Oh shit, so do I. I didn't even realize!
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aww, pupper!
My mom's cousin died a few months ago, and another cousin just emailed me to ask if I knew her Hebrew name. None of her kids knew it, and my mom said that was the kind of information that I'd probably have in my genealogy files. (I did have it.) It makes me kind of sad that none of her kids knew her Hebrew name -- like, it feels like a tradition dying out, or something. (They needed her Hebrew name for her gravestone.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's good that that you had it, though.
True story, presented as a clickbait headline: Today, I Punched the Maid of Honor at the Wedding We Attended.
Less clickbait-y explanation: I was about to take a selfie with Tim, and the maid of honor ran up RIGHT behind us to photobomb, but I didn't hear her at all, and I wanted Tim to be smooshed closer to me, so I went to throw my arm around Tim's shoulder...and whacked the maid of honor right in the face, because I didn't know she was there.
Lesson: photobomb at your own risk, folks. (As it turned out, I didn't hit her very hard, and she just laughed as soon as it happened, so no hard feelings. But dang. Plus, I think it's HILARIOUS that I hit the maid of honor at a wedding without being drunk and in a fistfight.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's been rather quiet on the board today.
We are in Ottawa now, after driving from Harrisburg. At least this hotel has a crib for Mr. S. (The hotel we were in last night didn't have one available, which made putting Mr. S to bed very interesting.)

Coding and Sleeping
Well, the chore board experiment is going okay. One of the four chores the kids picked is done, but my daughter was out most of the day so that's actually not bad. I knocked off nine chores and have seven left, but I will probably have to punt on four or so because my wife needs my help for work stuff tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You did 7 chores and 1 of your kids did 1? That is not very good distribution. I am sorry if this has been asked before but does your wife do chores? I remember you saying she drives the kids places.

Got home at 8 am. Didn't sleep much. Coming down with a cold.
Was hoping to go to the pool, but I need sleep more.

Redeyes are the worst.

He did 9! I haven't done 9 chores this month. Although I did just start cleaning out the spare bedroom in anticipation of some friends staying next weekend. I'm over it already.
Facebook etiquette question: a family friend (friend's parent/parents' friend) just puts birthday messages on her own wall. Do I tell her that's not the best way???

Jesse, I'm afraid that is too late to save Facebook from the uncouth rubes.

You're probably right. RIP, Facebook.
