Introducing Purple Is a Fruit {Lemondrop}

Sep 18th 2008 12:23AM I'm so glad that "Purple is a Fruit" is back!!!!! (I am a firm believer in lots of apostrophes!!!) I saw that episode of The Simpsons a few nights back and instantly thought of you.
Good luck with the new writing gig.
Love "The Gnome"
PS: I live in the Australian Outback just near the dingo fence, so if you ever mail the boys downunder, I'll be sure to throw them some food over the fence occasionally on your behalf (or maybe even take them home and nom on their beautiful toes.....)

What to Expect When Your Expectations Get All Out of Whack {ParentDish}

Jun 9th 2008 10:17PM The problem with all of those baby books is that the babies can't read them.....

Taking baby to the doctor (for spits and giggles) {ParentDish}

May 24th 2008 3:05AM Linda, I'm here to tell you that as they get older it will be same shit, different day. My daughter (9years old) fell over a few weeks ago and hurt her wrist. It was strapped and iced and all appropriate first aid administered. After a week it was still hurting - not in a "can't play Wii" kind of way, just always aching a bit. So I took her to a physiotherapist who said that she wasn't convinced it wasn't broken and that we should get medical clearance first. So we went to the doctor who said that he wasn't convinced that it wasn't broken and that we should get xrays taken. I knew it wasn't broken. She can play the nintendo but she can't do her flute practice?? Get real. Anyway, I was the good mummy and went for the xrays (for me this is a 200mile round trip) . In total: $50 co pay for the xrays, $20 for the physio and $20 for the doctor (not to mention a day off work and 200 miles worth of gas) and the wrist is JUST SPRAINED. For all that effort she could have at least needed a cast!!
