Cashmere, did any maternity stores have you give them your address when you shopped there?

I suspect that's how I got on the mailing lists. (Should have said, "no you may not know where I live, fuckos!", but I hate the hassle.)

Also, did you have a birth announcement in the paper?

Cindy, you are past the point of intervention. You are officially Lost.

Now I'm imagining Lost stacker. The heads of various cast members dropping. Maybe even certain pairings would cause unpredictable results.

And you could have a polar bear, the doomrador and maybe a golf ball or a black rock. The thing in the woods could be a swirl with a question mark.

Hmmm. Never had a worthy project to interest me in Flash before...

There's such a thing as birth announcements?

Oh my lord, Betsy. I heard about the hostage thing earlier. That's so bizarre. (But funny, and there's not a lot of that in regard to this war.)

Well, the thing about the renter's insurance is that it covers stuff like, your bed, sofa, (both expensive items to replace)

What if your sofa was inherited and is well over 30 years old? (My grandmother reupholstered it about 10 years ago and didn't use it much in general, so it doesn't LOOK it, but it would be hard to put a dollar value to. I think the only furniture we have that wasn't inherited, is fairly cheap IKEA stuff.) I guess my question is -- would we have to guess what our parents and grandparents spent, or what?

There's such a thing as birth announcements?

NSM anymore, what with the new privacy laws, but hospitals used to release the information to newspapers.

I just received my very first fan mail

Great news, P-C!

Does anyone else find it really weird that I get eerily exact mailings for baby products right before Owen is ready for them?

When I got married we got this little gift pack when we filled out a form. For nearly a year after I got cleaning products to try in the mail. It was no small source of amusement to Mr. H, who watched me say over and over, "What's this for again?"

You can insure for replacement cost, can't you? if you don't know the actual value, I mean.

Heather, I figured if anyone knew Cowboy Mouth, you would. I love them. My sister and I go see them every chance we get.

My first Cowboy Mouth concert (well, bar gig) was awful. I ran into an evil ex and got trashed and wound up having to be escorted out of the ladies, but I love them and their music--no matter how awful boys named Ron can be.

I'm going into a whole fantasy world now where I'm still 17 and Centenary Oyster House is still open.
