Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I loved the Cherry Ames books. Had my mom's with the red cloth covers. Student Nurse, Private Duty Nurse, Army Nurse, Ranch Nurse...
I am worried that family lines may cross 6-7 generations back when people from my mother's side and we think my father's side were in what became West Virginia at the same time.
My dad's family is from West Virginia.
The romance book I mentioned above quotes this little ditty that the troops sang while waiting for the reinforcements that never came:
We are the battling bastards of Bataan,
No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam;
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces;
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces;
And nobody gives a damn.
Noah doesn't get a cool Batman costume like mac. I almost got him this one [link] but I am cheap and $24 was too much. If Grace were healthy and at home, she'd have gotten this one [link]
As it, I bought a used one of this one [link] but it's prolly still too big for Noah.
We are the battling bastards of Bataan,
Huh. That's, um... bitter.
Here's a song US Navy Helldiver pilots sang (The Helldiver was not a great plane):
Oh Mother, dear Mother, take down that blue star
Replace it with one that is gold
Your son is a Helldiver pilot
He'll never be thirty years old
The people who work for Curtis
Are frequently seen good and drunk
One day with an awful hangover
They mustered and designed that clunk
In light of today's discussion, HIMYM just got hilarious.
I just got there, and YEAH IT DID
cute baby costumes!
We totally lucked out on the Batman costume on ebay. I think I will still try to find a yellow or gold utility belt, but as it is, it will work and he is beyond himself.
I love that he's so excited, msbelle. What does he think so far of halloween?
Huh. I guess I am (at least) an octoroon. I shall fill that in the next time I'm asked my race.
Totally! It's such a funny word. It sounds like a type of cookie.
I kind of want a cookie, actually. Hmm.
Flamingo!!
Seriously, will anyone please do me a favor and vote for Josie and Alec? I'm not expecting him to win, but I really don't want him to go home first again. That would suck. Voting is easy and you can do it online at abc.com. Pretty please? Okay. That's all I'll ask. For tonight. I mean, I only have so much willpower.
If this [link] came in adult, I would be ALL OVER IT!
Huh. That baby is wearing an earring.
