I can't imagine someone isnsist that you use fat calipers. 1)insane 2) the only accurate ones send electrical impluses through your body 3) insane

You should take them and measure his fat head.

Right, which is currently firmly planted up his ass.

FAT CALIPERS? WTF?

Yeah, that. Son's coach does that stuff. He is like 3% or something. Jock. I told him the words fat percentage and mom do not belong in the same sentence. He usually gets when I am absolute about something.

In Robert's defense (as far as measuring his own fat goes, I mean), I can see him getting them, to help monitor his own health and progress in improving/maintaining same.

But the rest of it is dumb stupid dumb.

Cash, I forgot to send you virtual hugs. Were I at all closer I would babysit or dogsit or anything you needed.

Tell Emmett that the ability to turn into a wolf comes from within.

Things Raq's DH Should Not Say To Her

BWAHAHAHA!!! Those are great. Want to know how many of them I've heard? (Hint: "That's what you get for spending your childhood outdoors in New Mexico." "Wow, that's an unattractive photo." "Would you quit getting your hair cut?")

(And while I don't think my DH would ever say the last one to me, I have a friend who said almost exactly that to his wife. And is somehow still married.)

He's a diplomat, right? How long have you two been married? Are you the only female he's ever met?

Only between 8-5 and with foreign governments. Long enough to know better. And yesterday he said, "Well, I can't really judge [topic] since I'm in a long-term committed same-sex relationship."

Getting off the topic of Me and Clueless Caliperman, the topic we were discussing is: Men try to make women laugh. Women say they want a guy who has a sense of humor and/or can make them laugh. But it doesn't work the other way around. Why not? (Adjusted for American culture, since I don't think the first two sentences apply in most cultures)

Jilli, Mal has been working on animal noises - Arf! Meow! Ribbit! - and has been demanding to know what bunnies say. I've been going with "MWAH-HA-HA." Any suggestions?

ME: Right. Piss me off and give me a sharp object. You must have gotten A's in diplomat school. Cashmere, I'm sorry.

IOmememeN, I got one hell of a haircut yesterday. I had been lazy and let my hair grow for a little bit, because it was behaving well and being nicely curly, etc. But then it got too unruly, and the super-dry winter air was making it not curl.

Before.

After.

I *love* it, but it's a bit of a shock to get used to. That was a LOT of hair gone. The Boy, despite being a lover of longer hair on women, very wisely said "It's pretty!"

---

LOVE the hair Steph.

Also?

I'm coming and stealing that dress.

Goober.

Clueless Caliperman

LOVE! Oh, if I knew how to do graphic stuff, there would be a cape and T-shirts available at Cafe Press.

Chris used to ask that about giraffes, as they were his favorite. I finally decided to make him laugh, because he wasn't accepting, "They don't talk," as an answer.

I'd say, "The cat says, 'meow'. The dog says, 'arf'. The cow says, 'moo'. The giraffe says..." Then, I'd open my mouth. Clamp it tight, in a really obvious way, wait a beat, look around, then say, "The frog says, 'ribbit', the sheep says, 'baaa'." Etc. He got it, and laughed, and stopped asking.

"MWAH-HA-HA" is good. "Minion!" would be another thing to try.

Oooh, that is a pretty haircut, Teppy.

Teppy! Your hair is faboo!
