Locke has gastrointeritis (stomach bug) and we had to take him to the emergency room last night because he wouldn't keep anything down, including water. We got home at 4AM. His prescription is so strong that it says on the paper that it is not to be given to anyone under 2 yrs of age, yet this is what they gave him at the hospital and as his ' ( Read more... )

Well, CJ is officially on the road now. They're stopping in Tuscon tomorrow morning, and they're staying there through Tuesday. Then they leave for San Angelo (due to arrive on Wednesday, as it's only 12 hours to that point). CJ has permission to attend his sister's wedding, so he should arrive in Dayton sometime Friday night ( Read more... )

Everytime I walk in the house, my brother and his friends clear out like I brought the bubonic plague in with me. It's usually just me and the kids here, or sometimes CJ's mom and sister--but they get bored of helping me and eventually go home. I might need a higher dosage of meds if I intend to make it through the next three months without ( Read more... )

Moogle Cafe frequenters: Could someone post a link to the Cafe so I don't have to look it up to get to it from every computer I use out here? Much appreciated.

CJ: I don't know which email address you tied to Outlook Express--so let me know. I have a site to send you a link to regarding travel plans. Oh, and I love you and miss you so much.

Seeing as how my father-in-law is in town, and he's a proud republican, I sat with him and watched Glenn Beck with him today. It took all of ten minutes ( Read more... )

In reference to the Neon Genesis Evangelion live action movie (as announced at the Anime Boston 2006 expo):

"ADV also made several confirmations during the panel. The biggest and most exciting of them all was that the Live Action Evangelion Movie is confirmed and is going through pre-production." -Krazy Gamers

So something's going on here. About fifteen minutes ago, I opened the front door to let some air in, and CJ and I heard what sounded like a gunshot nearby. CJ said he saw someone on a motorcycle speed off, but otherwise no activity. Well, to be precautious, we called the cops and reported the gunshot, and they sent out a patrol car. The creeped ( Read more... )

Since you're such a fan of botany, here's a funny passage for you. Taken from Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett:

In fact, the only things in the flat Crowley (a demon of Hell in human form) devoted any personal attention to were the houseplants. They were huge and green and glorious, with shiny, healthy, lustrous leaves ( Read more... )
