Cashmere, just remember if you kill him he can't help with the kid wrangling.

(KP International) – Mark Ivanir recently revealed that his Good Shepherd costar, Matt Damon, saved his life while filming a torture scene.

Prior to shooting the scene in which Ivanir is held down, has his clothes cut off and has a burlap bag placed over his head while being drenched in freezing water, Damon decided to make up a mercy code, Us Weekly reported.

"Matt told me, 'We should have a warning sign if you feel like you're really in danger. You really could get hurt with that mask suffocating your face,'" Ivanir said. "Sure enough, if Matt hadn't thought of an alert to stop filming, I really would have passed out and died. It would have been great publicity for the film, but not so good for my career!" >[link]

On the one hand, where was the fight director? (or whomever it is that choreographs violence in films.)

On the other hand, I think Matt should give an interview on his obvious indepth knowledge of safe words. To me. Somewhere quiet. And maybe with candles. If he... likes candles.

good point, sj. I'll refrain. I'm also leaning towards letting some of the issues go. It won't do anyone any good if I'm stressed.

Must. Relax.

I just called in a sitter for this afternoon. She'll keep the kids so I can run some errands faster and easier.

Relax~ma, Cashmere. Good luck getting stuff done; I'm glad you were able to get a sitter, that should make things less stressful for you.

I need to learn to not get so stressed about things too. I was hormonal and crazed yesterday trying to get stuff done. The good news is, I am now off the crazy making BCPs, and hopefully the new ones will not be as crazy making.

I have to say, I *love* my IUD. I *did* have residual cramping for the first month, until I got my period, but now everything is copacetic.

The idea of an IUD just makes me nervous. It's probably completely irrational, but it isn't something I am likely to try anytime soon.

On the loving the IUD train. I don't have the hormone one - just the regular ole cooper one.

Suzi, I'm glad to know y'all got home safe, and the quake must not have registered with me, because I don't remember it. Personally, having lived in Tornado Cul-de-sac, I'd much rather have the earth move than the sky fall. Though - if I had lived through the Good Friday Quake (9.2, original shock went on for 4 minutes), I might feel differently. (Just saw a special on it.)

Relaxing vibes to Cashmere & sj! Ommmmmm.....

So aggravated - I ordered a Hula Lilo for Em for Christmas. The box got here last night.

It was Stitch.

We HAVE two Stitch's. I need a Hula Lilo!! I emailed them and alerted them of their error last night and thus far, no answer. Grrr.

I see the craxy expensive phone, I think "birth control pills".

• That's* what it was reminding me of!
