How strong is your grip? For caliber, I recommend .380 or 9mm. .45s have a hell of a kick, and my hands are too small for me to be comfortable holding something the size of a .45.

How strong is your grip?

Probably average or weak. And I have small hands, to boot.

.380 is what Scully shoots. Not that that informed my decision on what pistol to buy, no, not at all, it had nothing to do with me getting the very same pistol she used.

edit: any reputable range should make sure you're comfortable with a weapon before they let you use it. I have been to ranges where they say "No, don't go for the girly gun!" We don't go back to those places.

I need to go to Legoland! I'd take the boys, but I suspect they are too big to be allowed to do anything. Maybe we could borrow some little ones.

It's definitely a little boring for older folks. It's set up in a lovely way -- lines of major attractions have a place where little folks can play with legos while adults wait. It's perfect for the twins in terms of size but not so great for older people, though there are definitely a handful of bigger rides.

I live in the state and didn't see it till I was out of high school. But I hope you do, because maybe on the same trip we could hang.

Happy birthday to N & G, Kat! And yay Legoland!

Your kids are totally in the Legoland zone. I don't think my kids have outgrown it yet, but one does age out at some point, unless you are the kind of person that can geek out over the amazing set pieces. Pretty sure the nephew falls into that category. Isaac too.

Oh, lice update: Isaac had only 2 on his head when I combed him tonight, so yay! Franny on the other hand had 14. I am sadface. She is sadderface.

We have been louse-free on nightly combing since Monday! Well, you've got to get your fun where you can.

ION I am up with a head vold, miuth-breathing. Ugh.

Also, typing on the ipad. Head vold sounds like some kind of alien brain worm.

Yay for the louse count, flea, but sorry to hear you're in the grips of a head vold.
