I don't know how parent grad students can do it

It's undergrads around here. t cue standard Utah mindset rant The girl (if she's not even 21 she's still a girl, to my mind) will frequently work and maybe take some classes while she's taking care of the kids as well. Husband is also probably working. What annoys me is that the girl frequently drops out of school when the kids show up but she'll keep working to help put husband through school. I asked one girl, "So, when he graduates and gets a decent job, will he watch the kids more so you can finish your degree?" "Why would he do that?" she asked.

I've wanted to watch, but it's on past my bedtime. Is it worth taping?

not sure yet. I've seen it twice, figured out the crime/murderer easily, but I think it's supposed to be about the interrogation/procedure rather than the crime itself. I'm giving it one more week.

I'd take one of those!

Me too!

me three! I had a guy give me his phone number a while back, and just never got a chance to call him. after three weeks, I decided it had been too long.

To heck with a boyfriend, I want a wife.

It's never too long, Vortex. You've never gotten an out-of-the-blue call from a guy six months later?

I think I just got two spots of salad dressing on my shirt. BAH! I dabbed at them with water, but of course if it really is dressing, that will be no help. And I hab a code, and going between the muggy outside and the freezing inside is making me feel like I'm sicker than I am. Wah.

Vortex, I've watched both Closer eps. I figured out the first one right away, and didn't get the second until she revealed it. I do find it too precious, with whatsername squinting and trying to look all frumpy, and winning every battle (but not the respect) in the squad room.

I'd totally take one of those guys, but with my whole waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop personality ("I mean, I know he thinks I'm attractive, but what does that really mean?") I stand a decent chance of sabotaging myself.

God, I need a nail file. Left hand ring finger nail is driving me nuts.

after three weeks, I decided it had been too long.

What can you lose by calling and finding out?

connie, a couple I know do this switch thing, between studying and working-plus-more-at-home. First she finished her law degree (and their first son was born, so the father was mainly with him), then he finished his BA, then she did her MA (second child), and now he's doing his PhD (third child). It seems to work great for them.

More power to them.

Anyone here know anything about LinkedIn? What differentiates it from Friendster?

This is cool.

This guy collected screengrabs of the London Underground Realtime Disruption Map for 15 days and compressed them into a 3-minute timelapse Quicktime video. Over 15 days, the Tube was fully operational only 22% of the time.

Someone should do one for the NYC subway.

That is cool.

And Chicago. The Red Line got disrupted again because of a suicide. At least this time it was on a weekend, and not rush hour.
