I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My cousin knew this guy whose wife and mistress got pregnant at the same time. They actually went into labor at the same time... at the same hospital!

Wait, that was a Dudley Moore movie....

Our wings are not tired.

It's Spring! (well, I have flowers all year, but these just popped up this week) [link]

My sisters gave birth um, 20 years before I did. You'd think I would have headed their warnings.

I dunno. I find iTunes and my iPod easy and user-friendly, and oh god, sweet wonderful iPod, don't die before I can afford a swanky 160GB replacement!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

those are gorgeous Laura.

I am shrift wrt iThings.

Sue, that is just annoying - I am pretty sure I do not need to know about co-workers sizes/diets/starving unless they are also close friends. It is too much of a touchy subject for most people.

From Emily's link about teacher pay: "If you’re putting all of your resources into teachers in the classroom, are you shorting some of the other aspects of what a good school requires?"

Isn't the ideal a teacher on one end of a log and a student on the other?

The condom video is my favorite infomercial ever.

Sue, that is just annoying

That was Sophia. But I agree, it's annoying.

Also annoying: skinny people complaining about being fat, anyone on a diet getting pissy if someone else brings in treats, people commenting on your lunch vis a vis your dieting situation "Oh a salad, you must be watching your weight." "Pizza for lunch again? You're going to puff right up if you keep eating like that."

Me too, although I've only owned the iPods with displays.

I think iTunes is pretty good, so I don't mind being "forced" to use it. I love how it tracks how many times I've played each song and when the last time was, so I can create all sorts of smart playlists using this info.

people commenting on your lunch vis a vis your dieting situation

I think commenting on someone's lunch in any way except to say "that looks/smells delicious" is kind of rude.

Also, when you call someone to clarify a question you have, they should just give you a simple easy answer, all wrapped in a bow! They should not open a huge can of worms and make you think harder!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Indeed. I was actually giving myself pats on the back last week when my department had cupcakes and I didn't have one. I just didn't have one, rather than getting into anything about why or whatever.
