Remember me talking about the new breed of mutant mosquitos that has sprung up the past few yrs? Here's a smallish one I just found dead on my washer. They can easily be even bigger. Check out that needle!

That looks like a tiger mosquito.
Yeah fuckin massive and they feed all day!! Not just at dawn and dusk times!! The bastards.

Get them here in northern Italy too.
I killed 3 at work last night.

Your more or less right. It's a new breed of them. Bigger. You think they are spiders when you see them on you.

BK that is a scary ass bug. I mean we have some big ones over here but nothing I have seen compares to that. Do they spread any diseases?

[Nicodimas]

I super excited and thrilled earlier in the day when I moved forward with the hiring process at this company..

....to only get an email later in the day...our bad that email wasn't meant for you..Thank for applying....yadda yadda.

So totally bummed. <that can only happen to me..like wtf.>

Very unhappy face.

[worry]

That seriously sucks. I can't think of a worse tease.

Aww that's sweet! They do say having a child is like one of the Top Twenty things a person can do, emotions-wise.

It's really something I can't explain emotions-wise. Just such a great experience.

I was discussing this last week with my friends I met at antenatal class. We decided it was best described as Stockholm Syndrome.

I would agree!

Also messing with my groove, wife and daughter are on their way to a particularly traumatic appointment (breastfeeding clinic where they will probably be dealing with [read: snipping] my daughter's lip tie [and possibly her minor tongue tie as well]) and she forgot her wallet...and then hit traffic (even though she left plenty early) and the poor baby was screaming in the back in her car seat...so my wife, freaking out, drove to her best friends parents house to borrow some cash for parking (who are great and happily obliged) and then she arrived (thankfully on time) to the clinic to open the car door and find her wallet wedged into the gap between the seat and driver-side door. All this while I impotently sit at work waiting to hear what is the result of the appointment...and wishing I could have been there to alleviate the stress involved.

Hangover.
When will I learn.

On the plus side, getting paid from 7am, only struggling out of bed now

Baby PigDog had his tongue tie snipped. One big wail and then he was fine. They hardly notice it.

Oh, that's great to hear! We KIND of assumed since they are so young, but this parent part of me thinking about my child going through something as traumatic as that seems horrible.

I had no idea how common tongue and lip ties are!

[Mezla PigDog]

I think it's a bit of bullshit to be honest. There are a few really obvious tongue ties that you can understand causing difficulty with feeding or creating a speech impediment later on. Then there are also a lot of slight ones and there's so much hot air around whether there might be problems later that they'll need a general anaesthetic to have fixed that you think you may as well get it snipped nowl and have done with it.

I think you're right. Her tongue tie is very minor (and frankly I doubt they'll snip that), but her lip tie is very tight and does cause difficulty feeding on one side where she literally cannot get a deep latch. My hope is that they fix the lip tie for the feeding reason (my poor wife is distraught about it, and it physically causes her issues) but I'm fine with them leaving the tongue tie. I'll find out in a little while as the appt. just ended at 10AM.

EDIT: Tongue and lip tie's both snipped easily. She cried what my wife calls "real tears" for a bit, but seems okay now. The lactation specialist saw her tie's and said that is exactly what's causing the problem on the one side when feeding (for both mother and baby), and that she should be much better now. They go back in a week to follow up and make sure all is healed and going better. That's a relief to be honest.

Also if you keep talking about snipping up babies I might puke and die, not necessarily in that order.

[EmperorMagus]

What's a snip? Literally never heard of it before.

[amphibian]

Sometimes tongues have extra skin on the bottom that prevent normal movement. Doctors will cut these to a certain extent to allow better tonguing.

This is different and way better than circumcision snips.
