Things discovered this morning:
1) Perkins the cat slides a lot more than he used to when he does his mad dash to attack the kitty crack pad thing.
2) 1) makes me laugh like a loon.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

Dog is my co-pilot.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. We just got back from a swimming expedition with Lucy, our yellow Lab. She's 11-1/2 but remains an obsessive retriever. New pics on my Flickr page.
My interpretation of on versus in the bed is the same as others who have answered. Our dogs are permitted on top of the bedspread but not on the sheets or pillowcases. Lucy sleeps on the bed by Dave's feet.
As for dog hair, I think my DH sheds almost as much as any of the dogs. I have a vacuum cleaner on each floor of the house and keep plenty of lint rollers handy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey!
I am officially down 7 pounds! Which doesn't seem like much, and I haven't really noticed, but slowly but surely, weight is coming off.
It probably would come off faster if I didn't eat the occasional 6 piece 250 calorie chicken mcnuggets or the 200 calorie mexican coke.
But seriously, I think I'd go bananas if I didn't do that once a week.
Oh, and I had a Dots Oreo cupcake last week (it was someone's birthday) so that was probably like, 600 additional calories.
But! 7 pounds of nasty fat. Gone.

YAY being down weight... that's a very good thing.
I'm still slowly putting things away after the house being sprayed. What a pain. all of the baby stuff is ziplocked, but we have to rewash pots and pans etc. which is a nightmare.

Go you, paperdol.
Whoot, brenda. I am so in love with your new place. Also, yay, frontloaders. Remember to leave the door of the washer open a bit after you're done to let any excess water evaporate (it can't naturally through the top).
Man, I just missed the best deal evah on craigslist frontloaders. He3t's for $800. Got email back from her at 11 last night, gone by 10 this morning. Whoops.
Our dog is everywhere, all the time. He's like, quantum dog. I have become accustomed to the perpetual dog hair, but I forget that other people aren't.

So, I've learned an important lesson about the color yellow. When your baby is already jaundiced, putting her in yellow is not a good idea: [link]
