Actually, it is different. However, I agree that it's not cute, 'okay', or less gross when it gets on you. Even if it's your own kid.

I'm just in shock at how different my family is around my 2 week old niece. The word 'poopy' is this year's buzz word. And handing her off to spit-up seems to be the new practical joke.
- Jess

Ugh.....we dealt with spit-up for over 8 months...so gross.
- Nurse Katie
They're kind of all input/output at this point, no? She's my first infant, so may grow on me. I like the 18 month old. He's a blast!
- Jess

She probably will. And it's different when it's your own kid, for the most part. I was grossed out for the first few months when Audrey spat up on me but I have since seen her actually vomit (she's severely allergic to soy, we've found out), I can definitely tell you: there's a biiiiiiig difference. But, I try to keep in mind that just because I find my kid cute doesn't mean everyone does and it doesn't give me license to let her run rampant.

Great shots! Is this the current Hour or one from awhile back?

It's been said that the clothes make the man, but a woman needs makeup too... ;)

June 2008... when things went ka-boom... I had a play in the Fringe that year, and Jamie O'Meara liked these shots. Boom! Cover.

I regret that I don't live close enough to you to see those performances, Brent.
- Spidra Webster
@Spidra... thank you! i have been known to travel. where do you live?
- T. Brent, technopeasant
@nakachi thank you! that was a delicious time in my life... feeling more like a bowl of oatmeal these days lol
- T. Brent, technopeasant
I live in the SF Bay Area right now, but can't afford to anymore. As soon as the house sale goes through, I'll be moving to LA (shamefully enough...moving back in with my parents). The bright side is there are more FF meetups in LA...
- Spidra Webster
i've noticed! hope things work out for you... and i hope to get to LA at some point. :)

I'm sure you look like a doll; you should rent a car on the big island though; there is room to roam
- RAPatton

We rent a car on the second half of the vacation. But when we come to this island, we like to spend the first few days being pampered at the resort. Which does not happen when your husband is on the phone fighting with the airlines.
- Jess

I don't see how a lack of clothes interfere with that; it can be Jess and Eddie's second honeymoon ;)

I was there 18 months ago; take the boat to see the laval flows from the north and stop at that village on the north shore on the way to the black sand beach

They have assets to burn, but it will have to transform to survive.
- RAPatton
Whoever edits their '21st-Century Babies' is an uber conservative, racist, anti-homosexual freak that is incapable of transforming. They're the type of person who lights the torches for the angry mob, then takes pictures as the mob burns down houses.
- Jess
I meant the paper would have to transform to be viable. The Wall Street Journal and USA Today are the big two that are doing OK, but the New York Times future looks bleak
- RAPatton
Maybe. But we'll soon surrender our home, rabbit, and fully-stocked bar to Uncle Bob while we share Christmas out West. This is our only time to exchange goodies for ourselves ,-)
- Jess
from iPhone
Out west? From when to when and where? We go to LA on the 26th
- RAPatton

We have Christmas next weekend for my mom's side of the family. This weekend it's my single parents group.
- Nurse Katie
It's all people care about is greed and getting stuff

Actually, one of the reasons my family opens presents before Christmas is because on Christmas Day my mother-in-law bans presents. We spend a lot of time in church, making dinner and with eachother. This year we have a new baby in the mix (born last week!).
- Jess
from iPhone
That might be something he likes to do this time of year
- RAPatton

A lot of people volunteer to help the Salvation Army with collections.
- Anne Bouey
That's true. But since he has time to volunteer in the middle of the work day, that means he doesn't have another day job (he was laid off with me). Which sucks for all of us, because he is brilliant.
- Jess
I hate the full Flash sites where I want to see a listing of all their products and I have to go through all their frou frou. Just give me the option for an indexed page with thumbnails, please.
- Jess
from iPhone
I have to. I so afraid I'm going to flunk out after yesterday's mishap.
- Jess
I bet you did better than you thought you did

