Stopping by briefly, since the reason I've been even more absent than usual is that our internet died for more than 24 hours! Woe. But being in lurker mode anyway is a good thing, since I was annoyed but not crushed. *g* Catch-up is awkward, but I think I've just about read all that I missed. Many hugs to all those of you living with misery - there seems to be a lot of you at the moment!
At least we can count on Joss to keep us amused. I'm sure you've all seen his thoughts on slash by now, but if you're wanting an icon go to this post. Many, many goodies! ::points to new icon by

Being internet-less was good for writing purposes at least. I even wrote my drabble for
buffy_love. You can find it here if you're curious: Doppelgangland.
Since I'm here, but don't have time to cheer you all individually, I thought I'd relate a few tales of Darcy's parenting:
According to Darcy there is an Evil Toothfairy. She collects teeth just like the good one, but instead of leaving money, she takes the tooth and puts it in her mouth. Her mouth is HUUUGE and has millions of teeth in it, making her a hideous sight. And if a child wakes up when she collects their tooth, she bites their head off! (Little Miss M lost a front tooth just the other day btw, and the other one has almost gone...)
A few days ago he was playing with the baby and I suggested singing 'Old MacDonald' to her (using the lovely hand puppet
the_royal_anna sent). He thought this was a good idea, and so began:
"Old MacDonald had an industrial agricultural concern, E I E I O..."
I don't remember it all, but there was a verse about him having problems with French farmers, and one where he couldn't survive on government subsidies. In the end he set up a small organic health food business.
Sometimes I love him too much for words! :)
