Mommy Monster replied to wookie's discussion 'support a young animator'"Bummer. No flash for us so I can't see it. :("
Mommy Monster replied to Kiwi's discussion 'The Miracles of Modern Science'"That is totally cool!!!
"
Mommy Monster replied to wookie's discussion 'Politeness'"I like this topic. I have a huge hard-on for etiquette (how's that for irony). But my thing is....know the rules so you can break them when it's ok to do so.
One of the first thing I taught my kids was phone etiquette and it was driven by…"
Mommy Monster replied to SweetJudyB's discussion 'Why didn't I go all Mama Bear?'"I agree. Saying anything to make children feel less safe is awful. Even if E did t feel like he needed "saving", something like that could put the idea in his head. I'm sorry this happened.
I'm terrible at doing this myself but…"
Mommy Monster replied to RBridwell's discussion 'Bad Business Name'"Oh, I totally thought the same thing you did. Drops...droppings....scat....poop. Heh heh heh.
But maybe I'm just puerile."
Mommy Monster replied to StitchyWench's discussion 'Teaching about love'"I love the way you write about this. Sounds like she's on a really good path with a really good teacher."
Mommy Monster replied to ruth's discussion 'Weirdest fear'"Steam. Meredith had an ungodly fear of steam for a while. Not actual steam, mind you, but more the idea of steam, and whatever form steam took in her dreams.
The only thing I can figure is a connection she made when she had croup at about two and a…"
Mommy Monster replied to Diggy's discussion 'The Girl and The Wife'"Just wanted to offer support. And one more vote for therapy. If you've been noticing this for a while, I'd better the Girl is picking up on it too, although maybe not consciously. Especially if she perceives she's responded to…"
Mommy Monster replied to Herasmus B. Dragon's discussion 'Imaginary internet friends'"You all mean so much to me. I am old enough to still feel slightly weird about that (having grown up before the interwebs and all) but I know you all get it. They say that often you create your own families and that's what you guys…"
Mommy Monster replied to Alan's discussion 'The Story of O'"I am so, so, so immensely grateful for this place. I love FB, but there are a lot of bigger issues/questions that I would never feel comfortable posting there. Here I can just let it all out and no one thinks I'm crazy. Or at…"
Mommy Monster replied to mcglory13's discussion 'For all the many folks with more than one child...'"I love that you are so OK with this statement.
"
Mommy Monster replied to mcglory13's discussion 'For all the many folks with more than one child...'"I'd always wanted two kids. I liked the idea of not increasing the overall population (seriously even as a kid I thought that), but I wanted two - for me, for them, for my family.
I come from a family with three. I'm the oldest…"
mcglory13 replied to Mommy Monster's discussion 'Endometrial biopsy'"I haven't had it, but I'm sorry you have to. I generally prefer all medical devices stay far away from that area. While I didn't mind the dildo cam too much, the run in with the sonar thingy they use for the Mirena coil makes me…"

Random thoughts that are floating through my mind, wanted to be shouted out loud along with stamping of feet, but too shameful to share except here on OS, where the world is not so judgy.
Boyfriend, I'm glad that you are here taking care of MIL, she's happy to have you here and so am I. But oh my fucking god sometimes you are captain incabable. Learn how to make a cup of coffee for yourself! And empty your goddamn ashtray once in a while.

Anyone ever read "I, Anonymous" in The Stranger ("Seattle's Only Newspaper")? Here's mine. Feel free to add your own....
(PS Can't bitch about this on FB due to frienship with subjects noted below)
1. Why, dearest husband, when we have overnight guests arriving in less than 6 hours and the house is a freaking DISASTER of dust, mess, clutter and reno detritus, do you decide that NOW is when the light switch in the basement needs to be painted because "it's…

I have trouble with insomnia so my doc gave me a scrip for generic ambien/lunesta/equivalent. It works great and generally leaves me with no "hangover" the next day. However, I have been using it more and more frequently and now it's generally every night. It's not a physical dependence, but I think more of a psychological one. I've been thinking I should really wean myself.
Well, last night, I came home after traveling all week. I was exhausted, but still took my pill.…

As The Oracle mentioned in a recent post, medical professionals will often ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10, one being no pain and ten being pure agony. I find this helpful because pain is very subjective - there's no way to measure it in absolute terms, so a 4 for you may be a 7 for me. But still, it's my 7 and I want some relief.
When my daughter was in the worst of her medical crisis two years ago, she would frequently give a 9 or a 10 and it would break…

I've been kind of MIA lately, but thought I would post a quick update. I developed a massive wound infection from my incision and was readmitted to the hospital for a week. They reopened the wound completely (in the ER with only lidocaine and dilaudid for pain, which trust me was not enough) to let it drain and left it open for about 3 days. Loki said it was roughly 8-9 inches long and about 4-5 inches deep. He said he could have put his hand into it. The doc said he could actually see my… Continue
