Miscellanea

 Is anyone else getting those spams with links as comments on lj? I heard on the radio a while ago that the way Google calculates "points" means that having a link placed (even in the comments) on a well viewed site, pushes that linked site towards the top of the page.  And I understand that spam blankets everything, but I don't see how adding their link to my lj posts (almost a dozen since noon yesterday) would help them at all. And really can't they be a little more original. Every single one of these is exactly the same 'I've got a huge crush on you' message.

Also can anyone think of a mama/papa/daddy equivalent of carrying-parent. That is the only think keeping me from posting part two of Wings. What do little Ravi and Draja call Kairava? Carcar? Caca? Cara? I'll post both a gender neutral and an all male pronoun version for those that have trouble reading GPNs. But as I will start working long holiday hours starting Wednesday, the sooner I can come up with a word the more likely the story will go up before January.

And for those who read Gestures, I'm almost 5k in to the second, as yet untitled, part. I haven't decided on the rating yet (I haven't written anything graphic in over a year, maybe two) but it will probably come down to whether I can find time to write when the kids aren't home.

Last time I spent an hour in my house alone: Two weeks ago. Next time: who knows.
