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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
Happy Birthday Juliana!
Birthday Happies Juliana!!
I was in class at St. Mary's School when the Challenger exploded.
Also I did the weird peripheral vision test where you click every time you see a dot, which makes me all paranoid. Well, more paranoid than the baseline state of Liese.
I agree with the paranoia. My false click rate must be high because I just get into a rhythm and keep clicking. I hate the air puff but don't mind the blue light probe and I loathe things touching my eyes normally.
