My hubby doesn't need one - he and both feel the same way about shopping, it is at times a necessary evil. i would much sooner sit in the bar and have a few beers than go shopping, particularly with a very active and inquisitive 5yo!!!!!!

[Slip18]

You're going to get slapped around for that one, Grimmy.

How's the little one? Is she sleeping through the night yet?

I know I shouldn't ask that of a new father.

[xsmommy]

well then i don't feel so bad, bc miss rika definitely didn't remember mine ; )

[xsmommy]

ok slippy, i know you have been stressed, but it is HD that is the new father. Grimmy, unless he is holding out on us, hasn't fathered anyone recently.....

[Slip18]

I can't usually even remember my own birthday. Cyber reminds me the night before.

[Argh]

Hardly ever. However, work beckons, see you later, Miss Slip.

[TheGrimReaper]

I know I shouldn't ask that of a new father
