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.
My mom bought noah a harmonica. WHY? And why did she get one for herself and why are they both playing them before 6:00 AM?
I apologize for the volume of my laughter at this post.
It is 61F! I am sitting here with a blanket over me. This thrills me beyond reason. It has been a long hot summer. Just Friday it was 91. I don't know how long it will last, but yard work is on my list. And riding my bike to work instead of driving. And sitting outside to watch the sunset. Whee!
It is 45F and doloriously raining here.
It's fifty here, and sunny and gorgeous. I'm wearing sweats and looking forward to watching football later.
Today's high is 47. Tomorrow it will be 70, so I'm looking forward to riding my bike to work.
We've had the coldest October in something like 150 years - it's the second coldest ever (since records have been taken).
My mom once bought Jake a wooden train whistle. I didn't speak to her for a week.
It's not quite 50 here, sunny and crisp and very fall-like. LOVE.
My mother has bought harmonicas, train whistles, and all manner of noise-making toys. Some grandparents are no better than they have to be.
Did her mom give you a drum set when you were three? That's the only rational I can imagine.
Ummm.... no. not that I remember. Keep in mind she got him this: [link] for Christmas.
I was feeling guilty that he is (1) sleeping in the room she is in and (2) up at 5:00 AM. I guess I'm over feeling bad about that.
Welcome to the repressed midwesterners noise grudge match.
Why is it that I can name, from memory, every single monarch of England in order but can't name all the US Presidents in order?
I can tell you which English kings were deposed, murdered and what royal house they belonged to and if there was a civil war going on during their reign but I can't name very many Vice-Presidents.
If it makes you feel better, I can't do any of that.

Has someone been playing on sporcle.com?
I've done the presidents and countries and am now teaching myself national flags. I haven't even attempted British or French kings.

Neither can I. There are lots of things like that (well, OK, not the English monarchs to that extent, but...) that I feel like I should know and/or remember but don't. Pretty sure I never had to learn all the Presidents in order, so I never did. I think, "Oh, I should just learn [insert knowledge gap here]." And then I don't do it. Because I'm lay-zee. I think I can still do most of the state capitals, though, so I comfort myself with that. And I know my way around the world map. More or less.
