Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The inlaws?
And my parents. And my grandparents. All of whom will be worrying about us.

Hmm, like as a reward for surviving the past month? I could get behind that. That nifty new production of Sweeney Todd is opening.

Something frivolous but interesting: the Baby Name Wizard. It maps the frequency of names from one decade to the next for more than a century. It's got a surprisingly large number of names, all presented in a nifty user-friendly line graph.
Huge spike in my in the 70s and 80s, with a somewhat slower downward trend since. Kills some time and beats constant hurricane updates. Unless they're pertinent to you, which is less the case in Kansas than other places.
EDIT: The practice of using "Jayne" seems to have died out in 1970. Sad to see zero hits for boys of that name, though not surprised.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dana, whatever you decide to do, I hope the stress levels somehow decrease. (This is why we need magic wands as well as flying cars).
What is Ranch 1?
I have left over Chinese food that I should eat for dinner, but I think I want sushi instead.
I decided I can't watch Nip/Tuck until I have caught up with the last season, but then my tivo recorded it as a suggestion anyway.

What is even happening?
Dana, evacuate if you can. If you evacuate for nothing, oh well.

Okay. I'm heading out to buy comics and beer, and I'm already worried because I noticed that I have a tire going soft, but I'm keeping my cell phone on, and there better not be any disasters while I'm gone!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Crap. My sister and my niece live in Houston. Cypress to be specific.
ND, that's exactly where my brother and his family (wife, 2 kids) are, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Google saves infant from unnecessary transfusion
Howard and Melissa of Boca Raton, Florida found out first hand that the Internet can be a powerful tool for parents. A few weeks after they brought their premature twins, Andrew and Carly, home from the hospital Andrew had to be admitted to the ER. The doctors told them that the baby had a serious problem, that his hemoglobin levels had dropped from 14 (at birth) to 7. The doctors wanted to do an emergency blood transfusion immediately. Using his cell phone, Howard used Google to search for “hemoglobin” and “premature infant.” The results were surprising. He found a medical journal article which said that it’s normal for preemie twins to have a drop in their hemoglobin levels during the first three months.
Howard gave the link to the doctors, and they spent a few hours researching it. When they returned, they “sheepishly admitted that our son was indeed fine - no treatment was necessary…Google literally saved our newborn son from having to endure an extremely dangerous, and totally unnecessary, blood transfusion.”
