ita, I had this weird-ass dream last night where you were dating a guy, and for some reason your father announced that you had to decide right then whether or not this guy was going to stay in your life (the implication being, I think, that it would be a long-term thing).
And you, understandably, thought that was, you know, INSANE, and told your dad you weren't going to make any such decision. So your dad said "Well, then we'll have to decide for you." The "we" was your father, me, and 3 other people who -- in the dream -- were also your friends.
We had to, essentially, decide whether you should make a serious long-term commitment to Dude. We could only vote yes or no; we couldn't vote "Just let them keep dating and see what happens."
I voted Yes, for the record, because you really liked Dude.
The 4 friends' votes were tied, and your dad (with some relish) said that he'd be the tie-breaker. He voted No.
You did not krav him for that, though I thought you should have.
I never EVER have normal dreams.
But Cindy - he's only the specialist, not our regular OB. We have to see if we can finagle all of our future u/s to be performed by this guy. Go health insurance!
The specialists are kick ass. When we went in to determine Em's sex, it took him about 10 seconds to find out.
There's also the point that Congresscritters never take their oaths of office on any books. The book is for the photo-op afterward. It's a friggin' prop. If I'm ever elected to office, I want to be photographed with my right hand on The Joy of Cooking.
When I did my jury duty, there was no mention of God or the bible anywhere. Witnesses swore that they'd tell the truth, end of story. It was simply not an issue.

Yes! Finagle finagle finagle. Hey, lori, how far along are the twins? If Kat said, I missed it.
I never had the hi-tech ultra sounds, but I did have an ultra-sound the day Julia was born, because they were going to induce me (after spending two months on partial rest, because she nearly came early). I could see her facial features so clearly, I really had an excellent idea of what she was going to look like. It was like being spoiled for an episode by reading the wildfeed.

If you're not swearing on Alton Brown (himself, not a book), I'm not going to trust a word you say.

My left hand will be on Alton Brown, but they may have to blur it for television.
I'm pretty sure it was when I was on the jury in DC, and they just said to everyone, "Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth" etc. I think they had to raise their right hand and not do anything with the other.
hey juliana!
the aliens are 13.5 weeks along.
When I am notorizing a affidavit, the wording choice is...
Do you solomnly swear that the statements in this document are true to the best of your knowledge, so help you God?
or
Do you solomnly affirm under penalty of purgery that the statements in this document are true to the best of your knowledge?
So, it is kinda a now or later deal if you lie, depending on which oath you take.
