Mwah!

Published March 7th, 2008 in Metacommentary, Mostly a picture, Re: the lil' monkey.

I am confident that most of the text message-, online-, chat-, IM-, email-, blog-, and newsgroup posting-literate folk among you handily recognized the title to this post as shorthand for “kissing sound.” To what do I owe this confidence? My handy-dandy netlingo reference page, which helps bridge the yawning gap between me, who spent my junior high Algebra class fashioning spitwads or scribbling insulting likenesses of the teacher on spiral-bound notebooks, and everyone else younger than me, who spent their Algebra classes text messaging friends on their smuggled cellphones as they battled incipient Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.


Now back to the “mwah” (for which an alternate spelling, by the way, seems to be “muah”). I am filled with so much all-purpose gratitude, between all the really rich feedback you’re giving me in the LD Reader Survey, to the dietary coaching on yesterday’s post. I am this close from cobbling togther an LD Reader Appreciation keychain, which I find can be done up for a mere $3 per unit, plus shipping.

I’m batting around various caption ideas. “A mannish lesbian parent somewhere in Northern California really appreciates my virtual camaraderie”? Or perhaps the slightly more succinct, “LD loves me”?

Problem is, any caption seems insufferably self-referential, when all I really want to do is THANK YOU.

    I would be SO proud to carry that keychain around, were I to win one ;-) (that’s a huge smile)

    I LOVE the big strawberry kiss! And I love the keychain idea too. What fun!

    How about “I love LD”? I’d carry one.

    Why I did not see that strawberry in the lunch box tour? .
    Keychains! Trinkets! I see bumperstickers popping up…”I (heart) el D”, strawberry for a heart…nice kiddy fridge magnet font…yep yep. Or some such goofiness. You can buy magnet sheets and print on them and then cut them up and make your own wordy magnets or anything you want (hint hint). Um, and tattoos too. The world is your marketing oyster.

    My partner and I (faithful readers!) suggest that the keychain say “amor vincit omnia!” :)

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.

    Other maintainence work:Whilst I figure out how to make the best use of spiffy blogroll widgets and the new Links page, links on this home page will be a-shufflin' a bit. Good news: more of 'em, better organized (I think).

    Lesbian Dad Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

    • Chumpy commented on And by point of contrast saying Aw If you mislay the heavenly harp (or CD or Beloved) under a mound of used tissues you could always try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8fOWo2hV4U for a recently revived take on daughter separation. Crazy fans would identify the song from the opening line 'School bag in hand.....' without using the link.
    • Lesbian Dad commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Happy to say that our meager household was a part of that spike, when we contributed (again). That and No on 8, sister.
    • lizk commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Yes! I was delighted to find this earlier today and sent it to several friends. Fun to sit back and watch them back themselves into a corner -- give them enough rope, etc. etc. BTW, I read that Palin's rant, er, speech, has caused a huge spike in donations to the Obama/Biden ticket.
    • Nelfy commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying hehe. thanks for posting this. I think I develop a tiny crush on jon stewart every time I see one of those clips. I should get one of those t-shirts "I'd go straight for jon stewart". ;-). I am always 'amused' by the double standards eg her daughter made the "choice" to have her baby
    • immoralmatriarch commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Great minds, again. This is embedded in my blog post that's scheduled for tomorrow. :)
    • Lesbian Dad commented on And by point of contrast saying You people are stabbing a #2 pencil in my heart here, all the eloquence. Whatever shall we do. Before meandering down this primrose parenting path, I had no idea it would be a non-stop, daily exercise in how precious and precious little our time is. Sigh. Back to the harp music.
    • Shereen commented on And by point of contrast saying I KNOW. Our little one started grade one on Tuesday. Day one - trying not to bawl as she joined the lineup of students, and walked away from us into the classroom. Day two - trying not to bawl as she climbed away from us up the steps of the school bus. Every night -
