When I clip my nails I need to know where the shards go. So I do it where they either don't need to be picked up (which is nowhere in my current home) or in the bathroom where I can collect and dispose of them easily.
I used to file my nails in public, but then I hostelled with a woman who really hated the smell of filed nails. So now I'm a lot less likely to bust out the emery board next to someone. But I don't consider it something that inherently needs privacy.
I had a boss one time that had his jeans dry cleaned. I'm assuming he hung his. I have a ton of clothes that just stay folded, and the four pairs of jeans are among those.
Why does my computer want to restart in 25 minutes? Why does it want to make me sad?
Remember a few weeks back when we were talking about Harold Ford and is he really as bad as all that?
“We as a nation need to be disciplined. If there were ever a day in which an electric cord ought to be used on all of us to remind us of what’s good, what’s bad, what’s right and what’s wrong, it’s on the King holiday.”

mac refused school this morning, or more correctly refused to go to school without his DS (not allowed). He snuck it yesterday. So I waited him out, emailed in to work, and read a book until he caved. I think the meds helped both of us stay much more calm. I am really ready for the DS to break.
I am really ready for the DS to break.
"Oops...."? Eh?
Maybe not. I was always fond of just kicking toys under the couch that annoy me. They're re-found every six months or so. Probably not a workaround for you, though.
He caved and went in to school? How long did it take him to change his mind?
How frustrating. I'm glad you could stay calmer.
I need new shoes. I have three pairs of shoes I can wear with skirts that are perfectly comfortable, and they're all falling apart/scraped past the skin. Oy.
a total of 2 hours. He watched a show on the computer (while I was sitting in front of the door) and then we were doing a puzzle together (once he was calm and I knew he wouldn't run). I was ready to take the full day from work.
God, we can't even trust wildlife photographers anymore....
Wildlife photographer cheats with tame wolf
This photo won the London Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award for 2009.
Then, several Spanish photographers recognized that wolf, and revealed the ostensibly chance image to be a setup.
Wildlife photographer of the year stripped of his award
So now, no one gets the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award for 2009....
Ugh, msbelle. Sounds like a relatively successful defusing/resolution, though?
oh sure, and I got 150 pages in a book read and a few more pieces of the puzzle together. I'll eat lunch at my desk today and will only be 30 minutes down on my work time for the week. I can make that up tomorrow.
Today I will talk with the head of his afterschool program and hopefully put an end to them allowing the use of electronic games there. If they won't stop it, then we may be looking for a new afterschool.
I hope I haven't sabotaged my birthday weekend with what I just arranged.
Note went around asking for volunteers for weird shifts the week of my birthday. I already have the Friday and the weekend off. There was the option of doing an overnight on the Wednesday night, and that gives me Thursday off as well. I don't bounce back on sleep weirdness as well as I used to, so I'm hoping being able to sleep in on both Thursday and Friday, as well as the nap on Wednesday will be sufficient to avoid wretchedness for the rest of the weekend.
