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.

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

No dead spots, for one thing. You wound up with a basketball surface that was about 4" thick of solid wood. It was gorgeous, too. The wood had great looking end grain, and it was stained a very dark brown, as opposed to the blonde color gym floors usually are. Except for that pesky buckling, and I suspect that was a lot easier to repair with the system they had than straight lengths would've been.

My alma mater had neither fraternities nor sororities, and no legends about falling libraries or misconstructed buildings. Though one dorm was built a foot off from the plans, because some students carefully moved all the marker flags before construction began. I'm pretty sure that's actually true, I knew a few of the flag movers.

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.)

The peach is close to perfect. Peachy, lightly sweet, no aftertaste. I've noticed that their lemon stuff has been hit or miss--I thought the lemon ginger tasted like plastic and left a nasty aftertaste, and was very, very happy when they got rid of it and brought the lemon cucumber out.
