No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Oh... dear.

Hehehehe. I think my brother started telling 'em that the day they discovered this pull-y thing attached to them.

Ah... youth.

Ahh... boys. Mine's at a point where he thinks ripping them so hard that it threatens to strip the varnish from the chairs is highly amusing. He's even taken to lifting one cheek slightly so there can be more reverb.

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, you should have seen my face when the daycare at the gym explained to me how much time Olivia spent in the vibrating bouncy seat they have for babies. *sigh*

We had to figure out our FSA/insurance annual enrollment this week, too. With us, it's always like tossing a dart at a dart board, rather then careful examination of our previous years' out-of-pocket expenses.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh fuck, FSA allotments are due. I have no idea if I even came a little bit close this year. Probably not, since I've forgotten to keep most of my receipts.

I'm not worrying about health care (maybe $120 minimum would still be too high with copays?) But the day care we get is only $5000 which would be half a year. Though I don't know if it's better to do that or just to write off the whole sum. Probably do the pre tax up to $5000 then to do the rest as a tax deduction.

Other random question then sleep.

I have split peas. I want to make split pea soup. I can't find a ham bone at any of the groceries I go to. What should I do?

Do you have a butcher or a Honeybaked Ham store anywhere near you, Kat?

Yep. There's a honeybaked ham not so far away. Will it cost a fortune?
