If I'm going to be a lady, at least I'm a hot one. Who wants to buy me drinks?

Anyone interested in a drink?

Hey. Want to get breakfast or something just the two of us soon?

( :D )

Auggie, hospital, now.

Now what to do if it's both?

So apparently the only costumes available to pregnant women are ones where the baby is ripping through my abdomen or the bump is a basketball. Nice.

What's everyone doing this Halloween? I'm babysitting my baby brother and my brother/son (guys, this is weird, we need a better name for this).

If I don't get my sons, husband, and our wife back right now, I'm going to do more than turn people into frogs.

so if i'm not public and dinosaurs aren't real if say a hypothetical fucker says he's gonna sue cause i knocked his teeth out and then OL bit his arm he doesn't have a case yah?

should've let her finish him. this is a fucking headache.

I know I said anywhere would be better than stuck on Neverland, but I didn't really mean it as a suggestion. Or a challenge.

Hi. I'm Neal. From what I've heard there's a few of me. Bypassing that identity crisis to look for my son, Henry.

Well, I've been through more portals than I'd really like at this point, but almost drowning in Hawaii is a new one.

I heard my daughter is here? Holly Mills?

Just leaving this here.


[ooc: please pretend it's a pic of the ring on her actual finger and not just that lol]

I've been forced on a mini vacation because I ended up turning all of the pencils at the station into sunflowers. Baby hormones have been fun.

Recommendations on what to do for the next week or so?

Bloody hell. Hatter, he's mobile and learned to roll. Time to batten down the hatches and find the rum, I haven't prepared myself enough for this. He looks so bloody pleased that he's trying it again.


I'd say something inspirational about fatherhood changing someone, but I think this might be easier than babysitting a crew of drunken pirates after a good haul. More rewarding.

I gave this lecture to my students earlier today, but given that we have plenty of students here on the network, I figured why not share?

It's nearing the end of the school year, and we're all sick of each other and want to go lay in the sun, but since exams are on the horizon, our suffering's going to continue. Sorry, life's not fair. However, here are some tips for studying that helped me when I was your age and hated smug bastards like myself. See, I'm not particularly smart. I do all right, but I leave the heavy thinking to my girlfriend. But you don't have to be smart to do fine in school if you have a few tricks up your sleeve, and no, I don't mean writing the answers on your wrist and then asking to go to the bathroom during a test; unless you have a goddamn doctor's note you're going to hold that, sir or ma'am.

But yeah, tricks. Tricks like:

• Sleep. Not like, taking a nap forever to put off actually reading the chapter, but get at least seven hours of sleep before a big test. Your brain remembers shit better after a good rest because biology; I don't know why because I'm not a science nerd, but I swear it works.
  
  
• Make up a rhyme to remember stuff. If you're really fucked, put it to music. Your brain is wired to remember words when they're attached to a beat, and to this day the only reason I remember how the hell the Spanish-American war got started is because I memorized "The Maine exploded and was damp / Cubans were sent to concentration camps / They were starving as they hung around there / but in the US, sympathy went spare / They had guns, they had men, they had knives that cut / and in hardly any time, we kicked Spanish butt". I mean, it's pretty terrible to rhyme shit around concentration camps, but I got a solid B on that essay, and I still remember it to this day, so whatever. You do you. Just don't sing it out loud because that's really terrible and offensive.
  
  
• Flashcards are a classic not because flashcards are actually magic, but because you had to write them. Writing makes an extra area of your brain work, so you're more likely to remember whatever you write than if you just stick to reading it. Typing doesn't work the same way, so sorry - gonna have to be a caveman and write.
  
  
• If you don't know an answer to an exam question, skip it for now. The teacher may have included information later on in the test that helps jog your memory. Remember, there's nothing wrong with partial credit, so just try to write something. Also, don't be like me and draw dinosaurs that look like your history teacher instead of answering questions. That shit got real.
  
  
• Study with a friend, and by "study" I don't mean "make out really hard on top of a textbook". Osmosis only works in chemistry class. Probably.

Beautiful wedding and good food! Congratulations, Emma & August!
