Comments on: And even asleep hath he smote his Auntie http://www.lesbiandad.net/2007/02/02/and-even-asleep-hath-he-smote-his-auntie/ notes from the crossroads of mother and father Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:26:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: LesbianDad http://www.lesbiandad.net/2007/02/02/and-even-asleep-hath-he-smote-his-auntie/#comment-682 LesbianDad Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:21:15 +0000 http://lesbiandad.net/2007/02/02/and-even-asleep-hath-he-smote-his-auntie/#comment-682 Many, many thanks, virgotex, for the props on the picture. His little patch of red is indeed his current hair color -- kinda auburnish, actually -- and his sis had that same color when she was a newborn, too. I liked the linked chain they all made here, and the light. Composition is such a delightful matter of serendipity and then later editing, since there are always some kind of ten to twenty -- sometimes 74! -- pictures taken for any one that's salvagable. But anyway thank you. Many, many thanks, virgotex, for the props on the picture.

Anyhoo, it was for statistics for master's level social sciences and it was taught by a delightful man whose real passion was the politics of dance and dance and political thought. Sooooo, my extremely scant statistical expertise skews toward the fuzzy and less precise to begin with. Thus, I feel highly qualified to conduct a modest field study on the effects of digital smittery. I love the peanut's hair in this picture- I don't know if it's actually that reddish or it's a trick of the light but that little patch of red anchors the whole shot, I think- it's the bottom of a triangle with the two heads and two hands at the top. Lovely composition. I was married for 5 minutes.

I feel you, sister. I had monster-in-laws once. I was married for 5 minutes. I was young. I wasn't even knocked up. go figure?! but, you also make valid delicious points. you are so funny!

Compliments, in my book, can be neither redundant nor repetitive. Likewise with gratitude, so thank you. Katie, I sez you're not losing an appendage, you're gaining a father-in-law. Or what have you. I sez <carpe diem, carpe amor</i>, and damn the torpedoes. Oh, sure, what you stand to lose ratchets up an obnoxious amount. But I think regardless of how long the object of affection remains in our lives, all the love we've loved stays in the bloodstream, kinda like <a href="http://www.fsrdrugtest.com/resources/marijuana.htm" rel="nofollow">THC</a>. Only more long-lasting. I sez life-long. It gets easier and easier every time, and before long you're frickin' <a href="http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-86049/Leo-Buscaglia" rel="nofollow">Leo Buscaglia</a> and you're hugging shrubs and mailboxes and the UPS gal/guy! Which, if s/he's burly and shy and you go for those types, ain't bad! FOI begone! And virgotex, thank you for saying Hi, and adding to the research on digital smittery. At this rate only a few more data points will bring us into statistically significant sampling group numbers. Oh thank you thank you and toda both.

It was this post that made register. So I guess that smiting stuff works digitally as well? I’ve lurked on and off for a while. It was this post that made register.

(I think I've said this before, so if it's redundant, sorry.) the most endearing thing about your blog is the way you love your wife and children. it is so lovely and honest, refreshing. I know very few people who can love so completely. I just might have to resolve my fear of intimacy. though, "foi" and I are so tight at this point, it could be like losing an appendage. kidding-ish. mazel tov! katie- shalom, bubbalah.
