16. Naw...
My answer still holds. The worry would preclude you from being horrible. You are human and would make mistakes like the rest of us mothers, but you wouldn't be horrible.

So, you thinking about having a child? Using the do-it-yourself kit? Adopting?

I think about adopting an older child from time to time myself. Everyone wants newborns, I feel for the little guys who aren't in demand.

51. As a licensed critic/evaluator of such beautiful artistic expression
I offer my professional services and critical eye. We can't bandy about terms like "beautiful artistic expression" unless they've been properly certified, now can we?

(free of charge, since it's DU. I'm like that)

Please send your (as-yet-uncertified) examples to pev135@pev.com, and we will have your expert answer within, oh, 10-12 minutes.

or...

"Where can I find them?"

Yep, that's me... totally laid back... not asking at all... :P

53. Shoot
My kids love all the music of my youth... Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, you name it. And I wrote for a fanzine for seven years... and I was in equity waiver theater, so they literally grew up backstage and at concerts... sometime en utero;) They are all fine, upstanding young adults now. No harm done!










A day without ROCK is a day you should stay in bed!

67. Get them on DVD!!!
Make sure you have a boda bag of wine...



Run the audio through your stereo... sit back in a comfy chair with a Bic lighter within arm's reach...

It's not near the same, but a damn sweet ride anyway.

And you won't have some loser splattering the backs of your legs with barf before, during or after the show:)


Seriously, the quality they've pulled from those old films is amazing. And they actually show shots of Page's left hand! "So THAT's how he did that!" DOH!

68. I'll have to try that
I have many of the Zeppelin DVDs, like How the West Was Won, that has a lot of great live sets. I don't own any for Pink Floyd, though, I should definitely correct that.

I've had a chance to see Page and Plant in concert, when I was about 16, and I recently went to an Australian Pink Floyd concert, which was good, but it's still only a cover band. Oh well, I guess I'll always have the DVD releases to look forward to.

Oh, and I've got the bag of wine covered, I carry one on me at all times. :hi:

27. Welcome to the terrible mother club
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 02:38 PM by Ellen Forradalom
Women are all terrible mothers because
We are young
We are old
We have sex
We don't have sex
We stay in shape
We let ourselves go
We stay home
We return to work
We read Cosmo
We read detective novels
We read War and Peace
We watch TV
We take hot baths
We play video games
We are assertive
We are passive
We are white
We are black
We are Asian
We are Latina
We are educated
We are unschooled
We are rich
We are middle-class
We are poor
We drive SUVs
We don't own a car
We eat only organic food
We microwave chicken nuggets
We have large families
We have small families
We show too much skin
We don't show enough skin
We are Democrats
We are Republicans
We drink socially
We are teetotallers
We shop at Walmart
We make our own soap
We run for office
We are Christian
We are Buddhist
We are Jewish
We are Muslim
We like our moms
We don't like our moms
We are feminists
We are traditionalists
We wear nose rings
We wear hijab
We have tattoos

It should be against the law for women to have children. Society would be much better off.

On edit: fix typo

60. Well, you could give them to someone else for safekeeping so your child won't find them by accident.
Y'know, someone who isn't too eager to see them anyway, so you know you can trust them to keep them to themself and not let everyone else know about them. O8)
