After the corncob, are you kidding, or trying to draw Less here for recommendations on vinyl sofa slipcovers?

Unthinkable. Anyhow, her "adult profile" says she likes doing a certain something "24/7" and I'd be concerned about her ability to multi-task.

The corncob is a little out there, though, I dunno, maybe they were at a bbq and didn't have any toys handy. Sending the pictures to the entire universe was stupid as hell. But liking sex doesn't seem like it should be a disqualifier. And if she does it 24/7, she MUST be good at the multi-tasking. Or she would have starved to death.

ETA: Done. Thanks for the tip!

Late to the game but here's some additional input on baby stuff:

Swings: if you get one, get the larger one and skip the so -called "take along" swing which is smaller:

By the time you set it up, babies can push off the ground with their feet and hurl themselves backwards. I still have the hilarious image in my head of Vietbabe capsizing backwards.

Formula: if you (or your wife (

are breastfeeding and just want to have some "in case" I would get the kind that is in a glass container that you just pop on a nipple. The container doesn't need to be refrigerated and no mixing of water or powder. The greatest is that some formulas, like Nutramigen (which is gentle and for sensitive tummies) come in 6 ounce bottles and not just the 3 ounce.

Highchairs: If I had it to do over, I'd use a plain wood one and not the ones everyone uses now with the cushiony seat that comes off. Cleaning it was a pain with all the nooks and crannies and you won't feel like taking it off to douse in the sink b/c it's a pain putting it back on because of the straps that go through it. Food gets under the cushion through the strap holes. I dry heave just THINKING about it.

Doubles: if I was doing infanthood again I'd have at least two of many things (though not two babies). Some things like binkies a/k/a fafas are so cheap, you should have them everywhere throughout the house. Why spend 1 hour with a kid screaming as you search for a $.13 binkie? Time is money. Besides binkies: an extra set of monitors you can use to travel with (what a pain to move furniture to retrieve them and to have to put them back), tons of bottles so you don't need to hand wash between dishwasher cycles, multiple baby tylenol/gas drops and assorted things to keep in a few rooms in the house. I also like an extra car seat so anyone can take baby in their car, or if you are travelling you won't have to rip your's out of the car (the local police usually have a program that sets it in the car securely). I got the same seat so I knew how it worked.

Stocking up: if you have the storage space, besides diapers you can stock up on heavy things like Dreft (baby laundry detergent). I felt like I was hauling that stuff in the supermarket once a week.

Liking the sex is one thing. Posting pictures on the Internet that make tubgirl look like June Cleaver is another.

(Yes, they were that bad)

This almost sounds like someone else got access to her computer. While "reply to all" is a much-abused feature (shouldn't it be disabled, or at least require a confirmation dialog that can't be turned off?), I've never seen a 'send to all in my addressbook' feature. Why would one ever want to send something like this to so many people that it's easier to "select all" and then delete certain people.

Of course, she's still apparently a wanton slut I wouldn't let near anyone except my son after he turns 18, and then only with five condoms glued on.

The "to" line only had one name on it -- her friend. There were no other recipients listed so I don't know why it got sent to everyone. Is it possible that this could happen accidentally? Or maybe she put in the person's name but when she went to hit "send" she hit some option of sending to her entire mailbox? Or the intended recipient was part of a group (including me) that she normally sends jokes to and the computer thought, then, that everyone should be sent the email? Final guess: an error when she created a group (when she saved her group of different people for jokes, she misnamed the group "Sheila" so when she hit "Sheila" it didn't just go to Sheila but the whole group.) I dunno. Sucks to be her though. And probably her sex drive is not that high this week.

2. There is no way he will ever recover from seeing those pics (or worse, reading the text of the profile). I can only hope she has developed a convincing argument about how her face (and distinctive tattoos) were superimposed on someone else's body (maybe you could show them your own handiwork) Problem is -- the background is their living room and bathroom. I guess it's too late to claim rape. She had better think of something.

Conf. to Fringey- don't worry- if your dad has/does find out about your act it won't bother him- to be bothered would go against every old hippie fibre in his being: If it feels good do it!

My dad now admires Ashcroft and thinks sex ed is bad and torture is fine and dandy.

Sounds like a setup to me. If only one person was in the To field, everyone else was a blind copy. That's pretty tough to do automatically, unless she created an "all" group and put that in the bcc field.

Well, fun for her.

Vietmom,

I agree - it sounds like she has "groups" set up - she probably has one group for jokes and such and another for whatever you would call her email and she hit the wrong one - that would perhaps explain why there is only one person listed in the "to" category.

I (used to before I quit law) have several groups set up for different boards of directors and almost sent out the wrong email to the wrong group on a few occasions, so it's easy to do, esp. if you have them similarly named, whcih might be the case here. Maybe you should suggest she change her group names to "Friends and Family (Do Not Send Porn!!!)" and "People who Like Nekkie Pictures of Me."

I'm so glad I'm on the latter list.
