CoPilot: Just be a friend. Let his behaviour be your guide. If he wants to talk, he'll talk. If he wants to pretend everything is normal, that's what he'll do. Just be there.

Whitefall: Welcome back! What exactly is PST? All I can come up with is Pyscho-Sexual Tension, which is what me and mine always called the dynamic between Mulder and Scully and could be said of Mal and Inara

GED: Calling sucks. If you called her, leave it. It's her turn and if you call too much, you'll scare her off.

Oh, and yippee on the date. I'm a little jealous...although not really because dating makes me nauseated.

Edited: What's up with the thread title? We've been here before, yes? Tristan, do you need more coffee?

Thanks Rug, yeah I'm gonna let her call me. Well, I guess technically I should have said PDT, as I was referring to Pacific Daylight Time. But I am currently CST, so that's why I used that.

DAMN IT! DID it again...This is MrsG...ARGH must change log in
OK this whole thread title shift is weirding me out..Whew I am beat. My cute freind Allie is out of town. She has 5 ( yes 5 this is Utah people try to keep up) 4 boys ages 13, 11, 9, and 5 and 1 little girl who is 18 months. So while she is out of town I am helping out ( these are also the kids I tutor) I go over at 8 am and dad leaves. I fix breakfast, get the kids up, dressed, and fed. Then we get all the beds made and the house picked up from the tornado like state it is in. Then we tutor for a while and the boys go out to play. Then I fix a casserole dinner and fix lunch. After that play with baby girl until boys come in for lunch. Feed and clean up from lunch. Make sure house is perfectly clean and such and all dad has to do for dinner is heat and eat. Dad gets home about 1 pm... Then tomorrow do it all again ( because sadly, by the time I get there it won't matter how clean I left it, it will look like a recent hurricane has passed though.) This is why one kid is plenty!!! Today I had the cheerful surprise that dad let boys have sleep over so there were an extra 5 kids in the house needing feeding and cleaning up after. Then 3 more kids came to play so I started to think WWFMFD( what would Future Mrs. Fillion do) I sent all the boys out to play at friends houses and cleaned up with just baby girl.
OK rant done:)

so here's a nice imponderable to go with my previous ( and annoyingly posted under husbands name) post

Are women naturally better at mothering or is it just centuries of practice? ( this is not meant to be rude to dads, just statistically and observationally most care giving is mom's job...also most laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc..)

Thats the worst. Wish I could scrap the "whose turn to call" idea altogether. Guess its her turn. Don't forget a friendly reminder call. Although, kinda depends on how well/long you've known her.

Rugbug- Psycho Sexual Tension. Re-read Ged's previous post with that in mind. Still giggling.

I've been griping about the heat wave. Not because its hot (its actually very cool in Nevada right now) but because the focus has been on how it relates to Los Angeles and New York. People in between have been roasting thier parts off for a month, but the news worries so much about the mouth and a-hole of the country so much.
And our on going military activity. I hope anyone listening will take my advice. If you are interested in seeing some truth about those issues, read Soldier of Fortune magazine. I'd read it since I was twelve. Anything truthful I'd heard from others or seen myself that may have been reported on in that magazine was either true or corrected for accuracy later. Just tired of the crap out there. I hope that anyone who has other truth related information sources will share them with the rest of us.

Good news. My little brother is a new daddy. Eight pounds, twenty one inches, and a girl. Can't stop beaming. Found out yesterday but it just now sunk in.

NVG, no fair mentioning ice cream!

RugBug...I...uh...as far as the title goes, I used one from the past by mistake. Then I changed it...but every now and then it still pops back as the old one. You should see something about Birnam woods and Dunsinane...
I do not blame the lack of coffee, I blame the lack of thinking.

I am sorry I made a mistake with the naming of the thread. I promise next time to do better! We aren't at the point of needing a new one yet, so hang in there.

Ok, I should have said PDT, I meant the time zone, in california. That PST-PDT thing.

Woot, gratz, UNCLE NV!!! (Take THAT!!!)

Lol, MSG, you have an interesting summer job. But lol at "WWFMFD". That just cracks me up.

EDIT: Are women better mothers? I'd say that maternal instinct is very real, but that does not mean that men cant and arent dads in the same way. However, I do often look at dads (I was in three airports yesterday, glasgow, philly and SF, good sampling of baby folk) and I find a lot of the dads are quick to anger at their toddlers. Not ANGER anger, but they do seem sorta annoyed by the kid. Not a good sign. But of course all the folk I saw could have been horribly jetlagged.

You're griping about the heat? Try living in a state with 100% humidity. Oh, and having your power out.

Like I said, its pretty cool in NV. Just sick of the Ass and Mouth of the US getting all the attention.

WWFMFD. So much for not laughing out loud, looking like a complete psycho.

Mothers. Depends on the case.

Crap, gotta work.
