Introduce them to the Beatles deniers

I can't tell if that's parody or real. Like so many places on the Internet.

I suppose you could say the earth isn't moving if you are in the proper frame of reference, but I doubt that's the point they are trying to make.

I'm sorry, Consuela.

So I just reached out to my alma mater's head of IT. Because I was her nanny back before she was that, and she's good people. I want to hook Taylor up with her if she goes there. Cause then she'll have a local surrogate mom.

I'm waiting for the Ken Lay is on and Island With Stacked Blondes site.

I mean, c'mon... even if you don't think that one was a conspiracy would ANYONE on EARTH be surprised if they found out it was?

Oh my god.

I think I have more, but I'm in a state of wonder. Not the good Ann Patchett kind, but the completely bemused sort.

My cough has diminished, but not enough to let me sleep through the night. As a result, I keep doing stupid things -- today's stupidity? I left my wallet on my desk at work. So I picked Noah up, drove back to get my stupid wallet and then back home. Sigh.

Grace has initiated eating actual food for the past two days. She signs eat and then opens here mouth to indicated she wants to eat by mouth not by tube. Granted, in each instance, she eats exactly one cheese puff, which is the only non-pureed food she can manage. It's a start right?

Kat, that's so cool that Grace is eating by mouth! Does it feel like a big step?

We are all sick in this house. Well, M is recovering, but I am feeling pretty lousy, and Rose has had a cough/runny nose for... god, like six weeks? It waxes and wanes, but she hasn't had an entirely cough-free day in about that long. M took her to the doctor today just to rule out anything more serious, but, nope: just a cold. Poor kiddo.

Go Grace Go!

Kate, it does feel like an accomplishment, but also like we have so far to go. I mean, she does all sorts of other cool things, like read signs or the words on juice cartons. This also feels like an accomplishment given how people thought she'd be in a vegetative state.

So, the reason we went to get my wallet was so we could go to the grocery store. Sometimes, doing anything seems so hard.

A local television station set up cameras in four viewers' houses to see what their dogs would do in case of an intruder. Some of the dog owners were sure their dogs would fight off intruders. The dogs were a German Shepherd, a Lab, a pit bull and a small ball of fur like a Yorkie mix. The fake burglar was dressed in a Kevlar suit to protect him against the dogs. The suit was not necessary. Only the Lab and the tiny dog even barked. The pit bull proved how dangerous pit bulls are by sitting, waving and rolling over, apparently hoping that this new game involved treats.

I'm pretty sure TNG wouldn't bark at an intruder unless they brought their own dog.

And the golden retriever I grew up with would happily have shown any burglar where the silver was.

That said, apparently most burglars are very cautious about dogs, and will tend to avoid a house with a loose dog in it.
