Kat, stand by your guns. Do what you think is best for Grace.

I admit that the idea of a DNR for an infant appalls me, too. It was difficult enough for us to ask for a DNR for Teddy when he was in the hospital for IV fluids last month. So I can't even imagine what it's like to even think of that kind of order for an infant.

But the hospital needs to realize that a DNR may be the best of a bad set of options. And as a parent, you make the decision. Not the hospital. And certainly not me.

10 out of 10 on the phishing. Just look for typos and awkward phrasing. Usually a giveaway.

Unfortunately, it also gives away the designers, printing plants, and stock photo agencies I deal with by e-mail. There are basically 3 people at work (all of them editors) whose e-mails don't make me cringe. Well, actually two of them make me cringe as well, but not over grammar issues.

Crying for you, Jesse. Really.

Heh. I know, I know.

I have Vampire People in my purse. I was patiently waiting for my Amazon pre-order to arrive, but I went to Borders after work yesterday, and there it was on the shelf!

Oh yeah, I liked Theo's post too. The only thing I'd point out is that scientists have figured out (fairly recently) how a bumblebee flies.

Seriously, though, I was all excited when I found out that GPS actually has to use special relativity, because how often do you use something in daily life that depends on something so technologically awesome?

This is true. Sort of an "in your face!" to people who think all this fancy relativity stuff has no real impact in the "real world."

So I got a McDonalds Big Breakfast for breakfast. Bastards forgot to give me salt and pepper for my eggs. So I went digging through my desk drawer looking for old leftover McDonalds salt and pepper packets. I found a pepper packet right away, but it took a few minutes of digging through all the crap before I was all, "Yay! Salt!" So now I'm as happy as the creature on that ST:TOS episode that killed people by sucking all the salt from their bodies. Pretty soon I'll probably turn into McCoy's old girlfriend....

Hey guys -- do you ever feel like your gentials aren't being displayed to their full advantage when you're in a swimsuit? This one has "show it" technology! [link] (Found via Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.)

You know, starting the day by opening yesterday's mail and discovering an offer for discount cemetary plots is just....odd.

My knee itches and I'm pondering the plague that is learned or willful helplessness.

eta: I am so not clicking that link.

I'm still waiting for the coffee to kick in. Or the Benadryl.

The link's not that bad.

Okay, now I have to ice the cake.
