See also: why I don't have CFL bulbs anywhere near me, despite working for a cleantech practice. (They buzz. And flicker. Even the new ones. I realize I'm oversensitive, but I don't need to be gaslighted by newfangled technology.)
perzactly. Juliana is me. Also, I can tell you if any mid-size to large screen device has been left on but isn't receiving data anywhere in our house without looking. They hum funny. That I can do this drives DH batshit.

Also, very late here, but I'd definitely like to add an outraged WTFF?!??! to the whole issue with Kat's employers.

They hum at a frequency most people can't hear. Clearly, we are dogs.
On the up side, I fully expect this weird ability to help me predict any earthquakes in my vicinity.

clearly. there seem to be a lot more of us than I thought...
I have 20/10 vision - is that dog too?
Can I ask for some gift ideas?
What are some good gifts for a couple with a new baby? Not baby gifts but something they'd appreciate. Both of my brothers' wives are expecting new babies in the next month and, boy, it would make my gift-buying job easier/more cost efficient if a) I could get them each something as a couple rather than one for each brother, one for SiL and b) if I could get both couples basically the same thing.
I thought about movie tix along with an offer to babysit but am blanking on other good ideas.

this is a great idea.
a girlfriend just gifted another new-baby couple with two merry-maids cleaning gift certificates. That was WAY appreciated.
can you offer to make up a bunch of meals-to-freeze or a TJ's gift basket with emergency rations? We've been living on the frozen chow mein lately.
Tonight is my work christmas party.
I am wearing a stupid suit and heels.
BLEH.
Kristen is my date, and there's a Yankee gift exchange.
I purchased a seamonkey aquarium and a set of famous pirate playing cards with a "gold doubloon" that comes with a lead warning.
Waiting for Kristen to tell me which gift she wants to give.
lisah, how about food delivery gift certificates?
I continue to be grateful that my work party is in the afternoon on Monday.
