I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Note to self:

When typing, "baseline" is not the same thing as "vaseline."

Crap. Just remembered something that has to be done before the 21st, and I don't have time to do it today. Oh well, not like anyone look at that webpage, I'll just have to beg forgiveness....

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

That would be an interesting typo Dana.

Which then leads me to wonder why each are pronounced so differently.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Disney Invites 'Goths' to the Party

Disney, the company that created "the happiest place on earth" and cornered the market on pink, is embracing a darker aesthetic as it reaches out to an unlikely audience for new merchandise: female "goths."

In the run-up to the March 5 opening of director Tim Burton's movie "Alice in Wonderland," Walt Disney Co.'s consumer-products division is aiming its marketing firepower at young women and teenage girls, particularly those who gravitate to darkly romantic entertainment like the "Twilight" series.

The soundtrack album features goth icon Robert Smith, lead singer of the Cure, performing a song from Disney's 1951 "Alice in Wonderland."

Gotta be a WSJ subscriber to read the rest....

Coding and Sleeping

The costs for the breaks (w/ replacing the rotors) and the oxygen sensor seem pretty normal to me. The rotors may need to be replaced, I don't know, it just sounds odd especially at 30,000 files.

Changing the transmission fluid at 30,000 is like changing the oil at 3,000 miles. It's this rule that no longer applies to most cars, but shops still follow it, probably because it's good for their business. I don't think they're trying to rip you off, they're just following the outdated rule.

Trust my rage

Jess, it's good to see you. You have been in my thoughts so much these last few days.

I was told bath was okay after a D&C. I not sure about a D&E.

Because books.

Jess, we've all been thinking so much about you.

I'm not sure what it would hurt to take a bath. I don't think I would shower if you're home alone, though.

Changing the transmission fluid at 30,000 is like changing the oil at 3,000 miles. It's this rule that no longer applies to most cars, but shops still follow it, probably because it's good for their business. I don't think they're trying to rip you off, they're just following the outdated rule.

The guy at the shop explained it to me by saying that he still does the 30K recommendation even though the manufacturers have doubled it because they haven't changed the type of fluid being used. There are a few European cars using more exotic fluid that he follows the recommendations on, but not cars with the same old fluid as before. He said that he feels that the manufacturers just increased the number to make their ratings better, and he has seen more transmissions come into the shop with problems when people stick with the new numbers.

Jessica, I'm glad to see you. You could sit on a plastic stool (what house with a 2 year old does not have multiple plastic stools!) in the shower.

Jessica, you've been in my thoughts. It's good to see your pixels.

My thought would be not to take the bath and give your cervix a chance to heal.
