Yes, but I also know anniversary year gifts, And most of the other birthstones. And a lot of time zones. I think from reading the "useful" pages in my mom's pocket calendar when I ran out of things to read.
Ahahaha yes! Only in my case, it was the weird reference material (almanacs, books of lists, record books, etc etc) that were the only thing to read when I was stuck at Grandma's for weeks at a time.
Also, I am pretty sure in the 70's fakeish birthstone jewelry was in as a gift for young girls.
Also this.
sj, from way back, I don't often give up shows for those kinds of storylines, but I think I did with Nip/Tuck.
Do like Keith Olbermann(Calli, I know. I know things about the human form I can't erase now...that and twenty million random baseball factoids.) and write them a long letter telling them where they went wrong...KO actually befriends people people that way...Ken Burns, Aaron Sorkin, Entertainment Weekly...I actually got to read that one. EW listed Dan& Keith's SC as an Earthshattering moment in television or something and he kind of berated them for not choosing "harvest of Shame" instead. At some length.
He was probably right, but most people say "Thanks."
That's fucking creepy, that's what that is.
Maybe it happens a lot and nobody notices. Mom's got fixed right away because that original wrong date would have been after the paperwork was filed, so they amended it to what Grandma said it should say.
My great-grandma(The NA one) had an error on her birth certificate, which my mom discovered trying to get her tribal card.
the lady in Oklahoma said Great Grandma Gentry would have to sign off to have it corrected.
my mom probably didn't help her case offering to dig her up.
I was reading something this morning about someone who was born during a blackout so they didn't know which actual day. (Christmas v. the day after, and they went with Xmas. Craxy.)
On another matter -
There is such a thing as over-explaining. In a resume I was reviewing earlier:
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global IT company.
ORLY?
McDonald's sells hamburgers.
brenda, I sent you email earlier. To the Gmail address.
Speaking of which, are they rolling out the new Gmail slowly? I don't have it, unless they mean the "new" one I adopted over a year ago or more.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global IT company.
The things you learn! @@
I've not heard of a new Gmail. I remember when it started trying to sort out my important e-mails for me, but that was a while ago.
Kate, I haven't checked my mail in a few days. Let me get on that. Thank you so much, again.
I had something to post about the current conversation, but in the middle of it, I discovered that my friend has MRSA and I have completely freaked out. I had no idea. She's getting a picc line in today so they can do the antibiotics at home. She gets dilaudid before they pack the wound (which she describes as more painful than childbirth), and it's making her nauseated. What was the anti-nausea drug that's successful for you, ita?
Anyway.
Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy.
Yes! This is the important information I was looking for elsewhere! I hereby approve of this boy.
I think I've shared this before, but if I'd been born a boy my parents were seriously considering Frodo
I am totally calling smonster "Frodo" henceforth.
When my sister was pregnant with her second kid, they thought it was going to be a girl and she was going to share my middle name (my grandmother's name.) I had a dream that it was a boy and I was disappointed he didn't get named after me, which I told my sister. And then it was a boy, and he didn't get named after me, and I felt like an ass.
