in case you don't already know, zhi announced the gender of her baby (http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.php?topic=11223.msg236223#msg236223). i won't spoil the surprise, but there was a running joke in the thread that the losing guessers had to pay for a pizza baby costume (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1/647Bq7_pizzababy.jpg). but i think we can do better than that. why don't we all chip in for zhi and donate to her for all the baby stuff she will actually need?
as a reward, you will not only receive the satisfaction of knowing that you helped supply tba's first child and mother with the necessities of babby life, but you'll receive this amazing, hand-crafted pizza baby pixel trophy ((https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fforum%2Fawards%2F3-mini.png&hash=35ac30cc7ebd0793259ecb33f5d4ffc6fa3ef2d5)) in your award case! minimum donation of $5 for the award, and you'll get it when you either post a screenie or zhi confirms with me she got money from you.
i'll kick things off :)

I'm sorry you feel that way. Here is a picture of his junk.
looks weird
either way, i kind of agree with sin. as long as the money doesn't go exclusively to pizza baby costumes and stuff, i'd be happy to donate a little, but i don't have any money right now so would next month be okay as well?

i don't know, it's kinda of a mix of i don't really want to get rewarded for something that should be expected, i don't want to have something that adds as a sort of status symbol, and i don't feel the need or desire to advertise my donation.
bruce wayne does it all the time

ur good at sucking period.
Just wanted to let you guys know that with your help, I was able to purchase all the diapers I will need until ~6mos. I am cloth diapering as it is much better economically as well as for the environment (disposables are expensive and such a waste!!), aaannnddd I was able to get everything i needed for about hundreds less than it would normally cost with my savvy shopping skills. Ive still got $$ leftover from what tba has helped me with for later necessities.
if anyone wants to know more about cloth diapering free feel to ask

donated $10
joeybang and shad confirmed! :D thank youu
that's 10 people so far :)
i would like to donate next chance i get. ps. cloth diapers are gonna fuck up ur babys butt
pps. what happened to dad? are you going at this alone? is your financial situation stable enough for you to stay home and support this kid? im actually really pretty concerned about you, dude. going at this kind of thing alone is incredibly difficult and if thats seriously the situation that youve found yourself in then i am deeply concerned for you, but also have incredible respect for you. raising a kid alone is a seriously brave and difficult thing to do, and even though it doesnt mean much coming from some little nerd stranger on the internet, i really do wish you the best
yeah i was sorta hoping that that had changed :--(
You gettin child support from the dick right?

disposables are terrible for a baby. the chemicals they use to absorb more liquid means that parents think its ok to let their kids sit in their own urine for longer an in more amounts because the diaper is bloated with urine and excrement.
disposable diapers contain traces of Dioxin, an extremely toxic by-product of the paper-bleaching process. it is a carcinogenic chemical, listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals. it is banned in most countries, but not the U.S. they also contain Tributyl-tin (TBT) - a toxic pollutant known to cause hormonal problems in humans and animals. disposable diapers also contain sodium polyacrylate, a type of super absorbent polymer (SAP), which becomes a gel-like substance when wet. a similar substance had been used in super-absorbency tampons until the early 1980s when it was revealed that the material increased the risk of toxic shock syndrome by increasing absorbency and improving the environment for the growth of toxin-producing bacteria.
also in May 2000, the Archives of Disease in Childhood published research showing that scrotal temperature is increased in boys wearing disposable diapers, and that prolonged use of disposable diapers will blunt or completely abolish the physiological testicular cooling mechanism important for normal spermatogenesis.
cloth diapered babies rarely get diaper rash. my family uses cloth diapers and ive never witnessed a blowout (where shit sneaks up the back of the diaper and leaks onto the clothes like in disposables). not to mention disposables cost 10x as much in the long run and dont break down in landfills meaning they will be there long after even your great great grandchildren have died. i dont know why anyone would use disposables with exception of added convenience
my son doesnt have a father unfortunately but he does have a family (and extended with family friends) who already adore and love him. i will be raising him alone but it is not so bad. it is better to have no father than to have a bad one.
i've also heard there are services that will pick up and clean your cloth diapers for you and deliver them back to you
yeah if you have the economy to support it, but unless she wins the lottery, gets hooked up with a rich prick or her parents shit stacks of money this would probably be too luxurious and probably unnecessary

I didn't realize these were options. I guess ill go ahead and forget about a forensic engineering degree and just sit around on my ass until prince charming comes to scoop me up.
As far as the diapering service goes, they are good but better for those who live in cities and such/have a bit more income. I've got a perfectly fine washer and dryer here so I'm not fussed. But it is definitely a plus for those who can afford it or don't have the amenities
missed out on the "old school" award by two days
must have pizza baby

:wile:
you ought to have a picture of a record or a phonograph for ancient members who joined in 06
the real deal
anyway zhi i'm glad you're so determined and seemingly responsible. i hope that the rest of your pregnancy is not too bad (i'm assuming it's all downhill from here, until the baby is born anyway)
i love you all very much.
the worst is over (1st trimester with the constant vomiting and terrible overall feeling) but im sure im going to be uncomfortable in a couple months when my center of gravity begins to shift. thank you though!! :D
