Oooh, my Moo mini cards came in today! I got 100 cards with pictures of the kids on them and my name/email/mobile phone on them.
I'm hoping they're useful for parent-networking. Plus, they're cute!
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I saw something on TV recently that a local woman is making "tottoos" - stickers you put on your kids' hands and it says "if lost please call" and a place to write your phone number. It's seemingly useful for when you have a bunch of young children going someplace - like a field trip - and someone wanders a bit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Plus, they're cute!
Heh. Cool. I've still not fallen to the moo. My idea is considerably less useful, but that doesn't mean they can't be infinitely amusing.

Back to school news: The first laptop of the year has been stolen. The student left it in the library, conveniently zipped up in its leather carrying case, and went to an interview. When she came back an hour later it was gone.
She says it's our fault, but I am not impressed by her argument.

Seriously? She expected it to still be there?

Well, she's a student - aren't you supposed to look after her valuables when she leaves them lying around? (bet she'd say the same thing if she walked off and left the keys in her car's ignition)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
She is not very bright, is she?

Apparently!
I asked about sending a message to the student body to let them know to watch their things and was told I could not because that makes us look bad and upsets the students who pay heaps of money to go here.
So, I expect Mr or Miss thief to come back tomorrow and see what else is lying around.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
engagement rings: I've known more guys that engagement rings were more important to them. The explanation that I got was that by saving the money and spending it on something for her was a big commitment gesture for them - and in some cases, proving that they could save money - proved to themselves that they were ready for the responsibilities of married life.
My engagement ring is diamonds, but the diamonds came from Matt's grandmothers' rings. His mom had them reset for whichever son got engaged first. So, I like that it has some family history
