Wifey's friend Linda had a couple of patients recently (a woman and a child) named Baby Girl. Linda, being the polite person that she is, asked if those were nicknames. The woman said no those are our names. She's Baby Girl Jr. and I'm Sr. Linda looked at their charts and sure enough that's what their names were officially listed as. o_0
I'm just glad this was Linda and not Wifey. Wifey would have laughed in that lady's face not to be rude but just as a natural reaction to the sheer fabulous-ness of the situation.

That's kind of.... sad. Yikes. They might get a pass if English wasn't their first language, but I'm kind of thinking that's not the case here...

Hey there, Melly. Did you have a good day?
- Friar Will
Very restful. Balancing that out by having a productive evening.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Good for you. I am heading out to visit my daughter at the church camp she is working at this summer. She and I and my ex and a former foster kid are going to see Harry Potter this afternoon as well.

good tea is difficult to find anymore. nearly impossible to make when i'm half-asleep in the AM, too.
- Joe Silence
yeah...I'm just about finished with a 200 gram box of Lipton Darjeeling a co-worker brought back from India for me. It's very good. I found it on amazon for about $17. 200g is a lot of tea.

"These blondies are by far one of the best things to come out of my teeny tiny little kitchen (by the way I’m moving! But to a little house that still doesn’t have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal). They’re perfectly chewy and rich, and absolutely stuffed with delicious toffee bits and walnuts."

I almost thought YOU were moving, D. Then I saw the blessed quotation marks. 'Cause that's some stress you DON'T need, right? :D

Okay, I am a moron. Here is the reason why. I was on the way out to get some half and half at the store when I realized I had left my wallet in the house. Then I realized that I had also locked myself out of the house. You see, the church I serve had recently installed new screen doors in my home.
I had been locking the screen doors so I could keep the main doors open at night for any breezes that might blow through. I had also been using the only door in the house without a locking screen to enter and exit. But today I locked that door also.
- Friar Will
So, when I tried to re-enter my house to get my wallet, I discovered I could not get in. Finally, I found a window that I could open. It is 18 inches high by 28 inches wide. It was no easy feat for this 6 foot, 2 inch, 245 pound man to squeeze through that opening, especially since it was half blocked by an immovable daybed on the inside.
- Friar Will
But squeeze and contort I did (while trying not to be seen by people driving through the neighborhood, lest they call the cops suspecting a break-in), and I made it through. I retrieved my wallet, drove to the store, got my half and half, and came back home, where . . .
- Friar Will
I discovered that I had not unlocked the one door I could enter. Yes, I had to climb through the window once again, and yes, I am a moron.
- Friar Will
I almost ended up rolling on the floor myself, but I was not laughing. I can assure you of that. :^)
- Friar Will
In case you were wondering the door I exited can be opened from the inside without unlocking it, which is, of course, what I did.
- Friar Will
Oh my! Sorry I had to LOL. Out of curiosity, locking screen doors are somewhat an oxymoron? If someone wanted to come in ........ oh never mind.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Yeah, I know, Janet . . . just one more level of the moronic. :^)

Gentlemen, does anyone want to get together on July 4th for a friendly game (or two depending on the heat) of disc golf? This is a Monday and most folks are off. We should try and get a big group together and toss some discs!
How many people are we looking at? How many are noobs?
- john
The Van Baales and I are the noobs, though we already know John can throw, and I'm guessing Natalie will be the same.
- Jenthemum
Okay, that's not too bad. Jen you have played before so u already know how to play. I guess when I say noobs I mean first timers.
- john
Athletic is a good thing. Sometimes it is hard to play with noobs that are so used to sitting in front of their tv with an x box360 controller in their hand (or reading the huffington post all day) because they seem like they don't even want to be outside. It sounds like you got some good noobs this time!
- john
What does everyone think a good starting time would be? I say 9 am.
- john
John, I sold you a RC Pro Boss that one of Jeremy's friends can use (it is only DX plastic) if you want to let him use it. Playing Tom Bass was like being in a marathon.
- Charles Tu
Jeremy said they are going to go get him a Champion Boss at Spring Valley before we go.
- john
Anyone hear from Josh Haley? Is he going to be able to attend?
- john
Negative. Thanks for the invite though. Please to be having fun!

Awesome outing, I think everybody had a good time. Can't wait til the next one.

I know I had a great time! And I think the Van Baales did too :-)

Then answer: What is it called when you throw toilet paper at a house? What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball? What is the bubbly, carbonated drink called? What do you call gym shoes? What do you say to address a group of people? What do you call the oval shaped spider with long legs? What do you call your grandparents? What do you call the wheeled contraption that...

The website also recommends changing the default font to Comic Sans on the computer that the kid uses.
- Rochelle
I approve of these flashcards and the web site.
- Akiva
Akiva, I just realized a problem. She only knows capital letters so far and these flashcards are all in lowercase. I just showed her "bug" and she said the letters were P, U, and 9.
- Rochelle
Time to teach her lowercase letters, then! She insisted on going through the alphabet this morning before she had her breakfast.
- Akiva
There's data that says things printed in Comic Sans are easier to remember ;)

Akiva, she just got really angry with Toby because she wanted him to repeat the alphabet letters after she said them and, obviously, he can't do that.
- Rochelle
Jeremy, probably, but that would take a lot more effort than simply pressing the "print" button on this PDF.
- Rochelle
Akiva is a decent geek, so I am sure he can handle this... It's a Python library/helper script for making prototyping of playing cards a lot easier. Instead of designing your own old maid game, make some flash cards with it, with photos and words. http://www.donationcoder.com/forum...

"My fiancé is a huge Star Wars fan, so naturally the first off-registry gift we received was a set of Star Wars themed spatulas from Williams-Sonoma. I was initially skeptical of spatulas in the shape of Darth Vader and his stormtrooper minion, but to my surprise, these are actually excellent kitchen tools."

You know what's awesome? It's when you put on your old jeans that you haven't worn for a couple of months and find money in the pocket. \o/ AWESOME \o/
Getting the pool table together this past weekend. This is a ~1896 (so 115 years old) August Jungblut of San Francisco pool table. Last night I fixed the ball drop mechanism for the ball return. It's all ready for the slates to be installed tomorrow morning.
Apparently someone at http://makezine.com/ is doing a write up on this little project of ours... neat. Heard Al on the phone last night with her Yia Yia tracking down some of the history.
