Re: WTF Cranston RI (c'mon, this in no way follows Swamp SOP

I clicked. I even read the comments (even though I know better) and I was amused.

I know some people in small municipality elected positions and I can see many of them doing exactly this.

Re: The Lottery Thread

I'm in a pool at work because I believe it is foolish to say no to breath mints and lottery pools.

I work for a medium sized suburban police department. The pool includes about 3/4 of the staff. This city is so screwed if we win...

Usually the umbilical cord is clamped and cut before the placenta is delivered, so folks don't normally see the umbilical cord whole.

The standard suggestion for tying off the cord is a shoelace. Surely they had a shoelace.

Re: Random Politics

Those household income rankings also don't take into account family size. A childless single adult is going to be able to do a great deal more with his $150k than a family with 4 children and a dependent parent.

My thanks to Stephen King. Did the book reference the Pope dying, or just the year? If it mentioned the Pope, I forgot it. Just the year in the title. I'm terrible with years, so otherwise I'd have gotten this one wrong even though I knew which pope and president it was. howard 8-2 Moreta 8-2 rex 7-3

Re: Making the bed

I lay the bedspread/quilt/comforter over the bed neatly every day. The sheets underneath do not get smoothed, tucked, or otherwise neatened except when I'm putting on clean ones (usually weekly). I do not require the children to make their beds except when company is coming.
