I, for one, welcome our Buffista sprog overlords.
Ginger, I'm glad to hear that about the robo-voices, cause I thought it was a crip thing.
One problem is that if I'm driven to calling a customer "service" line, my question is more complicated than "What is my balance?" and no matter how simply I try to phrase it, I never seem to pick the words the robot knows. I've just about given up ever telling robots numbers, because I worked in a semi-military environment so long that I really enunciate numbers. Apparently the very thing that ensures that people understand numbers baffles robots. Usually robots give up and pass you to a human, but the AT&T one kept making me repeat things.
Maybe my rhythm is not robot-approved.
But hearing you say so does make me feel better about it.
I need bubblewrap.
CJ forgot his keys and knocked on the door when he got home from school. In trying to rush to the door so my mom wouldn't have to get up, I tripped over my work computer cords and crashed to my hands and knees. Needless to say mom beat me to the door. I now have ice on my knee.
I give up.

Oh babe. You might need a helmet, too.
I'm just saying!
wraps Suzi in bubble wrap
(this was a case where the student turned in a law review article word for word)
I think this is where I bring out my mother's class where two student plagiarized
from the handout.
University, not Pre-K.
Someone talk me out of flying to LA in two weeks for the weekend. Just found a price for $117, nonstop, roundtrip.
Why talk you out of it when we can offer you a guest room to stay in instead.
Cabana boy for Suzi! And what the hell, I'll take one too.
Em is so cute! Totally headed towards world domination.
I'm going up to see my nephew on Friday! It's a quick trip but I'll get to see him and kiss him and play with him. He's really big now, in fact in the pictures (when you can't tell his age) he looks like he's about to sit up and walk. He's a looong muscular baby. He'll be 7 mths in a couple weeks.
He's having trouble sitting up, he prefers to slouch. But that hasn't stopped him from doing anything, he doesn't crawl he log rolls. And if something is at his feet, he can grasp it with his feet and pull it towards his hands.
The other news with my brother's family is that they were going to start a side business making camera straps -- colorful cooler ones than you can really get. So my brother took a sewing class and made my SIL a laptop bag. Then he made them Blackberry cases, and when Mom was up there she dropped her camera and cracked part of the screen, so he made her a camera case. And now he's working on a skirt for SIL. He's become quite crafty and he has the patience for sewing.
Mom has a quilt she was going to make for Evander but hasn't so she's thinking of giving it to my brother to make.
