There was a 24 hour home improvement store in Houston that did demos 'round the clock. The employee used a hair dryer to speed up the paint drying process. It seemed funny at 2am but maybe that's just me. Do you get to do the paint demos? There was a 24 hour home improvement store in Houston that did demos ’round the clock.

My prof had to go to Poland for a family emergency the day before the test. I did get an A for the class, so I don't really care about the final that much. There will be a real post as soon as I get caught up enough on recent happenings to post about. Should be within a week I hope. I have no idea how I did on the final.

Upon further investigation, it seems the spork has been around much longer, sometimes called a "runcible spoon"(mentioned by Edward Lear in his 1871 poem "The Owl and the Pussycat"). The name Spork was trademarked registered by the Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., of Clinton, Massuchests in 1969. You are not alone in your love of the spork: there is quite a cult following of spork enthusiasts out there.... Found this little tidbit of spork history:

I would venture to say further that children under age 10 all belong in Saran-wrapped environments covered with soft surfaces and shouldn't leave the house unless it's to a playground or Chuck E. Cheese. I too have noticed mothers breastfeeding their brats in public and it's gross. Heck, if I'm hot in the Italian sun and decide to go topless to cool off on the beach, that's indecent exposure. If my male companion forgets to zip his fly after a visit to the WC, it's also indecent exposure. But a mother thinks she should be allowed to whip out a private area for all to see, all for the sake of child well-being. That's fine, but do it at home, not a freaking bar. But mothers already do stuff like change their brats pampers in public, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised. After watching military families for 5 years, I agree with the "License to Procreate" idea. Andi, I agree with your 100% on all levels.

Also i was talking to sarah about your event with the mosquitoes and we concure you might have had a mild case of mosquitoe bit anemia. Kittens and even adult cats can get flea bite anemia from exessive flea bites and infestations so i think that might have been what happened with the mosquitoes. Later.............
