So the doctor flipped the 3D switch when we were having our anatomy scan early this week... My kid looked like Gollum. In fact, it's kind of become his new nickname. Not all babies are cute (and most newborns are not.)
My kid looked like dying Voldemort and he came out pretty damn cute.

Oh man, I just laughed so hard I peed a little. Murph IS pretty damn cute.
Apparently this is an UO here. I do NOT think smoking marijuana should be legal unless and until it can be better monitored and controlled (probably bad word choice, but read on to see what I'm trying to say!), which is no small feat. (And even then I'm not sure I agree with it.) It's legal here (CO) and when we were in our last condo it would come through the vents from other units into our place. This was while I was pregnant so I was grumpy and pissed. In the winter, no less, when it's freezing and airing out the apartment is not fun. All the condo assn would do is send emails and post notices to smoke outside. I doubt they could identify which apartments it was coming from so they couldn't really do anything.
Thank goodness our house close wasn't delayed - I was at my wits end by the time we moved!
I never thought of it coming in through vents! I would hate that, too. I am for it being legal, but I've never smoked it and have never been so much as tempted to. I just think it's dumb that people go to jail for holding a small amount of it. However, I'm not all that passionate about this, so meh?
I've never tried it but I've been around it quite a bit (more so in high school than any recent time). I think it should be 100% legal but I do think, as with anything, people should be considerate and shouldn't be able to pollute other people's air with it. There would just have to be regulations in place.
I have never done pot, don't want too. However, I want to legalized it and tax the hell out of it. We need better schools, higher paid teachers, more fire/police protection, better roads..... I could go on.
I also think the tax loop holes that gas companies have should be changed. Exxon, Shell, BP.... have not paid taxes in years, but that make millions/billions.

Proof, Murph on the left and dying Voldemort on the right
On the marijuana thing I agree we're probably too harsh on it where it is illegal. But where it's legal we just need to find a better way to stop the stupid inconsiderate people. It's not regulations or rules that are the issue - it's the enforcement. Everyone in my building knew they weren't allowed to smoke inside, but there was no good way to enforce it. I think we need to figure that out.
@LinzerBinzer My old building used to have a no smoking inside rule, but everyone had balconies and it was cool to smoke on your balcony. It was a good compromise. When people would smoke indoors you could call the 24/7 answering service with complaints. If they got more than one complaint about the same unit, that unit got a warning. 3 warnings and you're kicked out. It was in the leases and worked really well (except that time DH and I had a knock down drag out fight at 3AM and got pinged lol but that's a whole other story).

LOL sorry I don't have a better ending! No idea why we were fighting now... It was obviously life-changing and totally necessary for all the neighbors to lose sleep whoops!
@noelietrex the worst fight we ever had we were SCREAMING at each other in our apartment in Baltimore and I got so pissed I pulled a bobby pin out of my hair and threw it at him. Why? Who knows. What were we fighting about? Who knows. But fuck if it didn't feel great to lob that tiny piece of metal at his head.

Oh man, I want a 'stupid shit I have fought with my partner' about thread. My husband got so black out drunk once that he tried to beat up one of his staff sergeants (who thought it was hilarious). I got him home and into bed, and woke up to him peeing on the floor about 2 hours later. I sent him to the bathroom while I cleaned the (luckily hardwood) floor, and came back into the room to find him holding onto the wall trying to get back into bed.
I help him to bed, go to the bathroom to pee......this asshole has tp'd my bathroom. Toilet paper on the light fixture, toilet paper on the shower rod and head, toilet paper EVERYWHERE. I clean that up, crawl into bed and he screams 'I'M SORRYYYYY' like a bratty toddler who isn't really sorry. I tell him to go to sleep, and he responds by taking one of his pillows and smacking me in the face with it.
At this point, I was soooo fucking done. I took all of his pillows and the blanket from him and ignored him until morning. He doesn't remember any of this, btw. Not a damn thing. When he woke up the next morning and tried to cuddle me, I scowled 'Don't touch me, you tried to fight Staff Sergeant Blank, peed on the floor, tp'd the bathroom, and smacked me with a pillow!!'
He's never drank like that again, because if he gets too drunk I threaten to tell this story. He always chooses to put down the booze.
moved this post to the FFFC where I THOUGHT I put it in the first place, good job me!

my FFFC (on Sunday, lol): I got up early this morning, drove the 30 min to Tampa to meet up with a lady to buy myself a stash of new & used cloth diapers (TOTALLY EXCITED BTW). Came home and went back to bed for 2 house - because it's Sunday and we've been entertaining the ILs since Wed. I don't feel bad at all, and now I'm going to have mac & cheese for lunch and continue being a bum even though it's beautiful outside. I am catching up on my bumping instead of enjoying the weather.
@Y0urm0mYup, well I feel only a little dumb, oops, and thanks!
