What if I'm never away for 24 hours?

Heh, seriously. Because outside of overseas vacations, that just doesn't happen very often.

Sure, if you're dirty.

Hello? Brother? Husband? Very different functionality. It doesn't take a dirty mind to realise that. There's a reason the term work spouse is sometimes seen as dodgy.

Is bromance also off, ita?

Damn, my bike tires were lower than I thought. Putting air in made a huge difference. And one guy at the bike shop had never seen a bike tire with an air valve like mine. Another guy said it was a "weird European" air valve.

And once again I'm all sweaty.

I call mac: my son, noodle, the child, my brother's nephew - almost never his name.

One of my aunt and uncles call each other Love, when I was little I thought it was the weirdest thing.

Should I ever have a partner, there's a solid chance I would call him Monkey half the time.

What counts as the first hit? This morning? What if I'm never away for 24 hours? Does it count down from the very first time I hit and then time out every 24 hours from then?

Really, DNS is not that complicated. It works something like this:

Lookup "www.buffistas.org"
         |
         |
         V
Is "www.buffistas.org" in       No
the local DNS server's cache? ---------+
         |                             |
         | Yes                         |
         |                             |
         V                             |
Has the cache age of            Yes    |
"www.buffistas.org" expired? ----------+
         |                             |
         | No                          |
         |                             |
         V                             V
Use the cached record of     Lookup "www.buffistas.org" from
"www.buffistas.org".         its authoritative name server, and
                             save it in the local cache.

I tend to refer to my DH either by his name or by "my husband." I also am the freak who started to call him Dad and "your dad" when talking to the kids. (PS that is an embarrassing admission.)

Sigh. I never got around to dismantling the tree. I know I'm going to regret that one.

OMG I am so in love with Tom's fancy pants post I want to marry it.

To do stuff like that, the <pre> tag is your friend. It uses a monospaced font so you can easily line things up.

To be honest, one of the reasons I wanted to get married was that after more than a decade together, and being in my 40s, calling Jason my "boyfriend" seemed wrong.

Srsly. When I have to fill out forms asking for emergency contact (and this is the first time in in life that I've put someone else other than my mom!), I put The Boy, and some of the forms ask for relationship, and I always stumble over than one. I feel like "boyfriend" looks like I just put down the name of the guy I've been on 3 dates with. "Signficant other" is just weird to me, so I tend to default to "partner." Which makes me feel like a business partner.

The Boy's dad has taken to identifying himself on the phone (to me) as "this is your father-in-law." Heh. Someday, Dad of Boy. Some day.

I think it's funny how many of my friends and their partners call each other "Baby" all the time.

I tend to call The Boy "Baby" whenever I'm joking/teasing, like, "Oh, Baby, I love it when you wear footie pajamas!" or whatever.

(Note: he does not have footie pajamas. Although it's so cold in this house that *I'm* considering them.)
