I almost had to go in the men's room at church on Sunday because Frisco wandered in there and Joe was ahead with Ellie. Thankfully, he came out voluntarily.
Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am glad I missed the doggie links because I have been thinking hard about it. I think getting a dog (completely impractical) maybe my midlife crisis.
ETA: And of course, I want to get a Newfoundland. The hairiest, drooliest, biggest dog around.
I need to vent for a second. I'm reading various articles and posts about the Nashville flooding, and I keep encountering variations on "WE didn't whine about being victims, WE just helped each other." Am I totally addled to read this as a taking a shot at poor black Katrina victims? Because that's how I'm reading it and it is making me angry. (Please note: I do not mean to minimize the damage done or life lost in Tennessee and Kentucky, nor do I mean to imply that all Tenneseans are racist.)
I just walked into the men's room on my floor at work. Am mortified. Luckily the only person I saw was a man washing his hands and I was out in like 2 seconds. He's not in my dept thankfully. Horribly embarrassed.
The locker rooms at my gym don't have actual doors. I've walked into the guy's area more than once. Same door, different floors. Ugh.
Thanksfully, never saw any gentlemen parts, or got caught.

Do you have experience with the breed, Sue?
A couple of weeks ago, I walked into the mens' locker room at the YMCA with the kids. I didn't realize it until Owen said, "Why are we going into the boys' locker room?"
Ooops.
Aww, Newfies! I love big black dogs (Rotties, Newfies, black labs).

Nope. I'm seeing the same things, and just a disturbing tendency in general to compare the flooding to Katrina, and it's pinging me the same way. I don't always think it's a conscious desire to belittle the victims of Katrina -- and I haven't seen anyone actually asserting that our flooding was anywhere near as bad as Katrina -- but it is, at the very least, really distasteful. There's a natural tendency to play up the drama inherent in one's own situation, but (as one commenter put it so well) "nobody wins in the Disaster Olympics."
Oh, no, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has an otter cam!!
Cockpit style workstation is way cooler than any cubicle
Is it just me, or does this look like it was designed to fight Daleks?
