I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

I dunno, I think it depends on the field. Mine is incestuous so it is not weird to bring it up (especially at the scientist level; the two body issue is kinda big in this field, and it's not unheard of to try to find available positions for spouses, esp. when hiring a really competitive candidate.) I didn't mention my father, but since I sent my resume in through his former grad students, and my potential corporate boss was in grad school with him and easily put 2 and 2 together (hello, I got a job in high school working at the observatory next to my dad's one summer!) shrug. Hard to miss.

I have versions of this sketcher [link] in black, brown and mesh. I don't so much wear them for work (I like wearing heels at work) but they are suitable (except most of my pants are long for heels, so...)

Those are the ones I have, sarameg!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Me too! Skecher buddies!

Mine are getting kinda beat up. I've had them for years and wore the hell out of them.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just had to correct a meeting date three times on an email I sent out. *facepalm* I really suck at committee work.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Also, I just saw that ad with the guy doing the "news" off Facebook and Twitter:

I keep hearing the one with "This just in - 40 year old bachelor has just enrolled in karate" and keep thinking "Where? Where?"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

flea- I know the neck thing you are talking about, although it read more "thick" than "swollen" to me. My lanky BFF from high school now has a neck just like his dad!

DH's neck has expanded with age. He's not especially flabby around the neck but it's just gotten bigger. It's hard for him to find good dress shirts.

Maybe it is sorta like the softball head unneutered male cats get? ducks

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep hearing the one with "This just in - 40 year old bachelor has just enrolled in karate" and keep thinking "Where? Where?"

Heh.
