I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I just turned on the puppy cam and one of the puppies snorgled the webcam. Giant puppy nose for the win.

What's your default lunch?

Heh. Um.

Used to be, my default lunches were a turkey sandwich, chicken burrito, or pad see eiw.

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

Dylan is on the kitchen floor in front of me playing with a set of furniture casters (you know, those things you put under the couch to make it not scratch up the floor). He has been kept occupied by this for at least ten minutes. If I'd known it was this easy I'd have bought all his toys at Home Depot.

It's not for nothing that the Toy Hall of Fame has officially inducted The Box and The Stick as toys of significance.

I have known several toddlers whose favorite toy was Tupperware.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

One of the partners just came into my office to introduce a partner from DC who will be working here for a bit.

I had my ipod on and was watching the puppy cam.

oops.

“Not dead yet!”

Los miembros que recibieron servicio con X en 1987 y 2007 recibirán cheques de reembolso por margen este mes.

You want to change the last part to cheques de reembolso del margen en este mes.

Another word for refund is also devolución, but I think reembolso might be more correct.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I remember seeing that sort of thing, about cleaning the bowels, in several hygiene books from about 1900-1920.

That wasn't just one book: it was part of an entire series.

To support this kind of teaching this series of books on Hygiene has been prepared. A book is provided for each elementary school year from the Fourth to the Eighth inclusive ; in addition there is, for older girls, a hygiene dealing particularly with the care of little children and the health factors of home life, and, for the older elementary children and for vocational and industrial high schools, a Hygiene for the Worker.

I'm pretty sure my company has blocked the puppy cam. Probably not stupid.

I'm now puzzled by 1912 men's clothing. It seems like the cuffs and collar of a shirt were removable and washed more often than the shirt itself, and among the working class, wearing a collar was seen as "foppish." The author also warns against the dangers of celluloid collars.
