Ooooh. Intrigue.

Speaking of diapers....

BERLIN (Reuters) - An "electronic nappy" used to monitor wetness sparked a bomb alert in a German post office when it arrived in a parcel ticking suspiciously, police in the southwestern city of Heilbronn said Thursday.

"They suspected it was a bomb so they put the package into an empty room and called the police," said a police spokesman. "It was supposed to respond to wetness with bleeping sounds but this one ticked."

Two squad cars rushed to the scene and immediately contacted the sender. Police gave the all clear after they contacted the woman who told them the intercepted package contained only a malfunctioning diaper.

OOoh, Jen. Yay for going back and asking. Whoo!

Awwwing along with everyone else over your Oz-like statement, bt. And adding my vowels to theirs.

No pre-school butterflies, sj. You've done school before. You'll be fine.

Pretty shiny Lisah hair with the pretty red streaks! And a gorgeous head of curls on Sail. You look like you've had two weeks' vacation in the after picture, love.

Feel-better-soon vibes to Hil and meara and Em and Mal.

Safe journeys wished to Anne and Susan, peace and healing at the end of them, and safe journeys back home.

I've never quite caught up enough to post for the last couple of days, so I hope I've not overlooked anybody.

I'd like to be the Nine of Pentacles, if I may. I may borrow one of Kenny Parker's smaller raptors to complete my pose.

Also, I forget who took the shot, so if anybody remembers, I'm looking for the picture of Nilly and me at Golden Gate park last year at Nillyfest San Francisco. If anybody has it, or can tell me who has it, please let me know. And thanks.

ETA: Oh! Heather, congrats on the job! And uh-oh on the hair. Glad it was no worse. I hope you get to take the course(s) you want to, as well.

Jen, did I mention that I talked about you when I was in L&D, chatting with the nurses who were doing their OB training?

You'd have totally fit in.

Veeeeery interesting.

Woo-hoo!

lisah, love the hair. The red is gorgeous.

Gud, much ~ma for the counseling. I hope it all works out for the good. For all the grief this marriage seems to bring you, you have shown commitment and staying power, and that has to be a good thing, right?

To all library school students and potential library school students: bwaahaha! Our plot to take over the world through sharing knowledge continues apace!

To everyone, please excuse any possible craxy. Migraines suck.

Hmm... maybe we need to team up with Clovis. We control the information, he controls the minds.

This could be fun.

And profitable.

I beg though.

Almost as much as the cats.

Oops, was that supposed to be a secret?

I knew my ears were burning for a reason!

And, OK, feeling very honored here that I was mentioned during that amazing event in your life.

AS had her interview this morning, it sounds like it went badly. She felt like one of the interviewers just took a dislike to her right off the bat. Made a disparaging comment over her study record (simply uncalled for). Actually asked her if she was planning to go back home, because they'd had two people leave like that recently. Beyond unprofessional into inappropriately personal.

So she was feeling down. We went out for lunch, she sent me an email letting me know that I'd cheered her up a lot. We're going to the movies on Sunday, I'm looking forward to it.
