Thanks, Lee. I'm actually ok. Owen is a bit worse for wear. He's so exhausted. I hate the feeling of holding that tiny heaving body. No fever, though, which is good. I'm up washing the sheets now.

Oh, Cashmere. Stomach bugs are the worst, but they're worse still in the middle of the night, and I know you're missing hockey, but man you've gone for the hat trick of stomach bugs--in a child who is too young to tell you, "I'm gonna frow up," or to aim. Damn. I'm so sorry. I hope he feels better soon, and I hope you get some rest.

Happy Belated Birthday, -t!!!

Happy Birthday, Maria!!!

Happy Birthday, Kristin!!!

Birthday happies for all! Sympathy gronk for Cashmere. I am at work. But I have a new cell phone to play with, yay!

Happy birthday, birthday people!

Hee! Hi, billytea. I'd COMM that, but I think I'm COMMing too much, lately.

What sort of excuse is that?? "No thanks, I'm trying to give them up"? Feh. Feh, I say! Get thee to a COMMery!

Wow, I really didn't know that, bt. (Is it shallow that it's less cool because vultures aren't so beautiful?)

Vultures are gorgeous creatures. So fascinating. New World vultures have one of the keenest senses of smell in the world, while Old World vultures can't smell at all. Their stomach acids are strong enough to kill anthrax. One species uses tools to break into ostrich eggs. Another cracks heavy bones on rocks to get at the marrow. And then there's the black vulture, which is not only one of the few truly monogamous creatures, but if any of them actually does try anything on, the others all start beating on it until it gets the message. Swans, honestly, just don't have the personality of a good vulture.

Um. There may be an answer in there. It's probably one of those 'Magic Eye' deals.

Ah, billytea has read "Monstrous Regiment"!

'Tis true! And penguins were mentioned. How can I resist?

Poor Cashmere. (and poor Owen.)

And birthday happies for all.

I'm still a PC person over Macs, but I suspect that's because all the Macs I've ever used have been workplace iMacs that froze up or lost their connection to the server twice a day, and I'm told that Apple computers are much nicer if they are treated with love and respect.

Which doesn't help me when my computer freezes and needs to be restarted for the third time and I lose an hour's worth of work and have to bug the IT guys sio I can get into the file I was using. But it's nice to know.

Happy belated b-day, -t!

Happy birthday Kristin and Maria!

Happy Belated Birthday, -t!!!

Happy Birthday, Kristin and Maria!!!

It is sad when my body thinks that 8:30am is sleeping in.

{{{Cashmere}}} I hope you got a little more sleep.
