Good move. If you're having raging hormones like my wife, then you will care about this thread and hang on it's every word. Don't people realize that (i) everyone else doesn't realize that I can't be reasoned with now (ii) blue and pink are for people like CtD who don't really care enough to take time out of their busy lives to put thought into a gift that you will only use for a month before your offspring outgrows it so he will choose the easiest and most non-offensive color.
TM
Don't necessarily blame the giver. Do you know how much f@#$%g work I have to put in to buy my friends girl stuff that *isn't* pink frilly lacy sparkly drag-queen crap? I wish I could an incosiderate prick like CtD and just give a gift certificate.
Shouldn't this stuff go on the new Estrogen board? Here is some new-baby advice for the childless friends.
1) look at baby and force a smile--on yourself, not the baby.
2) say: "Ohhhh, it is so 'cute', it has your [least offensive feature] and the husband's [least offensive feature]." Do NOT say that it has the "father's" features, b/c you never know who the real father is and mentioning this can cause tension.
3) while in the apartment drop your empty class and, a few minutes later, something else in a very clumsy fashion. This will keep the parents from asking you to hold their new poop machine.
4) if step 3 doesn't work and they insist on handing you their child, say something odd like "I'm allergic" or "no thanks, I just ate". This will usually make the maternal protectiveness kick in and they will put the child somewhere else.

Her BBC bio contains an article that mentions she used to be a topless model. In the US, she'd probably making every effort to hide that fact.
Seems like every woman on this board is getting pregnant. Congrats to all.
Jack Manfred
I know nothing about this woman but I can say with certainty that she is gay.
I have no idea whether she is gay or not (irrelevant to her sexiness, IMHO), but google certainly revealed the fact that she was, indeed, a model in a former life, and posed with little or no clothing.

I think my Changing Rooms gaydar is being hopelessly jammed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. There's no way that guy's straight. And yet, he is.
On the other side of the pond, I'm deeply skeptical of Frank Bielec's claims regarding his matrimonial status. NTTAWWT.
Speaking of Trading Spaces, anyone see this Saturday's Las Vegas episode? I'm torn --- was the woman really that pissed off, or was she playing it up? I believe the cursing was real, but the storming off and hitting her friend seemed a little forced.

Maybe he's married but not straight (or at least not completely straight). If only he was married to an Asian woman, so we could be sure... I remember the Changing Rooms episode where they redid two churches. LLB made some quip about how, back in the day, he would have been burned at the stake by the people in this building.

The Vegas episode was the one with the brown walls? I thought she was more play-whacking her friend than actually going for blood. If she didn't like brown, she should have written that down as her absolute 'no-no' on the form they have you fill out. And she also should've stopped acting like an ungrateful bitch because, as she asked to do, she did get to be on TV and have a designer do her room for free knowing that the outcome might not be her dream room.

Did anyone see Charlie from Bachelorette on Blind Date? He came off as a conceited asshole. Granted his date was a freak with a boyfriend who told him that she had an open relationship (whaaaaa?).
Apparently Charlie was really searching for love or wanted to be on tv really badly. The Blind Date was shot before Bachelorette.

LLB's official website has a picture, but I can't link directly to it because it's a Shockwave site. She's Anglo. Looks like a bottle blonde to me. The mystery continues . . . .
As for the TS woman with the brown walls, the credits sequence where she's waling on her friend looked jocular enough. But she looked genuinely pissed as she walked off camera. I bet Laurie cried herself to sleep that night. Serves her right for laughing at the husband's mullet. We in the service industries know you don't fuck with the client; it's bad karma if nothing else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do parents, such as one's relatives or one's friends, cheerfully and sincerely ask if others would like to change their baby as if that would be some kind of privilege? (I'm talking about actual offers, not friendly jokes here.) I don't plan on having my own baby to scrape up after; much less do I want to wipe the stinking dripping butt of someone else's.
What kind of response are parents expecting? Is this supposed to be a bonding ritual between baby and aunt/grownup? A break for the parent from the unpleasant part of parenting by passing the kid off to someone you think won't say no (understandable)? Unwanted vocational training? And why does no one ask the Mr., as if I alone had some sort of dirty-diaper-loving gene?
Much appreciated. Because if I have to say a smiling 'no thanks' as if I actually appreciated the offer one more time, instead of showing my surprise and repulsion at being asked, I'm gonna shriek. Or hurl--I have a pretty sensitive nose.

