Happy Birthdays, Kristin & Maria!
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Can I request some ~ma for my cousin's new baby? She gave birth to him via C-section 6 weeks early because they were worried about his heart beat. Baby A is home with a heart monitor now. Everything seems ok so far, but I'm sure he and his family could use a little of the powerful buffista ~ma.

Happy Birthday Kristin and Maria!!
Things-go-well~ma for your friend's baby, sj. And that they rest of the day goes well for you, too.
I set my alarm so I'd get 8 hours of sleep, which is usually more than enough. I slept through the alarm and didn't wake up until an hour later. Guess I really needed the sleep.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Emily, are you still around? I have a teaching math question for you.

Actually, Fay or Hil or one of our parents may be able to answer this question, so I'll just go ahead and ask it.
When do kids learn (or have an understanding of) negative numbers?

I think it was third or fourth grade for me. For a while I was adamant that negative numbers didn't exist.

That's about what I figured.
Last night in after care, my very precocious first-grader was switching all of her homework problems so the answers could be in negative numbers, and I thought that was really pretty advanced for her.
I let her do it, because I figured it would make her teacher laugh.

Happy Birthday, PixKristin and MFNLAW!
I came in to find the subcontractors had removed all my edits and text changes from the new webpages--the ones that took pretty much all day yesterday to make. To fix the CSS problems. The CSS is in a separate file and the html file doesn't need to change to make it apply (or it shouldn't, if you do it right).
I can beat them with pointy sticks for this, right?

That sounds about right. I should remember when CJ was studying negatives, but I'm a-blank.
He does test this weekend to see if he can take Algebra next year. Seventh grade. For Algebra. I'm still agog.
