I understand that with the passports, at least, you can "accidentally" step on them a couple of times and then the RFID mysteriously stops working, and the authorities have to handle them like any old passport... which there are so many of....

I have a 6 mo. check up today that I'd like to be as uneventful as possible. So, some, no lumps or bumps thoughts please.

Sorry to skip yet again, but according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Laura and her DH's anniversary, so lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year together, for the both of them!
Also, and she may kill me for posting this, but I'm willing to risk that because she deserves all the "Yay"s she can get, Shir has just told me that she's on her university's dean's honor list for her grades this semester. Yay Shir!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, msbelle.
Happy anniversary, Laura and DH! And CONGRATS Shir!!
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, of course there's a big parade here in NYC. Our City Council Speaker, while being the first Irish American Speaker, is also the first openly gay speaker, so she doesn't march in the parade, because they don't let gay groups march. So what is doing today? Going to the White House with the Irish Ambassador. Nice.

Am I the only one who is so over St. Patrick's Day? Is there another "national holiday" that is basically about ethnic stereotyping? Maybe it's living in college towns, but wearing a green shirt and getting shitfaced is not my idea of celebrating anyone's ancestry.

Is there another "national holiday" that is basically about ethnic stereotyping?
Yes. Cinco de Mayo. And certain aspects of Thanksgiving if you're native american.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Am I the only one who is so over St. Patrick's Day?
Nah. Outside of, say, NYC and Boston, it's pretty much just a get-shitfaced holiday.
