Five too early for a drink?
I say the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.
Nora, what I use to get through those hellish conclusions is to begin a sentence "Thus it can be seen that ...." That somehow gets me into the summary mode, even if I later write out the pretentious phrase. It is possible that this is only helpful to me.
I hope the surgery is uneventful and successful, Jilli. I've been under general anesthesia twice in the last few years and I had zero trouble with the anesthesia part. I did discover that it helps to tell the anesthesiologist every odd reaction to drugs you've ever had. Also, after my last surgery, which was pretty long, I would have tortured a puppy for a bottle of water on the way home. My mouth has never been so dry.
My parents used to put me to sleep by going for a drive. The vibrations + noise of the engine were apparently very soothing to me.
That worked on my firstborn, too. Put 'er in the baby bucket, drive around the block, and she was out.
Then you had the fun task of getting the baby bucket back into the house without waking her.
Sympathies, Plei. I think all of us have been there.
Yeah, car thing worked with/for me too. Getting the seats out with the boogers still asleep is the biggest trick.
I say the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.
And dark. I say it's time for a glass of wine.
I'm 400 words into a 1800 word paper and the brain is ded.
Blarg.
Is the vaccuum cleaner thing like the car thing? Sound and vibration? Maybe you could try that and skip the transferring of the sprog?
Or, if you have it in-house, clothes dryer, perhaps
Do not put the baby IN the dryer.
Especially not if you're going to turn it on.
This is wild, there is a woman on Antiques Roadshow who is a great, great, great, great grand daughter of John Brown.
This makes her a distant cousin of mine (I'm decended from one of his brothers). Its kinda weird.
