Yeah, you take easily rolling over for granted.

If you aren’t getting up to pee at least three times you might still have a ways to go.


Actually didn't get up last night. Should have, but 5:30 I figured I'd make it another hour and I did. 1-2x is the norm though.

From the archives:

This is a segment Harry Reasoner broadcast back in 1972 about his hometown of Humboldt. We were living there at the time, and my mother is featured somewhat prominently in one of the segments. She is the blonde with the flip hairdo beginning at the 13:09 mark - the camera will pan off her, and then back onto her again.

She was singing in Humboldt's Community Chorus then. Several of my high school classmates are also in the program.


My mom was the home ec teacher in Humbolt mid-late 60’s.
 
Current level of pregnant:

DH got some fontina cheese to put on homemade pizza next week. Not sure I've ever had it. So I opened it and broke off some chunks to eat. It looks like it got attacked by an animal. When DH inevitably asks "did a bear get into the cheese?!?!" I shall reply, no, silly, it was a mouse.
 
My random thoughts for the day:

RT#1: This may be a good Friday OT for @Angie but is there a song that you really like but one specific part of it (lyrics or musically) ruins it? The reason I ask is I happened across a new song that I instantly loved today but the ending is just terrible. It doesn't fit with the rest of the song and it's just plain weird. Judge for yourself:


RT#2: One of my absolute biggest pet peeves is listening to people chew with their mouth open, on food or otherwise. It just makes my skin crawl like nails on a chalkboard or styrofoam rubbing together. My office mate and his friend that is in our office all the time have a habit of chewing on things CONSTANTLY and it drives me absolutely insane. No office supply is safe. Sometimes it's a pen cap or a rubber band. Today one was gnawing on a paperclip (my teeth hurt just listening to it) and the other was chewing on an earphone that he had chewed through (!) earlier in the day. I wanted to throw both of them out the window but I did the mature thing and went to the bathroom, and the water cooler, and the sink to wash out my cup, etc. until one of them left. Maybe one of these days I'll work up the courage to say something about it.

RT#3: My favorite pair of sunglasses broke this morning so I had to replace them. Cost me a whole $12. The last pair was $10 but I decided to treat myself. I figure if I budget $10/year for sunglasses then in 30 years maybe I can get a nice pair of Oakley's.

It must be Monday.

Chewing on a paperclip? That is some WTF there.

Reminds me of scam Facebook accounts that small town Iowa friends are constantly sharing on their Facebook timelines. "90% off on Oakley Sunglasses!" :rolleyes:

I just let it go without commenting, they are beyond help. :oops:

It never ceases to amaze me how many people think those kinds of posts are real. I saw one the other day that said they were giving away 4 trucks but it was just the same truck obviously photoshopped with 4 different colors. Anyone with half a brain could see it was fake but I've seen it reposted by easily a quarter of my friends.
