FroMan's Journal: Additions and Other Things

Well, bugger it all. You messed up my server. Well, actually, I think it has an issue with PHP5 (did I ever mention I hate PHP?) and the calendar application.

Been reading his stuff for a while on my fan list.

rk + Friend

Seen him posting around for a while. Recently friended me.

Shadow Wrought + Friend

I disagree with most of the political stuff he says, but hey, whatever.

StalinsNotDead + Friend

Been meaning to do this for a while. Odd doesn't begin to describe his (mis)adventures.

Talinom + Friend

I think this fellow has been a fan of mine for years.

Other things:

- New York, rock, windshield, definitely a way to keep you on your toes.
- Alarms for your very expensive septic system going off when you get back from a weeks vacation suck. False alarms do not suck nearly as much. Checking to find out it is a false alarm isn't all that fun.
- Hot water heater being broken sucks. Plumbers make too much.
- Divorce is stupid. There are too many stupid people in the world. Some might even be related to you.
- Just a couple more months and I get to take a week off, and that'll be like the last vacation ever. Incidentally my son should arrive in the same period of time.
- I love fall. It is about time cooler temps started showing up.
- My son will have the pick of the litter. As far as we can tell he will be the only boy in the world born this year. And we know a lot of folks who are having kids.
- My suburban can get just under 700 miles on a tank of gas, as long as it isn't the crap from New York or Mass-a-piss-hole-don't-have-fast-food-in-little-towns. Ethenol sucks donkey nuts.
- My lawn is finally grown in enough to get a dog... Next spring.
- Do not ever try this at home: Steal bacon from your wife that she is specifically holding on to because she believes in saving the best for last. Then eat the bacon. Then smile. Atleast don't try it without having bacon to spare, then you can both laugh about it.
- Vegans are not skinny cause they eat healthy. They are skinny cause there is not much food without meat, eggs, milk, gelatin, or somehow against their diet worth eating.
- My wife stabulates herself 4 times a day now because of gestational diabetes. When she first got the kit, I convincered her to stabulate like 7 times. It was interesting. I'm gonna try once she doesn't need to anymore.
- Cats are wonderful creatures. They make time fly. Mainly by standing on the minute and hour buttons in middle of the night. Related, we got to work early a couple times in the last week.
- Wives are one of the most wonderful gift from God. They do more for you than you can imagine, or sometimes even they imagine.
- After 3 months or so, the bonneville is running again. Without pouring white smoke out of the tailpipe even.
- Even in baby clothes, there are like 10000 choices for girls. And 2 for boys. Perhaps it is just a this year thing. (See above).
- Dressers should either touch the floor all the way around or be atleast 6 inches high. Incidentally, our cat agrees.
- Our pastor is a great guy. Sometimes forgetful. However, we did have a little extra time this week since we didn't have to print the bulletins.
- Socks are the bane of existance. Shoes are not that great either. I think there is a reason Jesus wore sandals all the time.

Photos From Vacation

Well, my wife and I returned to the place we spent our honeymoon. This time we brought with us another couple. It is absolutely worth it to return. This time we were able to see a couple things we did not have an oppertunity to see the first time, such as some whales. Sadly the puffins had migrated before we arrived, so those will have to wait another 5 years.

Boy's Clothes

I second the whole five bazillion girl outfits and two for boys. Trust me on this, you are not the only one. Congrats by the way. Birth is a crazy crazy thing. It's not as bad as what everyone tells you it's going to be. I assisted in the birth of my new son. It was a pretty amazing thing to be a part of. But man, once they are born their life really starts to get rough... Newborns are treated like convicts. Once they arrive they are washed down, violated with a thermomater up the rectum, attached to an ele

Well, some of the things seem pretty reasonable after a fashion. We will be talking to the staff though as my wife plans on breastfeeding. But from what I have read and heard we need to be rather assertive for a number of things otherwise the staff can walk all over you.

Oh man, I almost punched the lactation specialist. Seriously, watch out for them....
