"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Zartan, you did not just list Jim Ross as a good JR. You used to be cool.


What can I say? I'm the biggest fan of hyperbole ever.

My husband is a III.  He's called Bill and his dad is called Bill.  I find that annoying as hell.

I'm with JL, it's a nickname, so the spelling should reflect a similarity to the name from which it is derived.  If it were me, I'd probably spell it Pearse.

Even though we had intended to wait until after she was born, we seem to have chosen a name for our baby: Lydia Violet.

apropos of nothing, i must say that i keep parsing "Pearson" as "person", and that if i as hanging with your son, i would probably call him chuck.

i vote "pearce" because it's a shortened form of his name.

"Pearse" is fine except for the part where it contains "arse" explicitly and not just as an implied sound.

Also, Lydia Violet is a lovely name.

Oh it's fine but it's no Cyndi or Taylor.

I think Violet was the least hillbilly of the names on that list, so I'm happy to see that that you've gone with the least offensive names to call your offspring, but is she going to be called by both names or will she eventually just be "lid" - THAT is the question.

I was watching Terminator 3 the other day when that struck me too.

Good thing we aren't having boy and girl twins.

Breaking news, y'all.  Sorry to re-open a dead thread, but I didn't want to hijack Va's thread, and this is a small enough piece of news that I don't think it merits a thread of its own.  

I'm due four weeks from today, as those of you who have been counting might know.  As you also might or might not know, I've had all kinds of freakish complications with this pregnancy, including but not limited to: thyroid disorder, gallstones, and gestational diabetes.  For this reason, my doctor informed me this morning that not only will he not let me go past my due date, but that he will induce labor as early as he feels is absolutely safe for me and Pearce/Pierce.  Which means, if I don't go into labor by February 21st, I'll check in to the hospital for an induction.  

This is great news in that it means that we just had a week cut off of our waiting period, and that there is definitely a clear end in sight for what has been a rather difficult pregnancy.  However, I'm still hoping to go into labor naturally (on account if it being generally better for the baby and easier on the Mama), so say a prayer/keep your fingers crossed that the induction turns out to be a moot point.  

Also, if you're the praying type, please say a few words for my cousin.  She's a single mom who lost her mother to cancer two years ago, and is going to have to decide this week whether or not to remove her father from life support following a very sudden heart attack/stroke combination yesterday morning.  Sorry this is all wrapped up in baby stuff, but I only have time for a couple of posts today and I had a lot of "sharing" to do.  

Thanks.  

PS. Anybody know when Chris' baby is due?

Prayers, good thoughts and all that.  You know we'll all be pulling for you while you're pushing.  Also, sympathies for your cousin.  

Now, onto sterner matters.

Where have you been young lady??!!  Laid up in bed with nothing to do but game and surf the web and we see you once a month???  That is Simply. Not.  Acceptable.  We will all be expecting this problem to be rectified immediately.  If not sooner.

Edit:  In a year or two lecturing like this will be second nature to you, too.  Also, within 5 years or so your guilt skills will be finely honed.

I hope all goes well for you.  We were roped into induction for circumstances far less dramatic than yours (on the basis of swollen ankles, which are not at all common during pregnancy, and one high blood pressure reading which wasn't duplicated on immediate re-tests, the doctor said Mrs. del Vaca might have pre-eclampsia and should think about inducing.  Then he moved it up another week based on the hospital's schedule).  If I'd have had it to do again, I'd have fought it.  But in your case it sounds much more warranted.

Here's the type of adorable kid story you have to look forward to:  my daughter (20 months) speaks, as you might imagine, a unique flavor of English.  My favorite Lizzie-word at the moment, is "hoadie."  That's her word for "hoss."  Furthermore, several other four-legged hoofed mammals, such as zebras or giraffes, are identified as "hoadie," or occasionally "hoadie hoadie hoadie."  (Not cows, which are "Moo!")  So are monkeys, for reasons I am unable to fathom.

Cracks me up. Now I find myself saying it all the time.  Hoadie hoadie hoadie.

This is totally reasonable to me. A zebra is basically a hoss except a little bit different, so if a hoss is "hoadie" then a zebra also being "hoadie" makes sense. In this system, a giraffe is clearly a hoadie with two more hoadies on top.
