Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Nail tips for billytea!
Oooh. They even have Aussie animal crossing signs.
billytea! Big article on avian intelligence. Conclusion? Crows may be smarter than chimps.
S'true, crows are the mad geniuses of the bird world. I'd say evil geniuses, but they like rolling down snow-covered slopes before hopping back to the top, and my vision of evil genius is more focused than that. I wouldn't say smarter than chimps, though. Tool use is only one form of intelligence; chimps, for instance, can handle more complex social interactions.
But personally, I kind of prefer the crows. Especially the nutcracker story.
Hey billytea, it's nice to see you again. How are your feet doing? Are you getting some relief?
And I took my first good pregnancy fall this weekend - spine-surfed down the last 5 stairs. Now I have a big purple crescent on my tailbone, kind of a not-so-cool tattoo.
Oh, poor Raquel. That's so scary. I hope you're not too sore. Your balance changes because of the baby weight. Be careful.
When I was pregnant with Julia (I wasn't nearly as far along as you are), I fell down just about the whole flight of our cellar stairs. I was so scared. I called my doc, and he was so casual about it, it caught me off guard. Apparently he didn't watch as many soaps as I did in my teens and twenties (which may explain a lot, but is also a whole 'nother post).
Good luck with the whole citizenry bureaucracy.

Thanks...I went and checked with American Citizen Services at the embassy, and managed to confuse the heck out of them. But I think I'm back on the bureaucracy track.
Given that I'm a spaz anyway, and threw myself down the stairs in my last house with some regularity, one big fall isn't too bad. I'm hoping it's limited to one, anyway.

This is in terms of overall smarts per brain size, right? Crows are hella smart - I've watched them do fairly complex problem-solving. I mean, I had 9th graders who couldn't compete with crows.
Raquel, that's scary (about the fall). Glad you're both ok.

What Cindy said.

We watched a video in class the other day on baby chimps that were adopted by another mother. It was fascinating and really, quite cute.
I also read that bird story about a week ago. Fascinating stuff...especially about the crows.
Glad you're ok Raquel--but definitely watch those stairs.

BWAH!
When I took my only real fall it was in a restaurant. The manager turned as pale as a sheet when she saw a pregnant lady go down in her foyer.

Despite the fact that she already said she fell down the stairs, I thought Raquel posted this, and I was just going to post, "The same exact thing happened to Cashmere!"
Some mornings, there isn't enough coffee in the world.
Baby chimps are so very cute, vw. I thought chimps were my favorite monkey non-human primate, and then I saw Koko the gorilla.

OMG, they are so adorable. You could hear a large amount of the girls in the class "Awwwwww"ing frequently. It was pretty funny.
Today I have 100 pages to read in the most depressing book ever. And supposedly it's going to just continue getting more depressing. Can we hear a big "Yay!" from those in the back?

A-men.
I like baby Bonabos--although they're technically chimps. So tiny. So cute.
I have to get us dressed. The boy has a playdate with a very attractive older woman (she's 18 months).
Huh. State refund is already in the bank this morning. That's weird. Wasn't expecting it so soon. Looks like Owen and I are going OUT for lunch.
My classroom is
freezing.
Someone hand me a blankie, please?
