But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh lisa, that is cool. I am going to see how much my daily commute really is. If I beef up my walking pace I might make baby steps on this "in shape" thing without adding anything new to my schedule.

Gud - That really does sound like a rough schedule. I hope the kids help out more and more with their stuff. Reminds me that I need to start laying the ground work this summer for mac to make his own lunches/snacks starting next year, and his laundry duties start next year too - good times.

It's kids, man! They eat up all the time.

But they are a lot of fun too. Certainly they make life more interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But they are a lot of fun too. Certainly they make life more interesting.

And a good thing, too -- otherwise, they'd all get kicked out!

Yeah, we should get the kids to do more. Maybe once they are out of school we can get it going. My daughter will sometimes do laundry or sweep the kitchen floor without even being asked. My son, on the other hand, needs lots of supervision.

Sorry, Gud.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, wow, that enlighted designs, inc. is run by someone I know from college. I heard she was starting a business integrating clothing and leds a few years ago, that's great that she's found some success!

Sorry, Gud.

Not all that accounted for time is all bad time. In particular, playing games with the kids or reading to them is pretty good stuff. I have a pretty sweet job too even if there are periods that are less fun. It would be nice to have a 25 hour day though.

Hell, I'd love to spend a weekend with both your kids. They're awesome.

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

Let's slow the Earth's rotation!

Everybody, start moving stuff towards the equator.

Actually, humans have slowed the Earth's rotation in measurable ways, by damming rivers, causing water to accumulate in lakes relatively near the equator (like how an ice skater who's spinning in circles will spin slower if she extends her arms).

Or a job you could bike or walk to, I bet. Being able to walk to my job is my dream. That, if things go the way they seem to be going, will not happen any time soon (on the plus side, this means continued employment for me so yay).
