One can chew fingernails off babies if one is trapped sitting down with a nursing baby.

I can never get the angle right for some reason. Plus, they grow at kudzu rates, so by the time the second hand is done, the first needs a redo.

When people call me "Cin" (which is pretty much the standard, in person), I always hear it spelled "Cyn" though, which I prefer.

I do not think I have ever heard anyone call my mom -- another Cynthia -- Cyn, or Cin, or even Syn. I might need to try it and see what she says. (Or, actually, not.)

We used to swear Ben was part demon. And I think that was *before* Season 4, which only confirmed our worries. So far though? No Celine poster, and no Cher on auto-repeat.

Heh. From Betsy White House press link upthread:

QUESTION: Scott, this is ridiculous. The notion that you’re going to stand before us, after having commented with that level of detail, and tell people watching this that somehow you’ve decided not to talk. You’ve got a public record out there. Do you stand by your remarks from that podium or not?

MCCLELLAN: I’m well aware, like you, of what was previously said. And I will be glad to talk about it at the appropriate time. The appropriate time is when the investigation…

QUESTION: (inaudible) when it’s appropriate and when it’s inappropriate?

MCCLELLAN: If you’ll let me finish.

QUESTION: No, you’re not finishing. You’re not saying anything.

Is she called Cynthia, or Cindy? I don't think that over here, people abbreviate Cynthia as much as they do Cindy (that is, when the woman goes by Cynthia). In England, I don't think they use "Cindy" much, but everyone ends up being Cyn.

Clipping baby nails is the single worst baby-related chore.

Those quotes from Santorum's book are ill-making. I do like that somebody wrote a sarcastic review on Amazon. Think I might head over and mention that I can't think of Santorum without thinking of Dan Savage's application of the word.

(Go A's! Go A's!)

Heh. Why does the public record hate America?

I used to clip the babies' nails when they were sleeping, but not during night-sleep. During a nap, toward the end. Sometimes, it would take me a few sessions before all 10 were done.

Okay, it's sprinkler time. See ya'll later.

I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.
