Erin in Natter:
Nope, I am whoring for money. Um, not actual whoring. WHORING my BRAIN.
Summer school starts on the 18th. I have Professional Development, which is normally fine since I enjoy my profession, but this week I would rather eat my own eyeballs on toast.
And summer school ends August 10th...and back-to-school ProfDevt begins August 13th. If I get more developed, I'ma need a new brain-bra.
Toddson: what's Swedish for memento mori?
Frankenbuddha: Ikea?
Jilli
speaks for many of us in
Bitches:
I have no memory of me wandering off as a child. I think I was pretty happy to stay where I was, as long as I had a book and a stuffed animal to talk to.
brenda m: Budapest survived being smushed, right? So I'm sure Chicaginnati-Philabaltimore will too.
In Natter:
Hil R.: Anybody around who speaks German?
tommyrot: I watched Hogan's Heroes.
Jessica on her upcoming Interesting Event:
I'm hoping for the kind of labor/delivery they have on sitcoms, where my water breaks and then after the commercial break I magically have a newborn which looks suspiciously like a 6-month-old. And in the meantime, someone's done my hair and makeup.
Aimée: Oh! And on the baby songs, Blackbird was the first song I sang to Em. Yesterday was the one I sang during the middle of the night. And her newest favorites are Rainbow Connection, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baby Mine.
I've gotten so sick of Baby Mine that I've started doing a Sid Vicious version.

Laura: I sing when alone, or in front of my husband and children. I tell them they have to deal with it. When the boys are misbehaving on trips DH and I sing classic rock, loud and with enthusiasm. It straightens them right out.
tommyrot, in Natter:
Also, I think there are warnings of large, pterodactyl-like creatures swooping down and carrying people off to feed their young....
eta: In what the National Guard is referring to as "a Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie scenario".
Topic!Cindy in Natter:
I want something with sass, which won't look like mom-hair, but won't look like nightclub-hair, either.
I need a hairy godmother.

shrift : "It'd be neat if they could make an electronic keychain that would tell me what word I'm fumbling for at the press of a button."
Steph L. : "Wouldn't that just be a keychain that says "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"?"