What I can't figure out is why anyone coming into a house with children as incredible as ours wouldn't want to (a) fawn all over them in every way; (b) spend lots of time entertaining them while the elder Greedies sneak upstairs; (c) change their diapers and feed them, both because these visitors are friends who want us to have a break and because like all normal people they have overwhelming parental urges which, due to their sorry state of childlessness, are unsatisfied and gnawing away at them.
And, if they seek to deny these urges by, say, smiling and saying no thanks, it really is incumbent on us to help them get in touch with their inner parentness by forcing kid poop on them.
Now, granted, it may be that this perspective on the world is caused by my near catatonic state from being perpetually sleep deprived, or from the incredible surges of parental pride (may be hormonal) resulting from having perfect children, but this really is my world. Does understanding this help?

I think all the women are so unaccomplished on the Bachelor because they are young. I didn't catch how old the Bachelor is but I think he's younger than all the other candidates. Since I massively overslept yesterday I caught him on Regis & Tony Danza, what's up with the his hair gelled into a fake mohawk?
Besides, Trent(?) the attorney from Denver was waaay cuter. Trent if you read the board PM me!
Lastly, How has this blog never been brought to our attention. French food & Buffy. I have been hopelessly trying to catch up since I found out about it.

Then lets put Carol in the DeeDee Myers/Mary Carillo category o f "They're straight? No way".
And by the way, that second gal is what my mental image of leagl is , except that leagl has longer curlier hair. I of cours ehav eno idea what leagl looks like so this cant be outable, its just what I imagine her to look like for some reason. Kind of like how I picture bilmore to look like bennyhill.

No. I'm more confused than ever. Your children are surely perfect. (Though honestly I don't have much interest in 'em until they're really sentient, say about age 3.) But I'm even more convinecd when they're not pooping or spitting up on me.
Isn't the sneaking away thing why God invented babysitters? (Trust me when I say they're better off with some dopey 13 year old than with me.)

Who's the mack?
is it some nigga wit' a big hat
Thinking he can get any bitch wit' a good rap?
Rolling in a fucked-up Lincoln
Leaning to the side so it looks like he's sinking
Into that leopard interior
This nigga thinks every girl's inferior
To his tongue, get a dumb bitch sprung
As she's selling more butt
Don't even get a cut
of the money
His name is Sonny
And he know the play
And hope to God that he don't find a runaway
That's looking to become a star
He'll have your ass in and out of every car
With every on and Rick, sucking every joooohn's dick
Come short of the money, get your ass kicked
You don't like it but you still call him hunk
Last night the nigga put yo' ass in the trunk
You wanna leave but Sonny started talking fast
And it make you wanna go and sell more ass
He's getting rich, you his bitch and it's like that
Now ask yourself
Who's the mack?
Who's the mack?
It is that fool that wanna pump the gas
Give you a sad story and you give him cash?
He starts macking and macking and you sucking
He's quick to say I'm down on my luck an'
you give a dollar or a quarter and he's on his way
Then you see his sorry ass the next day
Are you the one getting played like a sucka?
Or do you say, "Get a job, motherfucker"?
Every day, the story gets better
He's wearing dirty pants and a funky-assed sweater
He claims he wants to get something to eat
But every day you find yourself getting beat
He gets your money and run across the street
don't look both ways
'cause he's in a daze
And almost get his ass hit for the crack
Now ask yourself
Who's the mack?
Who's the Mack?
Is it that nigga in the club asking,
"Have you ever been in a hot tub?"
I know the game so I watch it unfold
When i see the boy pinned to your earlobe
He's talking shit and you crack a smile
When he tell you that he can go buck wild
For a girl like you and make it feel good
You know it's drama but it sound real good
He started dragging and hopefully he can start tagging
The pussy so he can keep bragging
He say, "I'm 'a leave, baby, can you go with me?"
You wanna do it but you feeling like a H-O-E
You grab his hand, you leave and it's over
'Cause the nigga ain't nothing but a rover
Ya knew the game and you still ended up on your back
Now ask yourself
Who's the Mack?
Macking is the game and everybody's playing
And as long as you believe what they saying
Consider them a M.A.C.K. and with no delay
They are gonna get all the play

