Problem with my med stuff is that it's complex and expensive. I'm already taking a salary hit--the tradeoff for commute is sure sweet, but I'm worried about sticker shock when the deductions hit. I'd budgeted in all my stupid med stuff already.

As for pillows, I got most of mine at Costco. If you're looking for jewel tone chenille, you can have mine. Not that avoiding a dust mite problem is exactly how I'd pitch to a mother of twin preemies, but I can't lie to you.

Time Warner makes me miss Adelphia.

As for TiVo, just shoot.

Sure, Robin. Are you feeling better?

Is there someone in HR who can help you?

I've had help, but I'm gambling with future diagnoses, specialists, and treatments. I'd need a soothsayer.

Hmm... Jewel tone chenille would be exactly right. But dust mites? I think that's a bad idea.

Noah opened his eyes today. It was cute. Cuter than the green gunk in his gavage tube.

Well, if you can find soft cushions that won't house them, give me a holler. I'm going to miss having cushions stacked around something terrible.

Eye opening, bathing, diapers? Good baby day.

kat, yes, I am. Plus, you know, I just really miss you. Shall I email you tomorow to find out a good time to arrive?

Robin, yep!

Yeah, ita, our current house is less dust mite heaven, but still. Hmm.... so yes that makes me reconsider your nice chenille cushions.

Some slightly hopeful FNL News:

NBC has ordered six more scripts.

That's good, right?

Could be what -t said or could be something on the hand wheel that toggles. I don't know that particular machine.

Yeah. It's kind of a hard one to find support for and that's before calculating in its ancientness. It could also be something on the hand wheel though, because I was having issues with the belt when pressing the pedal, so I was futzing with that a lot. Bah! I shall think no more on it!

I hope so. I would be really, really sad to see that show go. There is so much to explore there. I love how it shows that sort of small town in the (sort of by some standards) South, warts and all, and finds some real affection for the culture while acknowledging its problems.
