Speaking of too sweet...and also water-esque beverages. I just found out they have discontinued my favorite sporty type drink. Delicious, refreshing Smart Water is now nasty ass sweetened Fruit Water. I'm unreasonably sad about this. I just called 1-877-GLACEAU to register my displeasure. The poor girl on the other end of the line was very nice at least.

Much as I miss Smart Water (Lemon Cucumber was the best thing ever!), the new stuff isn't very sweet at all. (It's the stuff I just mentioned stocking up on for L&D.)

I wish they'd offer us both, personally.

only thing you can really believe....

I am the nicest one here.

Personally, I'd rather see it played the way Kris & Jon did.

Eh. They were likable compared to everyone else last season, but they never seemed to have any competitive edge, which is why they lost. I think Hayden and Aaron and Freddy and Kendra were both better teams (at least, until Hayden melted down), whatever their personality issues.

"There are no sorority houses because of an old brothel law."

The University of Maryland College Park says this, too. I think it's standard tour guide timefiller. And who knows, it might actually be true, somewhere.

FMOE, drink as much water as you can before you get to the hospital. The instant you feel the first pain, start drinking cause if your hospital is anything like mine was, the instant you get there, no more liquid or food. Ice chips only.

I can't remember when they made me stop eating, but by that point I didn't want to anyway. However, I was eating and drinking well after I got there and was having contractions.

I sent the Unitarian jokes to DH, and he responded with:

Here's one you're missing:

What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with a Unitarian? You get someone who goes around the neighborhood knocking on doors, but they're not sure why.

My aunt describes her UU congregation's motto as "We believe in one god, at most."

I wish they'd offer us both, personally.

That would be best!

I just tried the Lemon Fruit Water and it tasted artificially sweetened to me (well it is "artificial" in that lemon and water together are not naturally sweet but it tasted like a diet beverage to me. It gave me the same kind of bitter aftertaste.)

Maybe the other flavors wouldn't be so bad to me. But I am so going to miss the Lemon-Cucumber and, especially, the Cranberry-Grapefruit.

I just purchased some birthday gifts for my nephew. A onesie with the galaxy on it and the caption: Center of the Universe.

Allyson, where did you get this? Do you have a link. I must get one for my nephew.

At Seton Hall, the gym did have settling problems. The gym floor was unique. It was hardwood, but rather than the floorboards being laid end to end, as usual, the wood pieces were laid end grain up, as if you were walking on the end of a palatte of 2x4's.

Wha? I can't imagine what possible reason they would've had for doing that.

They were likable compared to everyone else last season, but they never seemed to have any competitive edge, which is why they lost.

I think they were plenty competivive. They just weren't nasty about it and didn't draw a lot of attention to themselves.

But the snopes sorority link doesn't really answer the question.

Some municipalities do indeed have zoning laws prohibiting more than a specified number of non-family members (male or female) from living together, but not even in those cases would a household in violation of those codes be labeled a brothel.

Doesn't really answer, and neither does the # of people living in a family dwelling, since I'm absolutely 100% positive that the KA's TKE's had houses they lived in (I stayed there on a number of occasions) and equally as sure that the ZTA's and Chi O's did not, though they did have houses.

I'm not arguing that it's certainly because of some brothel thing, but it's pretty clear the rules are different for the women.
