Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Man, I just hate it when it's a problem with the humans and not with the computers.
Wow. We live in a parallel universe...or universes at 90 degrees. I lovewhen it is a people problem. Squishy stuff I can fix. But I feel completely helpless...okay, not completely...just a lot...incompetent when it is a computer problem.

Ginger, it's great to post with you!
I try to at least skim, but regularly have to give that up and be satisfied with only asking myself how much to skip. But nothing is as fun as posting.
You live in a more civilized country than ours
More childbirth-encouraging, at least.
We also have the largest number (and variety) of tests and doctors appointments per pregnancy, as far as I could tell, especially the ones that are not usually covered and don't have to take place when everything is reported as going on OK.
Tom, I'm sorry you have to deal with other people's messes.

I didn't take much time off for the birth of my first kid because I had just started a new job after my former company started to dissolve.
I saved up a bit of vacation so I could take some time off for the second kid.
My wife was working at that time and got unpaid leave.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just reported my findings to my boss, and someone else is going to be in big trouble as a result.

I'm in the middle of an issue that involves both software issues and political issues, which reminds me that I'm spending too much time posting right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whohoo, Sparky!

Oh I forgot, I wanted to post this link to the best car review I've ever seen. Especially starting at 3:40.
Incidentally, Ford will be selling the car in the U.S. with essentially no changes from the European version.
My favorite quotes from it. "The smoke grenades fit perfectly in the cup holders" and "The windscreen is heated but not bulletproof".

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