Dawn ,'Beneath You'
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.
Also those wristband things can help (or just pressing down on the same pressure point.)
Tommy, if you can get someone to press three fingers on the inside of each your wrists for a minute or so (pressing really hard into the corded veins you can feel there), that should help.
Note, pressing yourself on one wrist can also get rid of hiccups.
When I was pregnant I found that Gripe Water (usually found in the baby section) works surprisingly well.
Like, not plain cotton or khaki?
Definitely not khaki--those are called out. In my head, dress slacks are lined, but this is southern California, and they can't possibly want women who are not me to only wear lined pants all year long.
Also, go Oranje!
I've never thought about it too closely, but I would think that dress slacks/slacks for women/trousers all would be roughly synonymous. And opposed to more casual leg wear like jeans/chinos/khakis/cargo pants.
I think Gripe Water has fennel in it which is supposed to be good for nausea.
That meeting I had with the Director of our United Way last Friday must have went well. When I took the kids to the bakery for donuts and coffee today, I ran into her and she complimented me on my report. That felt really good. I hadn't done that much in-depth research in nearly 20 years so the feedback was most welcome.
At 4 p.m., the NWS reported a high of 105 degrees at BWI-Marshall, making this the hottest day here in 27 years. It is the second-highest July temperature ever recorded for Baltimore, after a 107-degree high on July 10, 1936. It matches highs reached only three other times, on Aug. 6 and 7, 1918, and Aug. 20, 1983.
Uhg.
For ginger ale, the fancy gourmet brands are better - most of the commercial stuff has no actual ginger. (Boylan's or GuS are both good if you can find them.)
Oops - had already gone to store....
Ended up getting Schweppes. Is ginger included in the "natural ingredients"?
Also, what is Greek yogurt? I had to buy some yogurt with active cultures for my kitty, so I ended up getting "plain Greek strained yogurt."
And opposed to more casual leg wear like jeans/chinos/khakis/cargo pants
And now that you mention it, it now appears that cargo pants are *not* allowed on Fridays. Good thing I didn't go out and buy a pair, because they would have mostly been for that.
Now I'm staring at everyone and checking them off against the rules. I wonder how many of them actually know we have a dress code now.
