In adopting-but-not-a-child news, our new standard poodle arrives tomorrow. He is 2 and has lived with a crazy dog hoarder all his life. She is 86 and had a mild stroke and the animal rescue people are working with her daughter to place all her dogs while she is in the hospital, so when she gets home she will just have one or two. We met him at the dog adoption fair (where we went just to "look" Ha!) and he has been over and met our dog and cats and all seemed pretty cool. I am excited and worried and hope all goes well. I am trying to get in touch with my inner Cesar Milan, in case she needs a lot of training.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, I'm happy for friends who start trying and get pregnant with little drama or worry. AFTER my initial reaction of split-second crankitude.
And as long as people don't go all self-righteous about their glorious birth experiences, and how if you were only doing it right, you too could have an unattended waterbirth while whales sang to you, I'm thrilled when people have trouble-free pregnancies and the birth they wanted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In this course, you will learn...?

This is the second time I've accidentally kicked the help desk phone line out of the splitter under my desk. My feet are passive-aggressive!

Your feet have an understandable attitude towards help desk work.
