River ,'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Daniel Tammet--the British Guy. He's autistic, too, but much less impaired than Kim Peek. I thought there was more than one savant they used for Rain Man--at least they mentioned the movie in this interview.
Edited--
I'm paying more attention, now. He MET Kim Peek and they call him Brainman.
They also at least interviewed Christopher Knowles when they were developing the Rainman characters. (It's mentioned here: [link] .)
msbelle is an awesome mom for making sure mac knows all about rocketships!
t, you reminded me... next step in office plan: get firesafe lockbox.
I was gonna say the same. The filebox I got is just a plastic rubbermaid and I'm thinking I should've gotten the firebox one. Didn't occur to me until later. Birth cert, passports, social security card, insurance and bank stuff...it's all in there.
1 hour to part 2 of Jane Eyre!
That forced me to watch 60 minutes. DH always watches, but I rarely enjoy it.
Talk about spicy brains.
So, maybe Angelina Jolie wasn't so psyched at the Golden Globes because her mother was dying: [link]
My bc is the original issued filed (I misread the thing) by the hospital. Which means it is a really crappy copy of the original filed with the state, but with the actual sig of the local deputy registrar.
What I find interesting (and irksome) social commentary is that it states my father's profession, but there is no such box for my mother. There's more info on my dad on that form than there is on the woman who carried me. @@ 1975!
I think mine had a space for my mom's profession. I'll have to check when I get it back.
When I was in high school or so, I made my mother get a new Filene's charge card, because she was still carrying one that said Mrs. My Father's Name. That she got when he was in grad school and she was supporting him. No way he was paying that bill, and they still wouldn't give her a card with her own name on it. She asked.
My mom's said that she had trouble applying for a credit card in her own name before she was married. She couldn't convince the credit card people that she was single and supporting herself. (This was maybe 1970 or so, and she was working as a computer programmer.)
That shit was so ridiculous.
