Oh, that's adorable.

It sorta reminds me of a story a friend told me about her niece. The quite-young niece dropped a cell phone into the toilet. [Edit: writing this, it seems like there must have been some story behind this - but no, that's not the story.]

My friend managed to fish it out before it was lost forever (still no idea whether she managed to dry it off and return it to use), and said "you know, when I was your age, one couldn't have done that".

She meant, of course, that all the phones had cords and were attached to walls and the like, so dropping them to toilets - well, even carrying them to bathrooms - was quite impossible.

The little girl opened big eyes: "what, you had no toilets when you were a kid"?

Oh, msbelle -- exciting news! I don't know if I just didn't see it, or if it's back, but my grocery store did have the ranch mix powder today.

I have a friend whose little girl was watching an old movie on television when she was 6 or 7 and said to her mother, "What was it like when everything turned colored?"

Hivemind: am I using the "albeit" word properly in the sentence below?

An acquaintance immunization with 10% immunized nodes presents a dynamic which is much more similar to that of the targeted immunization, albeit with a different precentage of immunized nodes.

Man KHepburn's character is annoying like woah! I had forgotten that.

Yes, albeit is correct. However, did you mean percentage? Or is precentage correct in this usage?

I was reading this article [link] about a woman who gives lectures on class and came across this quote:

She had already explained why rich people don’t eat casseroles, why poor people hang their pictures high up on the wall, why middle-class people pretend to like people they can’t stand.

I am confused by the poor* people with the picture high on the wall-- because I am poor and I always hung my pictures low because I didn't know the rule about hanging things at eye level.

• for values of poor that don't seem to exist now- working class, I guess.

Thanks! I didn't spell-check yet, and now you saved me that, as well! The hivemind is the best.
