But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now we just have to figure out how each of us can spend 80 hours a week on our jobs and 80 more caring for out infant boys. So far the remaining 8 hours a week for sleep does not seem to be enough.

There's a simple solution to this problem - just slow the Earth's rotation.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, YOU DO NOT CHECK IN HERE OFTEN ENOUGH. Just saying.

Calli, I met my DH flying.

PC, I'm sorry your parents and your brother are at odds, but I find a lot of my sympathy is going to the she-devil. I hope he prepared her for this.

If my mother opened a closet to snoop I would throw her out of my house. And she'd agree with me.

The two phenomena are not unrelated.

(And mega-congratulations, Rick!, if that wasn't clear!)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What's that saying? If you go looking for things where you oughtn't, you're sure to find something you wish you hadn't.

Couples have met in crazier places than pottery class.

My uncle meet his 5th wife at a pottery class! But not his current potential one. The current girlfriend he met in square dancing class.

Congratulations, Rick!!!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

After about a year we found out that she was pregnant with identical twin boys, which is pretty cute because we both do research with twins and we met at a twin research conference ten years ago.

That's adorable!

screw earplugs, go on holiday. visit some friends or relatives who don't live near construction for a week.

Oh, I do wish I could. But leaving the house for more than a day is a mammoth task. We were talking about going to Torquay (the seaside!) but we'd have to find an accessible hotel, and the local train station is only accessible if you're going in one direction (gotta love that logic), and I'd have to cope without PCAs while we were away. And that's just the beginning. < /disability whine that is in no way interesting >

Fab. My mum met her partner at a weekly dance evening thing near where she lives. I think it helped that she's a good dancer.
