Hey, by the way I want to make clear that I am not the lurker who met any Buffistas (that I know of) IRL. It's coincidental that d and Dee are similar.

I just skipped like a mad thing, and am afraid the FLY lady would croak if she came to visit me. I have no idea what anyone else is talking about. I just woke up from freaky dreams where my boyfriend and I were Monica and Rachel (or Pheobe? Couldn't actually tell who I was.) and he managed to get both of us pregnant. The kind of dream that makes you go "HUH?!?" even as you're still dreaming...

I still have his self-composed song "Bicycle", but it was recored a few months ago.

He is such a happy little guy.

DH appreciated the key change that happened at W. It is good to wake up to kids singing

Random history-related question: how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?

how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?

Wouldn't it depend on context? If someone killed everyone living in one house (i.e. John List killing his family of five or six in the 1970s) that could be a massacre. But as a societal thing? I think it depends on how much of a specific population was wiped out.

vw--I was once stuck at Schipol (the Amsterdam airport) for 5 hours. it's a good airport to wait around in--they have lots of chairs and newstands and a McDonalds and also nice coffee shops. They also have a massage booth and lots of nice little shops. I'm sure they had a pleasant time there--and now they are winging their way home!

I would think so.

Em, there are some interesting things that I googled:

Columbine is considered a massacre.

Don't forget the Alice's Restaurant Massacree....

Robin, good to know! Thank you.

Alrighty. I'm off to the hospital. Send the ~ma at noon.

I didn't think d was Dee, because d does post, not often enough, but still. I wonder who Dee is.

Come out, come out, wherever you are, unless you're intent on a massacre, or something.
