Yeah, and still no 'insomnia'.

12:19 am
sprite

The worst kind of man is in here too.
12:20 am
smithchick

Sorry, GreyWoulf. Not used to daddy's who are actually dressing a child and taking care of it. My hubby is old school. When he did change the baby, it was usually dressed with backwards or inside-out clothes. That is no exaggeration.
12:22 am
GreyWoulf

no prob, smithchick --- so hoot was my dad that bad?
12:22 am
sprite

My love is more like Woulf. He did everything with our kids from day one, learning along with me, and he still does. Bless him (and you, Woulf!).

1:47 am
GreyWoulf

doing well -- I just had to change him completely --- he spit up some of his last meal while in the bassinet -- I am waiting for him to quiet down to turn in myself :)
1:49 am
Chessy

love the family photos. It always seems amazing how much uproar one tiny creature can produce :)
1:51 am
GreyWoulf

I am glad for the uproar -- it confirms my faith in existence -- when the glory of birth loses its wonder, the race is doomed in my mind
1:52 am
Chessy

it is a miracle every time :)
1:53 am
Jera

Good morning, all... how goes the battle??
1:53 am

Chessy

LOL GW
1:55 am

Not too bad, Jera -- though I have to turn in now, before I had to stop to feed Seb I hit my hundred, but now that the momentum is lost, I am kinda glad I need to go sleep
1:56 am
Jera

Just got up to speed with you & now you have to go... good night, GW!
1:57 am
Jera

Yet we press on, right, Chessy! I am just distracting myself waiting for painkillers to kick in... good way to get a head start!
1:58 am
GreyWoulf

Sorry about that Jera :)

But I go back to work today/later and his night pattern is all screwy right now --- he sleeps long until the first feeding -- then it seems like he is up every hour or so --- definitely pretty draining
1:59 am

So good night, ladies, good night

Bit miffed that I can't have 'himbo' (male equivalent of a 'bimbo'). And why isn't 'gorm' a word? If you can be gormless then surely there must be some 'gorm' in the first place. :-)

Maybe I'll just hang out & chat (altho' I have mounds of work I 'should' be doing!!)
8:38 am
Haz1558

I've started it but know that I won't finish it - my prize-winning (potential) will need my urgent attention today. That's to be my excuse for non-completion of the grid.
8:38 am

Your guess is as good as mine on that one! Sorry, Angelsong, I haven't got it yet. (Possibly never will at the rate I'm going.)
8:58 am
Chessy

ab7 has no def. try a + b4/6, with es as plural ending ...
8:59 am

ab 7 - here is the definition - but you have to make it plural....Nonliving: The abiotic factors of the environment include light, temperature, and atmospheric gases.
9:00 am

AB7: AB +third and fourth vowels+a short form of a female sibling.
9:02 am

There's an urban myth here about a kid who stole a penguin from a zoo in his school bag, everyone knows it, and the kid seems to have gone to everyone's school
2:14 pm

very good, yoink. I always find the truth so disarming.
2:22 pm
goofball

My husband and I have a theory that there is always a penguin on television, somewhere. If not a nature program, then a cartoon, or an old movie with dancing men in tuxedos. We think it's some sort of homage that the programmers secretly pay to the days of black & white tv.
2:22 pm
goofball

Of course, that's just my opinion! lol
2:23 pm

goofball,
LOL, it's probably the one yoink stole and it's trying to get home

2:31 pm
boreetos

Cover it in chocloate and melt into that wonderful oblivion...
2:32 pm

2:36 pm
smaller

Anj,
Ok. Whatever clears your conscience for you. Sprinkles, oreos too, if needed. Please note you've mentioned chocolate A LOT today. AND I only got a wrapper earlier. So add in FMitch's chocolate fountain too!!

Yoink

Yeah Mab, but horses crap all over the place, I hate that
3:04 pm

mab: I like ponies also. I think there is something a little wierd about flightless birds that WALK 100 km in the freezing cold just to mate.
3:05 pm
mab

that's some libido.

oh yeah, yoink? and your penguin just holds it?
3:05 pm

the ab7/36 word is an odd one (to me, anyway) meaning absence of life. It's got one of the bi4/6's in it and ends in the two letter plural prefix.
11:12 pm
Cmith

ab 7/ 36 (plural) absences of life OR a + life stories + squiggly letter

GreyWoulf

Thank you, thank you -- I now have both the ab and the se :)

And got a lesson along the way to always remember to burp the baby after feeding -- thankfully he spit up all over the swaddling cloth and not the daddy or the clean outfit I just put on him :D
11:18 pm
smithchick

Oh no, GreyWoulf. Not things I miss. My first son spit up after every feeding whether he was burped or not. Completely soaked the burp cloth every time.