My point merely is that you should assume the parents are, for a variety of reasons, half out of their minds and essentially on drugs and really don't know what they're doing. I think part of why recreational pharmaceuticals are popular among teens is that they prepare them for parenthood. And opportunities to sneak upstairs are sufficiently rare so that all of them should be taken.
Finally, are you saying my kids' poops aren't perfect?

Don't be ridiculous. There are millions of things to buy for a baby. Girls can where blue (and any other color). Boys look silly in pink, but you don't have to buy him blue. Whenever I go to buy one thing in a baby store, I walk out with like 50 pieces of clothing.

I found one way of getting around the tacky gendered clothing problem. When one of my friends told me she wanted to throw me a shower, I told her to have everyone bring their favorite children's book. That way there was something for every budget, nothing with obnoxious trucks on it, and an amazing variety of wonderful books (no duplicates, even with 15 or so people in attendance).

Good idea. I already have a stash of books I have been buying over the last few years (and hiding in the back of the closet with, um, more stuff).

I note that this emoticon was called "bj". I dont think bj stnads for someone giving someone else a peck on the cheek, which is what this looks like to me and which is what is my intent.
< Edited to say ok hon this is a kiss:
When you have something sucking on something else and white stuff meant to represent sperm going all over the place. THAT is a blow job.
Ugh

That bj emoticon looks like Sarah's description during the Joe $$ finale of what she did to Evan on the lawn.

OK, this is disturbing: The Treasury Department is talking about changing the color of money
I've always thought this is a great idea, if the Treasury goes to the logical next step. Different colored denominations are so much easier to distinguish and count --- the Europeans got this one right ages ago. I wouldn't adopt different sizes, but having all denominations in the same color is just a throwback to days when it wasn't technically feasible to do anything different.
Then again, I've felt for a long time that the American aversion to dollar coins --- at the same time we have this rEcockulous sentimental attachment to the penny (the goddamn penny!) --- is costing the country money. So maybe I'm a weirdo.

Debbie Allen. She was bossy, opinionated, and sometimes downright bitchy. But she helped those kids be the best they could be.

Oh no! And we have to keep the penny too. Think of all the great things we'd lose:
Charming little rhymes: "See a penny/pick it up/and all day long/you'll have good luck" It doesn't work with a dime dammit!
Tourist tchotkes: those machines that squish your penny into a piece of copper with say an aquarium logo and a penguin will be gone forever
Slang: "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" will be meaningless to future generations: "Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks" will make no sense to anyone
Monopoly Money: will no longer look fake enough and they'll have to make it all one (ugly, surely) color instead
Oh, the humanity!

Now mix the two and shut the fuck up.

PS - Actually, I didn't even mean that you should mix the two, but I liked your description of Allen.

I think my Changing Rooms gaydar is being hopelessly jammed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. There's no way that guy's straight. And yet, he is.
On the other side of the pond, I'm deeply skeptical of Frank Bielec's claims regarding his matrimonial status. NTTAWWT.
Speaking of Trading Spaces, anyone see this Saturday's Las Vegas episode? I'm torn --- was the woman really that pissed off, or was she playing it up? I believe the cursing was real, but the storming off and hitting her friend seemed a little forced.
spree disclosure: evidence of Frank's marital status, as shown on his needlework website -- NTTAWWT!
