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 just missed qualifying for level 11. Level 9 is when I started to be off on the countries.
Of course, most of that country knowledge comes from the Geography Challenge that someone linked to eons ago: [link]
ETA: Travel IQ 116
My travel IQ was 108 and I was locked out of level 10
Sue is my geography challenge twin!
I took my car into to be fixed (left over accident problem) today. They promised it would be fast but it's the end of the day and they had to take the car somewhere else because they don't know what's wrong. That's fine but I'm kicking myself because I left Ellie's carseat in the car (because I trusted them).
I have a friend who will take me to get the car seat but she wants to go to the post office first. All this means that Iwill be rather late picking up Ellie and I feel almost panicky about that. Weird - I know she 's safe...why is this bugging me so much. (Well, because I'm a total control freak who hates being late, but still...)
OMG I just did the Canada Quiz, and bombed on the Ontario section.
Kat, you are an amazing, remarkably, kick-ass mom.
ION, I've found our USB cable for the digital camera and the battery charger. Somehow, they ended up in the box with the hats, scarves and mittens.

I dunno, dude. She lets me hold her kids.That's pretty reckless.

My two cent completely unqualified psychological opinion is that on some viceral mental level you feel like you aren't keeping your daughter safe because you lost possession of an object that literally exists to keep her safe.
Really, how much in a child's life can a parent control? And its less and less as she gets older. A car seat is so mechanical and physical and certain. Not to mention that you're hopped-up on gestational hormones which surely exascerbate these instincts at times.
Travel IQ is 113. I rock at Europe and the Middle East but kept getting in trouble taking random stabs at islands I knew were somewhere in the Pacific. We won't talk about how far off I was on the Galapagos.
