'Shells'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I saw two meteors from my suburban porch last night! One was very long and bright.
I love sitting on my porch in the dark late at night. It fascinates me who all is out and about. Two bicyclists with extensive lights and sound systems went by, along with the usual clump of teenagers walking down the middle of the street and talking on their phones. Pedestrians will occasionally notice me, and they give me suspicious looks. I'm just sitting on my porch, dude, what are you up to at this hour?
Sheryl, is there any reason why, after ID-ing someone you'd hire as a nanny, they couldn't do the paperwork for a CPS check and have it sent to you? [link]
So many ups and downs when selecting childcare!
But who would play shrift? Stephanie Beatriz?
Works for me.
I want that Buff Dive re-enacted by Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher.
Yes, please. And I'm down for smonster's additional casting.
This stupid report is eating my brain. Argh.
So Caper is in the driveway pounding the pottery she made at camp into dust with a giant hammer. She refused my offer of safety glasses.
Almost-teenagerdom is so fun.
Sparky,
Actually, my husband sent those forms to the nanny agency we filled out an application for. Waiting to hear back from them.
That seems like a pretty normal thing to expect of a nanny agency.
I'm editing an article about the effects on the mortality rate after a Dept. of Defense mandate that severe casualties in combat need to be transported to a medical facility in 60 minutes or less. It's pretty interesting, but the "60 minutes or less" part keeps making me mentally add "...or it's FREE!" every single time I read it (and it's in the paper a LOT).
Not 60 minutes or fewer?
I am ready to just go to bed, but that is probably not the best way to handle my Thursday. I should go for a walk while the weather isn't terrible. I really should mow the lawn, but I don't think I can talk myself into that.
Things I say to my dog way more often than makes sense:
"That's a good point"
"We talked about this."
"You make a strong argument"
