You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The switch made dates skip forward, not backward. In the UK it was September 2nd, and the next day was September 14th. And then Faction Paradox purchased those missing days from George III and gave him a woolly mammoth, of course.

Way after the fact, but major kudos for the Doctor Who reference. Faction Paradox is quite awesome.

Sarah Palin is a Russian Jew? She can see her family from her house!

This is just the funniest thing I've heard all week.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

the shoes you wear on the plane and the shoes for the wedding should be the only shoes you take.

Yeah, ita, I only two two pairs on my 10 day trip to Europe last month! (Granted, I wished I had a pair of flip flops or something, but that's beside the point). I took three pairs on my 17 day trip around the world through winter (New Zealand) and summer (Egypt and Vietnam) (warm shoes, sandals, and flip flops).

I'm all about minimalist packing--I was reading an article/slideshow in the NYTimes about a flight attendant and packing for a 10 day trip in a carryon...and when I saw how much she packed I was SHOCKED--why would she need so much clothes?!?

I heard a guy on NPR today say the best thing about Sarah Palin. He said, she doesn't have a political strategy, she has a media strategy, and her media strategy is to say things and choose words that will make liberals upset. That is the only thought put behind what she says.

The media has no ability to deal with trolls.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

What's the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pit Bull? Eventually the Pit Bull stops whining. I think from Bill Maher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet New York is fine, snow-wise, if that's what you're concerned about.

I bowled tonight for the first time in like 20 years. It was fun! Candlepin, obviously.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

In the continuing story of irritation from today, Grace's pulmonologist essentially told me that I have increase Grace's calories by using Duocal (which I won't do). She's already getting food that is 1.2 calories per mL which is wicked high. UGH. DO NOT WANT. Want doctor who listens please. (Though the woman is actually a wonderful doc in general, but she's a pulmonologist, not a GI or nutritionist. She needs to BACK OFF on this topic.)

Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide if it's gross to wear the same pair of jeans every day of the three-day weekend. Which I also wore today.

why does the pulmonologist care about calorie intake? How does that affect her lungs? lungs, right?

That's the slideshow I meant--"three pairs of shorts, three pairs of dress pants, one skirt, three pairs of casual pants or jeans, three nightgowns, three bathing suits, one sarong, three lightweight sweaters, four dresses, 10 casual shirts, six dress shirts, a clutch, toiletries and two pairs of shoes." SERIOUSLY? For a ten day trip you need a shirt each day AND six dress shirts AND 4 dresses?