That's the general rule, so I hope it's true and not just something to prevent students from jumping off a bridge. However, this feeling of failure has stepped up my study game for the next two ,-)
- Jess
Today is payday, I just got handed *two* envelopes. Why? Because apparently we get yearly bonuses!!! This is the first time I have ever gotten a yearly bonus. And now I want to cry. Because I was worried about Christmas.
score! the last company i worked for that even PRETENDED to hand out xmas bonuses gave us paperweights in the shape of dollar signs. the base plate on mine fell off and i discovered it was hollow and full of scraps of metal that had been haphazardly welded into place with plumber's solder. this was pretty much the high point of my tenure with that company. :P
- Joe Silence is not Satan
my bonus comes end of next week. i've had 2 very realistic dreams that it has already happened. 11 grand in one dream. 5 grand in the other. i'm hoping that dream #1 comes more true than dream #2...
- Morgan Haley
Wow! I thought bonus days were early, 2000's. Good for you!
- Jess
Boys Don't Cry. Se7en (sometimes). Starwars 1,2,3 (from Alex).
- Jeremy (on vacation)
I'll say A Clockwork Orange. Good movie, but weird in the extreme. Blue Velvet is up there with it.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
Oh yeah. That trilogy was awful. I guess this can either way. There are some that were just awesomely bad and others that have been nightmare inducing in their oddness.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
I wouldn't scrub any either, though I could be persuaded to un-see some of the more gratuitously graphic horror movies of recent years.
- LogEx
Hollywood Homicide, Coyote Ugly, A.I., Requiem for a Dream (right when I finished typing this one Scott's comment popped up!), any Tyler Perry movie, The Hulk, Spiderman, Dreamcatcher, A Boy and his Dog, Taxi Driver. Just off the top of my head. Oh yeah, Trainspotting. Spanglish. Magnolia. Two Lane Asphalt (?).
- Admiral Anika
Eyes Wide Shut with Nicole Kidman and Tom. They should have left it as their homemade sex tape.
- Jess
Oh man. That sucks big time. I don't even know what to say. I'm sure the same thing happened to me, multiple times, so I guess all I can say is, memorize memorize memorize and watch your time. It will creep away from you.
- Cassandra
Also Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz. And if you're looking for fast stuff and don't already have it, their Fever to Tell is great, too.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Other 2009 tracks good for a workout: Fire by Kasabian, 1901 by Phoenix, Never Forget You by Noisettes, How You Like Me Now by The Heavy and Kiss with a Fist by Florence + The Machine

That is torture! Why do you do it to yourself? (actually, cooking the bird early is a great idea!)
- Jess
I had no choice. I had thawed the bird yesterday and everything I read said that I had to cook it NOW. I had planned on smoking it on Wednesday!
- Admiral Anika
This looks so good I kind of want to kill myself.

Then you won't get to eat it fool!! :D

Do you ever get the feeling times and temperatures in recipes are made up? Why 375 degrees? Why not 400, 378, or 295? Why 40 minutes? Why not 41 minutes, or 38 or 45? Has anyone ever tried all the different combinations to see what works best? But I dutifully put my bread in for 40 minutes at 374 degrees like a good little boy.
"The very things that make the holidays festive for people can make them fatal to pets, U.S. veterinarians warn. Dr. Ron DeHaven, chief executive officer of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says turkey, tinsel, greasy foods, mistletoe, Christmas trees, chocolates and baked goods are all things that can result in an emergency veterinary visit."

If they come in different colors, that would be an awesome way to see if the claws come out. ;) But yes, same gifts for both.

Custom mugs or t-shirts! "Number 1 girlfriend" and "Number 2 girlfriend" (is number 3 back in the picture?). And then, say "I'll leave you guys to decide who gets which one."
- Andrew C
These women out weigh and number me. I'm not gonna be the one to tick them off! I was thinking velvet yoga outfits in varying colors. My dad hates those ,-)

It's like the dad in "Must Love Dogs." hahaha
