Okay, talk among yourselves.

I have a meeting to attend, and then have to take off early to go take Oldest to the orthodontist, and then as I mentioned, try not to miss the Jack Bauer Show tonight while doing the Scout thing with Jonathan. Details on the morrow, but in my absense, feel free to entertain yourselves. Politely. No eye gouging, no rabbit punches, no hitting below the belt. Oh, okay--eye gouging is okay, but not a lot.

See you all tomorrow.

Just a short comment on orthodontists :
I simply cannot stand the urge to say something because I myself recently has this annoying contraption *installed* in my mouth: braces. Ugh. I hope your oldest has more patience than me, coz this is killing me. Plus, I needed a 'quadhelix' to widen my upper jaw and it TRULY makes eating a problem, not an enjoyment...
Can't wait until my two-year sentence is done.

You didn't say we were allowed to call names, so I've been good and haven't called LittleA "Ant Breath." I didn't even call SkinnyDan "Yankee Boy." See I've been really good. :)

Hey there, Arlin--glad to have you drop by, even if the comment was prompted by intense mouth pain. Luckily, her braces haven't been that bad for her, aside from the usual teen anxiety about appearance, and, given that anxiety, the very odd behavior of not keeping them better cleaned. She gets a talking-to every time she goes about taking better care of them.

As for yours, it sounds like a much worse hassle, but I'm sure you'll do fine. Two years is a long time, but after you get used to them, it won't seem like so long.

And Jordana gets a gold star for being so nice.

Who you callin' Yankee, you... you...

What the heck do you call someone from Alaska? Or California? Or...

Never mind.

Careful, Dan--it's hard to pick on pregnant girls without suffering dire consequences.

I'm not only pregnant, but I'm from too many places to pick just one out for ridicule. Not that my husband doesn't call me a Yankee though.

Hence my confusion.

I also figure I can say what I want - Pregnant Lady Memory being what it is, you won't remember what I said anyway. As long as Terry doesn't remind you, of course.

Why, I would NEVER do such a thing! It goes against the Code of Guys!
