make sure Iva knows the tub is nude-only.
You’ve never heard of friends plus?..you’ve led a sheltered life honey…c’mere and let me show ya what that’s all about. Oh but fetch me something very strong and majorly alcoholic first…
I’ve found a place that makes an excellent greek pizza and the rest of the stuff we’ve tried it prety good too… not Christo’s good but as close as I think I’m going to get around here!
Will they deliver to the hot tub?
sniff Wish, I lived in Boston 
Guess I will have to make due with the hot tub, make room.
really Dave, like I would ever wear a suit in a hot tub, if I were wearing a suit, I would have to due laps, and that would be exercise, and why do exercise when I can get my blood warm just sitting here.
Dave could I get a whiskey. Thanks.
One of the best things about hot tubs in the winter is doing rolls in the snow, then jumping back in the tub, sort of like the polar bear club for weenies
Yes, orgo is Organic Chem. Did they not deal with chirality when you took organic, or had you just not used the word since then (why would you). (I am taking biology again and being reminded of all sorts of nifty terminology that I had not used in over 10 years).
Mipiace Very glad that the trees in Houston did not take you out completely, although it sounds like they came too close for comfort certainly. Having lived in AZ for two years, may I suggest Tucson over Phoenix, phoenix is the 10th circle of hell as far as I am concerned. So awful Dante could not bear to put the words to paper. Tucson however is lovely. (I am of course assuming that you have the same social/political interests I do, which is not necessarily the case).
Ok, I just spell checked this post, and wow can I not spell. God bless spell check.
I beg to differ Iva one of the best things about hot tubs in the winter is sitting in one watching the snow fall at night… ahhhh so nice. Too bad we don’t get that much snow here. 
Hmm best things about hot tubs in winter…that’s tough there are so many. I love the way they get all steamy when it’s snowy outside. I love it after a day on the slopesw when you are all sore and achy and you get to snuggle up to someone naked and wet. I love to get way to hot inthe hot tub and pop out into the cold snow (yeah love that too Iva) to get another drink. I love “water sports” in the hot tub…yep that’s my favorite…gotta be.
I’ve been in Texas too long. I think I am beginning to miss the snow.
I’m gonna hop in the tub just to warm my ole bones! 75 degrees last week, 45 this. I am sooooo not ready for cold weather! brrrrrrrr
Ya might be if you were lookin’ forward to a hot tub with someone cozy…
You and Iva seem pretty cozy!
Sooooo much to respond to …
I think I’ll put it off till tomorrow…
