Bwwwaaaahahahahaha, you are right, what was I thinking.

SS, with the red face.

PS, how is CC these days?


I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Let's move from talking about sex to just plain being gross. Well, it's a Dervish story - is there another kind?

Neaksis had her baby back last weekend. (Side note, AJ adores the little thing. I can't stand to do anything with babies, and yet in a bittersweet way I enjoy watching AJ enjoy the baby. Even though it's a bit hard for me, it's obvious that holding her and loving her and snuggling her does a lot of good for him.)

So anyway. Neaksis, baby. Dervish gets in trouble and throws a fit when he is disciplined in the rear. (Grandpa always laughs and says, "When you sit upon a tack, if at first you do not get the point, you will get it in the end.") We were all gathered around trying really hard not to laugh at his horrid faces. He is so ugly when he squalls like that, his mouth a dripping red gash in his face, eyes all squinty and tear-filled. Nothing in all that drool arouses the least maternal instinct, but he gets so mad when people laugh at him.

He was mad enough already (did I mention he was shirtless?) when Neaksis leaned toward him to sweetly shoot his illogical ravings all to pieces, when the baby decided to projectile vomit.......all over the poor Dervish.

You should have heard the whoops and hollers, and that was just the grownups. How he howled in indignation as the eight people in the kitchen shrieked mirthfully at his agony!

Much time later, what finally put a smile on his face was when I told him that when he was a baby he threw up on a lot of people, too.

Morning or is it afternoon ..I just got up awhile ago <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


AUSSIE is swearing right now .. Ooooh I dont even know how to SPELL that one - he announed last night he didn't need his pain & anti inflammatory meds any more .. I did quietly try to advise him that he should wait until the MO gave him clearance

now he is having massive cramp like pain .. you can actually see the muscles ripple up & down his leg & thigh.

I just wordlessly handed him the magnesium, the tabs & one use injections, some sort of Diamorphine I think, and sat down with Mikey who is trying to find out 'whats going on?' .. I wouldn't dare smile <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />


Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Neak this IS normal, dont worry too much right now, it will change I am sure. One of my very very secret deep fears when pregnant with Mikey was 'after Peter could I love this child as much?'
That lasted all but a moment after I first held him. I knew I could, but would I? Different question.
of course I do, I just didn't want to be so vunerable because I may get hurt again so much.
Sometimes we are so confusing aren't we?

I just love that Dervish lol
he is so the typical boy you just have to hug the little guy .. of course thats between wanting to strangle him at times hahaha

I saw Neaksis' house today, which is being worked on by AJ, Neakbro, and Charred&Broiled, at least what's left of the man after a few years with his wife, the Charbroiler. More fool him for dropping his interest in Neaksis for the sake a flashy cover with one of those bodice-ripping pictures hinting at the story contained within its pages. He didn't know how much of the bodice ripping would be with other guys, while he stayed home and tried to hold the marriage together. I think he'd do well on this site, but he's not ready yet. Right now we're just getting him comfortable back in the family group, since he's special to all of us and yet we aren't willing to ditch Neaksis just to make the prodigal feel at home again. So they working out their nervous fidgets in being around each other again, and building a house at the same time. What a wonderful combo!

I'm going to bed. It's 7:30 PM, and awfully late for someone like me on my one night off per week. Nice weekend to you all...especially to Believer, who looks like she's about due for an appearance in public, wearing either a [color:"red"]red[/color], [color:"blue"]blue[/color], or [color:"purple"]purple[/color] [color:"red"]cape[/color] [color:"blue"]of[/color][color:"purple"] POWER[/color]. Regal, majestic, glowing, crowned with a tiara, and very hopelessly far above the supplicant. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Sounds like a good weekend to me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

P.S. AW and AW's mum--the more publically you enjoy Neak's book, laughing at her jokes when Aussie's within earshot, talking about it when he can't help but hear--but never directly at him--don't you think you could get him interested in reading it for himself? I would think that if you got him through the first chapter, he'd be hooked. It's got soldiers in it, after all, even if they are only "Cenurions!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

If he hurts your feelings, we could break his other leg! Or, an arm!! His gun toting arm...maybe, then they wouldn't let him go back. And he could stay home with AW and Mikey.

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.

The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we
have to repeat everything to men...

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

SS, what documentary was that from?

Cinderella, he wouldn't mind a bit. His gun toting arm is also his nappie changing arm.

Well, we could keep him home longer!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hey, what OTC painkillers do you recommend for strained trapezious muscles. I got all of them when I fell today. Landed on my seat on a box but got my neck and shoulders in a big way. Headed back to icepack city. But I don't know whether conventional wisdom favors aspirin, ibuprofen, acetamenophin, or naproxin.

Naproxin takes longer to build up therapeutic blood levels, if memomry serves. Ibuprofen is really good, according to a lot of people; I've never been too impressed with it for me, but that could be just me. Tylenol is OK, but at extra-strength levels (3 regular Tylenol instead of 2). But if I were the one who was hurting, I'd take aspirin, in the absence of something with codeine in it...in which case, codeine would win, hands down, every time.
