Aimee, when my oldest was about Em's age we went through a year of about one cold a month, and about 1/3 of those got passed on to us. The Doc said that it was "normal" at this age and to expect up to 12 a year. I about fainted thinking about one cold a month BUT once they get over this age (1 - 2 years) their immune systems bulks up a bit and they fight off more and more, plus they slow down on the putting things in their mouth stage too. The upside was that neither kid got really sick when they started school. They still end up with a minor cold at the beginning of the school year but that's about it now.

I need a bigger salary.

I actually like my natural color, but it coppers out in the sun and starts to look really unhealthy. Ah well. I jus wish the whole thing would go grey or white or whatever it's going to do.

Heh:

"The Bush administration is asking Google to turn over all its records in a porn investigation. They want to know who has been using Google to look up pornography. You know what that means? We're all going to jail." --Jay Leno

I never google for porn ... I just click on Buffista links and it's there!

UGH. I am so FUCKING angry right now at timing and...ugh. I am like out of control, and SO disproportionately FUCKING FURIOUS.

I'm kind of confuzzled by the whole p0rn thing. I mean, if the US adminstration cracks down on internet p0rn, what's to stop the distributors from just buying server space in the Cayman Islands or where ever and going on their merry way?

Breathe Nora. What's up?

I can't... it's too stupid to be this upset about. I can't even write it down.

It doesn't have to be legally effective to be effective at making people think "boy they're tough! they're really doing something!"

AND they get to violate peoples privacy in the name of protecting us. SO much fun so spy on the citizenry but you have to do it all gradual-like so they'll accept it.

Kids in daycare get all the viruses in their first year in daycare; kids who stay home with just the family get all the viruses in their first year in either play-group or school.

That was my experience with Emmett. He was sick about once a month that first year.

Teppy, I don't know if JZ is around but she was calling you a cow-eyed pompous nosy bitch wasn't offended at all by your offering yesterday. You are dead to her. Don't sweat it.

Nora, you have my leave to go stab somebody with a pushpin until you feel better.
