Day 22 Boots I got for free at a consignment store that needed the heels fixed. Day 23 heels I "needed" for my 40th bday - I thought they looked like SJP's shoes in Sex and the City, and today's Day 24 brown strappy midheel sandals.
Lol. Yes, mommy has hypermesis and has been home for the past month with no end in sight. Other than the constant vomiting everyone is healthy.

I just saw your pregnancy whine post and I think all of downtown Sac heard me say, "Wait, she's pregnant?" (scroll back scroll back scroll back, find announcement) Wow! Congrats to you and Scott.

Much wisdom in this thread... SO WHAT IN THE HECK AM I DOING HERE?!!

It is the hidden wisdom that is now revealed by you. jkram, you're a very wise man :)

Dear, شیرسنگی دربدر ... With close-minded people no matter how many facts or ideas you put in front of them their minds will never change. They’re not open to changing old habits and to accept new ideas for positive change. “(Reminder - an educated person might not have a college degree or even have attended school!) Would be one who searches for excellence, one who does not take things...

How many babies have "we" had on FF? Let's see: The Toddler formerly known as babyx, MellyBaby, The Louis Gray Project(?), & Jandy's New Release spring immediately to mind. I know I likely missed some since my tenure here. And there were likely others before I got here. Feel free to chime in below.
Thanks #joe. It was MC and Scott's announcement that prompted the post. Twins, Jason? Belated congrats. And (if you don't mind me saying), good lord you must be sleepy.

ROFL "Interestingly, and coincidentally, approaching the Donald Trump Caterpillar (scientific name: Megalopyge opercularis) can be very dangerous, particularly if you come in contact with the business end of its yellow mane. “If you touch that thing, it would seriously hurt,” Torres, a field biologist, told the UK Daily Mail. “It has these little hairs that can poke into your skin and release a venom.” Just like the real Donald Trump. How uncanny!"

No, I mean this morning the number on the clock when she woke up was one more than last week. The sun comes up later, so she wakes up later. Awesome!
- Brian Johns
Eh? I get her up at 7 for school. Same last week as this week. So the clock says the same time. But her body thinks she's getting up an hour earlier. It's true it was darker because the sun is coming up later (relative to our adjusted clock), but I don't understand what you were saying at the beginning.

I just like "Summer time" better than "winter time". I'd prefer it dark in the morning and light in the evening, even in winter. :)
- Steve and 4 other people
But there's a surfeit of light in the summer, and a shortage in winter. Even when we fall back, the "extra" evening light quickly disappears in just 1-2 weeks. So it's a pointless exercise of screaming against the tide. Are heart attacks and traffic fatalities worth that? Definitely not. It's long past time to stop this ridiculous and archaic fiddling with clocks.

Longest day of the year: Jun 21. Sunrise 5:48 AM, Sunset 8:35 PM (14h 46m 52s). If we didn't "spring forward" sunrise would be at 4:48AM. That would be bad. Compare with the shortest day of the year: Dec 21 Sunrise: 7:22 AM, Sunset 4:55 PM. If we didn't "fall back" this would be one hour later than the stated times, which would be fine with me, although sunrise at 8:22am might be brutal for kids going to highschool (starts at ~8am). Personally, that would be OK with me and better than the status quo.

Friend of a friend (or maybe female relative) on Facebook spelled it 'pursé'. Once I figured what she was trying to say, it took all my might not to block her on principle.

You don't need to know any romance languages to know how to properly spell and use "per se", per se.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Meg, it's related. "Se" in Latin has a broad set of uses, including the reflexive, but also as an object of verbs and prepositions.
- John (bird whisperer)
Romance languages? That's cool. I know one, the counselor just calls it anglicized "love language".
- Die Leberwurst
Uli - I hope you're not serious. The "Romance" in "Romance Languages" comes from the fact that they're based on Roman Latin, not that they're at all related to love.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
A memory: Sui, sibi, se, se - from Latin. 9th grade, I think. Just about 40 years ago.

Of course I wasn't serious. Durrr. I just have never heard the term romance in that context. ETA: I would've called it "romanic".
- Die Leberwurst
But those men of Rome are masters in the art of love, no? "Hey pretty lady, you have boyfriend? You like one? Come back pretty lady! Come back!"

I have this weird memory of an old priest who was my Latin teacher in high school, pantomiming some Latin text by beating his breast and partially translating it as "they were beating their seses!"

Which in turn reminds me of Sarah, then about ten years old, picking her first username for AIM. She asked us if some name alluding to slapping the monkey would be a good choice, and Dick and I could hardly contain our laughter. I remember telling her not to pick anything connected to choking the chicken, either, and she misunderstood. "That would be a great one!" She said, or something close to it. Fortunately, she wound up with greencow7375, which lasted until college.

Reminds me of my first username on Yahoo Chat: SpankingtheMonkeythatsChokingMyChicken (I didn't stay with that one for long. People took it totally the wrong way.) #AnimalHusbandryisNOTdirty

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?...
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

while thinking about copyright battles in Canada, I figured out that, by definition, the supreme court isn't wrong. That's how the system works. When the supreme court makes a decision, they have explained how the rules are supposed to work. And if you don't like that, all you can do is try to change the rules.

That little cat's sleeping positions crack me up. And, Noah is sooooo good with your kids it makes me smile every time I see a picture of him with them.

There's an error in the headline. It should be "18 dogs who mistakenly believed that beds were theirs, until educated by cats in the truth." Since all empty boxes and bed-like things automatically belong to cats...
- Walt Crawford
Rule #1: Everything in the house belongs to the cats, including you and the dogs. Nobody, not even the dogs, is allowed to use anything without prior approval by a cat.
- April Russo
Rule #2: Prior approval may be rescinded at any time without warning.
- Walt Crawford
I started doing it with my cat Darcy. There's a collection of his whiskers in his box of ashes. Same with Stormy's! I haven't found any of Noah's dropped whiskers yet though. Am I weird?
