lost :(
?
- Anne Bouey
My G1. I'm pretty sure it's gone for good... I'm imagining it somewhere, stuffed in a bag filled with trash, all alone, with a dead battery. So sad. Am I crazy for being so upset about this?
- Jeanette Bosman
Not crazy at all, Jeanette. I hate losing stuff myself. I thought I've lost Camilla's ipod a couple of times and it feels terrible. And I can't even imagine losing my iPhone (which has a lot of important information). I'd be totally clueless.

I just dropped dinner on the floor, and all over my feet. It was hot, and squishy.

Do you have to stand still while Tudor eats it?

Wait, why is Tudor liking this? Did he have something to do with your dropping dinner on the floor? Did he not like what you prepared and is now breathing a sigh of relief that he doesn't have to eat it anymore? Inquiring minds want to know. :)
- April Buchheit
Hah, no, he was eating dinner at work tonight. So this was just lonely dinner-for-one. I like to think that his "like" was sort of a virtual sympathy hug. But I will give him a punch, just to be on the safe side.

You go, girl! :)

Mermaid problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

"The Mermaid problem is an observation occasionally mentioned in literature, concerning the difficulty of having sexual intercourse with a mermaid."

from Bookmarklet
A French idiom, finir en queue de poisson (to end with the tail of a fish), makes reference to this difficulty; it refers to a promising start that ends in disappointment.
- Private Sanjeev
Interestingly this was not always an issue. In the past it was not uncommon for a mermaid (actually a medieval siren or melusine) to be portrayed as having a split tail, with a vagina located (or merely implied to be) between the two parts. H. P. Lovecraft's short story "Dagon"[4] and the logo of the American coffee chain Starbucks are examples of this. In the original version of the...

We actually planned our honeymoon around this concert! Yes, I am that much of a fan.

Tell Tudor that means he has to take you on another honeymoon of a length of your choosing.

We leave for the real honeymoon on Friday, so I guess I can't complain too much. I was so looking forward to seeing them in concert, though.

Set your Tivo/DVR for this Saturday 3:30-5:00pm on "FUSE" network (comcast 476) for "Depeche Mode 101" a D.A. Pennebaker documentary of the bands 1988 world tour...I caught some of it earlier today and it had some pretty good moments.

We've eaten at so many yummy restaurants since we arrived, so I don't know how much more we can cram in before we leave - but I'm willing to bear what I can for the sake of stimulating the economy.

I'm not sure Jim's family would be an improvement over the dentist; after all, his dad is in the business of putting people to sleep!

It's like that feeling you're supposed to get when you try on THE dress for your wedding, only I didn't get that feeling until just now. I got chills and teared up; I feel like such a dweeb.

A Google search seems to indicate that you can damage your eyes (causing temporary blindness and pain) from exposure to the sun, although it's not "sunburn" per se.

In celebration of Tudor's birthday, interesting fact #4: Tudor's favorite color is bright orange. If it were up to him, our entire house would be decorated in orange, we would own an orange car, all of his t-shirts would be orange (the color now dominates around 15% of his entire t-shirt wardrobe) and he would wear an orange tuxedo to our wedding.

In celebration of Tudor's birthday, interesting fact #3: While driving, Tudor often unconsciously holds his left arm in what I like to call the "rabbit position."

It looks exactly like it sounds. Elbow resting on the arm rest, forearm vertical, wrist relaxed with hand flopping freely. It's terribly silly and cute.

In celebration of Tudor's birthday, interesting fact #2: As a baby, Tudor once caught his mother off guard while she was changing his diaper. His mom leaned in to blow a zerbit on his belly, and little Tudor grabbed her hair so she couldn't pull away and proceeded to pee all over her face.

I would generalize this to *all* animal-themed outfits, tiger suits excepted.

Let me be clear: it's totally fine to dress *as* a cow, but to wear them on an outfit is just silly.

I am still waiting to see your pictures with the chicken suit.

There were a few blue jeans in attendance as well. It *was* a pretty casual wedding, but the cow shirt? What a random choice! I'm sure she has other shirts, her entire wardrobe couldn't be farm animal themed... Or could it be? *shudders*

Just had an amazing tasting with the very first caterer we've met with. Is it wrong to set up tastings with more caterers, even though we're pretty sure we're going to go with the first guy?

Well, we gave them a small deposit to hold the date, but it is refundable if we decide not to go with them.
- Jeanette Bosman
So I guess that means we're sort of "going together" but we have an open relationship?
- Jeanette Bosman
A deposit that you can get back just by asking for it? Yeah, that's totally an open relationship.
- Daniel Dulitz
Bindu: actually, a lot of caterers want to set up in-person consultations before giving you any free food, presumably (partly) to weed out freeloaders.
