I knew tigers were swimmers, and food is a major incentive. I just never imagined what it would look like. That first picture could give a person nightmares.

We were drilled about citing in High School-- to the point where I think we may have over-cited. I remember doing an A paper that cited every sentance (I think it was a research report about the Louvre,so I didn't have many originalideas!) We just learned some method of citing that was not the one I needed to use in college (the MLA).

Today another woman and I yelled at a teenage asshat on the bus. Our bus was packed like sardines today (not ususally the case)-- With an unusual number of mom's and babies and strollers. And these teenage boys sitting in the handicapped seats did not get up to give the mom carrying a six month old a seat! Both of were like "You need to get up and give this lady a seat!". Then I got up and gave another lady with a toddler a seat even though there were about 8 teenage boys sitting -- I can't believe these kids!

Those are awesome tiger pictures. I'd guess they are all snarly-faced to keep the water out of their ears.

ita, it's horrid you have a new symptom/manifestation. Sheesh.

tigers are COOL! That diving thing rocks.

So, Noah needs surgery to close the hole in his aorta. Tentatively, it's scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Same surgery as Grace had weeks ago.

Also, I have been getting the first set of hospital bills. Just for the stay, not including pathology or consults, each of my kids has racked up over $430,000 in hospital bills for one month.

I have been told too often that a guy won't hang out with a chick for any considerable time if he's not angling for something more.

and yet I think I have this friend who spends time with this guy a lot. um, she's pretty and smart, let's see who is she again?

My favorite plagiarism incident was in France where a student handed in a exact copy of my model outline (from the year before) of the article assigned.

Surgery ~ma for Noah, and for you and your family, Kat.

each of my kids has racked up over $430,000 in hospital bills for one month.

And they're worth every penny. Heck, I hope part of my insurance payments or tax dollars helped.

Sparky, thank you. That's incredibly sweet.

I keep thinking, "Thank god it's hard to repossess kids!"

This afternoon K and I saw Waitress. It was TOTALLY pie porn. But it has msbelle's secret celeb boyfriend.

I'm sorry he needs the surgery, but glad it will fix him up right quick! Wishing him hale & hearty. & definitely what Sparky said.

I was talking to my mom and it turns out my twin cousins were born at your hospital. 43 years ago! (They didn't even know there were twins until... they had to deliver 2! Freaky!) Anyway, one had a PDA as well, though I'm not sure what they had to do about it. Anyway, said twin is busy terrifying his parents by crashing his hang-glider and racking up $500 worth of parking tickets in one week in NYC.

I didn't mention I disagree with this guy?

However, it seems that every time the woman's been mostly sure it's not a date, it's a date. Not sure it all? It mightn't be a date. Mostly but not totally? Homeboy wants to hit it.

How did you handle it? With maximum embarrassment, I'd hope.

Wow, Kat. Numbers are scary. Still, there are more important things to hand, like your boynoodle getting patched up.
