I don't think that was dirty bits (well, not the good ones), so much. It read like Proverbs to me. Whatever. Herah's explanation was a keeper.

OK, only "dirty" for a six year old.

What origin would we guess the name "Gad Berdugo" to be? And what might Gad be short for?

(Trying to research someone my bro has an MBA interview with tomorrow. Not finding much so I'm trying to figure out ways to broaden the search.)

What does that mean, missy? If you are worried, y'all never pinged that. I've lived across from this family for a while. He's LOUD, railroading loud.

I actually think of myself as rather loud and teasing. Okay, maybe you can't hear me across the street....

I've never thought of you as being all that loud either, Robin.

I can't quite describe the difference. I never felt the urge to tone you (or anyone else that week) down. I felt quite well emeshed. This is just... ok, this is like a stereotypical construction site, without the off color stuff. Or my brother's inlaws. It just pings me. I think it involves a certain lack of awareness, or lack of concern (eta: ok, that sounds really judgemental, and I'm trying not to read that into it. I am very private and pretty reserved. And there are people who are not and who cannot conceive of that, and to them, my world is really uptight. I'd fit as poorly in their circle as they would mine. Except I will be pissy about the inlaws,) as to how the other person is reacting, of their really tight boundaries.

TV rec: Independent Lens on PBS- Lion in the House. Follows several families and the medical teams through cancer diagnoses. First part was on MPT tonight, second tomorrow.

I think I should go to bed in my cool, cool apartment now.

They were six in April (should have been June). They're going into first grade in the fall, and they just finished their first Little League season. I ran across their old bathtubs a couple of weeks ago, the ones the hospital sent home with them, and couldn't believe how small they were...DH soaked his feet, one in each tub. They're big and strong and healthy now. (The twins. The feet are just big.)

And yes, Proverbs. Suggestive without being really interesting. There are certainly passages that would have been much harder to explain.

Six, my goodness. I can hardly believe it. Fabulous answer, Herah. And quick thinking!

What origin would we guess the name "Gad Berdugo" to be? And what might Gad be short for?

I don't know about the last name, but Gad can be Hebrew.

edit: and google tells me that Berdugo is a Moroccan Jewish family. So Gad Berdugo is most likely Israeli.

Caught up on Rescue Me. I'm in agreement with what y'all said. I'm not bailing on it yet,, but I'm close.

Watching Deadwood now. Worried about Alma and her baby dammit
