Ple! Have you seen the most recent xkcd?
The alt text made me laugh myself sick.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Heh. On my mom's side of the family, I think at one point my mom and dad were literally making...10% or less of what my mom's sister and my uncle were making. Just a guess, but I could only be off in by how much MORE my aunt and uncle might've been making. Sure, the costs of living were very different, but...clearly there were some extreme lifestyle differences too.
There were some odd family tensions, needless to say. Especially when it then came to dealing with my grandmother.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Baby's asleep. He's reached the age where he realises there's fun to be had while awake, and protests mightily when we put him to bed. Thankfully, though, he settles quickly.
Anyway, since he's snoozing, I've been rummaging around news stories. Here are a couple worth noting: Scientists find 'world's oldest willy' [link] (It's an Australian team led by, and I kid you not, Dr John Long.)
Also, a (to me) heartwarming article about summer camps for children of atheists. [link]

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I was a sophomore in high school when Challenger exploded. Remember watching the news in the school library.

Skipping (actually, I caught some virus and am coughing and fun stuff like that, so it's more like crawling, but the result is the same) to not-whine, but rather post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is juliana's birthday.
Happy birthday, juliana! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday to juliana!
Sending good health ~ma in your direction, Nilly.
My son said last night that he would go walking with me this morning if I got him up. Coffee has been consumed and I am off to drag him out the door with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, juliana!
I am excited that I don't have to be at work until 9, and not at all tomorrow! It's been a long week.

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