for all my mac friends…

Ran across this quote the other day on one of the geek sites I found myself on: “They say that when you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices… But that’s nothing – When you play it forwards it installs Windows.”

The trouble with using a midwife…

…is that they know EVERYTHING! It’s just not fair! With the first two kiddos, this was a typical conversation I had with my doctor at each visit: Doctor: “How’s your nutrition?
