6:24 am
doseffing
... yes, I remember ... I was supposed to exercise more but I reached an okay point and then stopped ... I'm just fat now

6:26 am
rubyfoo
I've regained enough, 44 kg now, but have no strength
6:29 am
doseffing

6:30 am

My orthopedist suggested just using little cans of food
6:30 am
rubyfoo
for the moment, though, if I just do the bike for a while, that will be great
6:30 am

6:31 am
rubyfoo

6:35 am
doseffing
... on a more serious vein ... when is the next French election? ... my wife wants to do London next year and if she's gets that then I want to sneak across the channel and do Vimy Ridge and sneak to by mother's family's home territory southeast of Paris ... but I don't want to do it during an election ...

he said, at one point, that if we didnt use "Obito" for the baby, we could use it for the second dog (which he still seems to think im going to let him have).
i had to pint out that there should be NO NAME he would consider for his child that would also work for the DOG.

EvaNadine
most names have meanings behind them.
and the meanings arent why hubby likes them -- he likes them because of the anime shows he watches.
id rather choose names that have meaning to US.
9:02 am
MollyL
Hold your ground Eva. I'm not sure your son will be happy to find out he was named after a cartoon.
: O
9:02 am
MLFAN17
exactly Molly
9:03 am
EvaNadine
i was named after a character in a musical. heh
9:04 am
MLFAN17
were you really eva?
9:05 am
EvaNadine
at the core of things, i think he just really wants a name that isnt super-common (his name is Chris, + there were ALWAYS other Chris-es around)
im totally on board with the less-common name.
now we just have to find a less-common middle name we can agree on. :)
9:06 am
EvaNadine
i was!
my dad LOVES musicals.
my first name is Samantha -- after Samantha Lord in High Society (the musical version of the Philadelphia Story)
9:07 am
MLFAN17
I have a cousin whose name is Chani . she was named after a female and male relative on both sides of her families names were shortened and put together to create her name
9:07 am
MLFAN17
Are you a fan of musicals eva?
9:09 am
EvaNadine
i grew up as a dancer -- i love musicals + theater. :)
9:11 am
MollyL
Well Eva, that is better than being named for the car you were conceived in.
: D
9:12 am
MLFAN17
Eva that is so cool:)
9:12 am
EvaNadine
i know a gal i went to HS with has a daughter named Camry -- ive never asked where the name came from!
:X
9:12 am
MLFAN17
I love musicals and theater as well
9:12 am
MollyL
Kids can't win with names. If they are the type that want to stand out in a crowd, they get named Mary, or Joe. If they are the type that wants to blend in with the crowd, they get Apple or Dweezil.
9:13 am
MLFAN17
lol Molly
9:13 am
MLFAN17
Molly have you ever seen Soleil Moon Frye's children's names?
9:14 am

9:34 am
rururocks
my guess eva is she was procreated in a Camry :D
9:35 am
rururocks
if her sister is named Corolla you know for sure
9:36 am
MollyL
I'm actually kind of impressed. Camry's are little cars. You have to be pretty agile to get busy in one.
9:38 am
EvaNadine
i mean...i cant really think of a different reason for choosing that name...
but what do i know?!
9:38 am
crosshair
In that case, i was most fortunate to not have been named "Parisienne." lol
9:39 am
rururocks
was her brother's name TRunk?
9:46 am
rururocks
come to think of it.. I never asked my parents where I was concieved
9:47 am

I could have been the Straight C, the Dynamic or the Custom Cruiser. Vrooom!
9:48 am

ruru, have you ever thought of a situation in which ou COULD?
9:49 am
rururocks
good question...although I shudder at the thought of my parents having sex
9:51 am
jwr
don't we all? But I know the night the sperm hit the egg was planned -- probably down to the hour. My dad was still a G.P., but on his way to specializing in obstetrics.
9:52 am
Judi
Therefore, you were preconceived.
9:52 am
rururocks
my guess is that my conception was due to more than a few manhattans
9:52 am

well, PB is fine. I'm ready for breakfast.
9:53 am
jwr
ah, Ru - I was born in Manhattan. Do you suppose we;re related?

9:57 am
rururocks
he walked to school twenty miles in his bare feet to school... etc
9:58 am
Judi
Hey! I think I saw him in "The Grapes of Wrath".
9:58 am
rururocks
well.. you got the Wrath part right
9:58 am
jwr
I knew that. Only Texans are born professionals. (I don't do smiley faces or lols, sorry. sometimes it doesn't come across.
9:58 am

They are not related, MLF.

I am a thorough nite person. When I first started nursing, I was caught out by Mr. Ratchett Head Nurse and Disciplinarian that if I ever used the word "graveyard" again I would be on that shift permanently. So, said Br'er R.N. Oh, please sir, please don't throw me in the gravepatch!!

Okay, what do you call a guy who is really, really cute, but as dumb as a box of rocks?...........A himbo.
10:29 am

heh, folks in our office arent good at listening to your requests.

Was just strolling along working the grid with ease, the words almost jumping out at me. I smiled, entering one word after another--until I go down to 89--then the wall arose. it is made of thick granite blocks, hand chiseled, all hoary with the moss, vines and dust of broken grid dreams coating it, and damp with the tears of dispirited babblers.
