For the absent-minded professor types, noticing that the garbage can needs a new bag is hard.
I was going to object to the stereotyping. But, well.
t glances into kitchen
Yeah.
However! I was just talking to my mother, and we were planning something for vacation that will require my sister and me driving somewhere, and she was worried because she didn't think that either of us knew how to get where we were going, and we'd be in the car that doesn't have the GPS system. I said, "Getting directions is easy enough." She said, "How?" I said, "Find out the address, go to google maps, type it in, ..." and she said, "Oh! I'd forgotten that you can get directions without the GPS!"
So I feel slightly better now.
Noticing that the animals are starving to death while the rest of the family is away isn't hard.
I just had to convince my PhD mother that I had sent her a message via Skype and that she could reply to it. The only reason she worked it out was because I wouldn't leave her alone until she did. Splice genes, she can. Find text input box, NSM.
A very happy birthday to JZ!!!!!
Okay, I've searched Bitches, Natter and Tech. I know there have been recs on favored iphone apps and I need 'em. Can someone kindly point me to where people've been listing 'em?
Thanks!
Either! Just want the stuff you peeps have found you can't live without. I've got the NYT, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MLB and ESPN.
adding an 8 year old to the ebay pile. gah.
the playdate that was planned for today over a week ago, well it got moved to Sunday (messing up my plans) and today there was no karate, so it was improvise day. Last night I decided to contact one of his friend's father and see if we could do something impromtu and last minute - otherwise mac would do tv and cartoons/games on the computer all day (or fight with me if I limit it). so after I slept in, we contacted the friend's dad again and met them at the playground. The boys kept trading the grumpies and hurt feelings back and forth. good god it was exhausting, now we are home (good thing too b/c it has started raining) and he has pitched a fit that I wanted to watch something on tv, and then that after that when I relinquished it back to him, that I dared to be so "bossy" as to tell him that I was no allowing him to just watch videos for the next 2-3 hours. He already watched 4 hours of tv today - that is more than half of some kids' whole week allotment.
