Get well ~ma for your father, Calli.
I am awake too early. Again.

Thanks, Sparky. Sorry 'bout the sleeplessness.
Huh, the Mazda demon theory is not something I would have thought of. I wonder what evil origins lurk behind my Honda?
Happy Birthday, Anne!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Anne!

Hippo Birdies, Anne!
I'm wondering if my car is encased in a thin glaze of protective ice, and how long it will take me to chip it out....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Anne!
The Tenement Museum is fantastic, and I would highly recommend it. You get an hour tour about the lives of a family or two, inside their apartment in this tenement. The tour we did is their original, which has a Prussian Jewish family who moved in around when the building was built in 1862, and an Italian Catholic family who lived there in the 30s, just before the building was condemned.

The woman who just had octuplets already has six kids! Why would she want more kids??? I understand that fertility treatments don't necessarily produce multiples, but I guess I just don't understand wanting more kids when you have six. t /judgey

My DH and I were discussing what we'd name octuplets. His suggestions were things he thought were cool like Zoom, Kerpow, Whoosh, Shazam, Kaboom and I was thinking Target, Costco, Microsoft for corporate sponsorship.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I guess I just don't understand wanting more kids when you have six.
I can understand wanting one more kid. At a time.
But I can't comprehend any circumstances where anyone in their right mind would want eight newborn babies at once.

According to the woman's mother, the pregnancy was the result of IVF, too: [link] People wanting kids may or may not be crazy, but the doctor who did the IVF - the woman is under 35 and has 6 kids - why would you transfer more than 1 or 2 embryos? Doctors are supposed to have ethics and guidelines about this stuff.
