Oh my god that bike is incredible

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That bike needs to be in the next Batman movie.

I looked at someone funny for using the term "sit bone" and he defended himself by saying it was the real term. I grant, rolls off the tongue a hell of a lot easier than ischial tuberosity. But it's nowhere near as fun to type.

To be fair, I don't think I have ever heard the term "ischial tuberosity" at all.

Dog is my co-pilot.

On Saturday I'll be putting my first floor back together. We had to box up breakables and a gazillion CDs because we had most of the flooring on our first floor replaced today. [Link].

On Sunday I'll be matching up applicants with Labrador retrievers.

DH is on a road trip this weekend to see ballgames in Chicago and Milwaukee.

Robin, it depends on what you mean by a watch list. There are lists of SDNs (Specially Designated Nationals) that are both individuals and entities who have been declared as or being investigated for funding/working with terrorists: [link]

Bobbi, that floor is gorgeous!

Thanks, sarameg. We've been in this house for 21 years, and someday it'll be the way I want it! I just keep sitting on my living room couch staring at the floors. Of course I notice every speck of dirt, every piece of dog hair, and every drop of drool/water. I need to teach my dogs to dry their mouths after drinking. And they need to stop shedding now. Oh, and no more toenail growth.

ETA: I'll get over the OCD thing fairly soon. I do, after all, live with 4 dogs and one human male.

How prevalent is "sit bone" as a common term for ischial tuberosity?

I've heard it in Pilates a lot.

Holy cow.

MsScribe posted a very long explanation of the Great SockPuppet Debacle, then got fandomwanked, then deleted it. Someone on FW kindly summarized it, though.

Oy.

Ahaha. Yes. Whether it is a freshly washed car, a clean shirt when feeding a baby, freshly washed windows...those first few bits of dirt drive you batshit.

I had a friend who always threw a rock at her car bumper everytime she got a brand new one. Her logic was that as long as she controlled the first ding, she wouldn't flip out over the following ones. Think she's goofy, but whatever works.
