Whoo hoo we fixed the toilet. The best part -- DH on the ground and the cat climbing up his side to see what ws going on . When the cat couldn't see -he decide DH was a great place for a nap. priceless.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

msbelle, if you are talking research as in articles in medical or psychiatry journals (i.e. about meds and kids) please email me - I have access to a lot of scholarly databases with that stuff.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
There was a Spanish runner a couple years ago who ended up banned from competing in women's races because of androgen insensitivity syndrome. 'Technically' she was an XY, physically she was female (missing a uterus), and had been young enough that her 'delayed' menarche had been attributed to lean body mass and training regimen. What a horrible way to find out something like that about yourself!
The irony of the androgen insensitivity is that you're immune to most performance-enhancing steroids, so she couldn't even 'cheat' if she wanted to.

msbelle, I'm happy to help if I can.
Other librarians/university types: Anyone have access to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography?
Some poor, clueless woman posted on the local listserv for a nanny 30 hours/week offering to pay between $100-200. While some people have gently pointed out that this isn't minimum wage, other people are being downright mean. I can't imagine what she's getting off-list. Considering how difficult and stressful finding care is, I really feel sorry for her. (signed, added our names to 12 daycare wait lists in January and still waiting)

Insent, I know nothing about Portuguese intellectual property law and would like to keep it that way, and the funny thing about your listserv story is full-time daycare down here (even for infants) actually costs about $125-165 a week. Now, that's not an in-home nanny - it's group care, with 4-6 kids per caregiver - but I for one was STUNNED by how cheap it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Good morning. I got 10 hours of sleep last night, it's Friday, I have no after-hours maintenance scheduled for today, and I'm wearing my new shoes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
SOMEbody's having a good day!
I am off work, got not quite enough sleep, just had an informational interview, and have a call with a recruiter coming up. Not bad overall.
