I stayed home from school today. Sleeping in was nice, but now I have to get to work to justify this indulgence.

no kidding! DH was 91 or 90 (can't remember) -> 95.

Oh, before my time. I was in the summer of 90, I think.

I am totally and completely charmed by the idea of a fraternal order of buses...and their annual rodeo. How incredibly cool is that?

mine put me in touch with a group of fantastically smart women I might have missed out on getting to know on an otherwise huge campus.

This is what I assumed they were all supposed to be like before I entered into the rush process...and I'm pretty sure it is what my sadstory roommate expected as well. But once she was in, the awful just turned into a hellish snowball (imagine spikes of you-HAVE-toos and the broken glass of inescapable conformity).

I've mentioned in here before how hard it was just being the roommate of a rushie...having my room trashed around me, being threatened with haha bondage, total lack of respect for space, property or time. I literally cried for her over the sleep deprivation, debasement and insane logic brainwashing.

I'm glad to hear that other'sgreekmilagevaried because I'd hate to see that crap being spread any further than our campus walls.

Sox, what a wonderful resource site Travels with Child is! I'll definitely pass it on to my clients who are sure their traveling lives must end with the onset of children.

I always counter with my March-mate who strapped her 6 month old on her back and walked 3,000 miles, but your site is much more useful.

I just ate pork for the first time in... six years? Not sure how it will sit. It tasted okay though, so there's that.

beej! Thank you! That is great to hear - and also many future thanks for passing the site on.

It's not just me (and Iris), though - Raq's posts are filled with awesome. And hopefully there will be many more.

Jars! I heard about a major Guiness robbery ... no mention of a woman with pink hair though, so I guess you're clear.

Soooo glad I went to a college with no sorority system. Yay Quakers!

However, one amusing story - I was reading something on a board where they talked about Jesse Jackson (I think) being a Greek ... and someone in England posted something about how they weren't sure if "Greek" had any special meaning in the U.S., but otherwise "Jesse Jackson? Greek?!!!! WTF?"

Jars! I heard about a major Guiness robbery ... no mention of a woman with pink hair though, so I guess you're clear.

Ha! I can't believe you heard about that! We're all quite amused. I heard about a robbery in... Australia, I think, today, where they broke into a warehouse, stole a bunch of hams, and wrote 'Merry Christmas' on the wall. Mass theft, the new Christmas tradition.

I don't have a child, but I love your site, Sox. I will pass it on to my friends with kidlets.

The news announcer sounded quite envious.
