NOTE TO SELF:
ohtrouble: When you see someone you haven’t seen for a long time and they are pregnant, DO NOT say “OH MY GOD, YOU’RE HUGE!” as you will upset them. Oh no!! Did you say that? :)

I am sick of being sick.
Really sick of it. I don’t have the flu. I am pregnant. About 20 weeks. Being pregnant is like having some version of a perma-flu. Haven’t been able to keep any food in me since Saturday. Went to the doctor today and she doesn’t want me eating anything for 24 hours (so the stomach will get to an o.k. state). I am supposed to be drinking lots of Gatorade/Powerade though because...

Something I hate about the the Tumblr Radar
There is no way to click to the exact post from Explore/Radar. (Or at least I can’t find it.) You have to click to the person who posted the item and go find it yourself. Lame. [Update: Thanks @ stupidinboston.tumblr.com: “There is a very small dot to the right on the bottom bar of each post, that dot leads to the exact post.”]

I’m gonna be very happy when the nearby cannery shuts down for the season. So sick of hearing surging buzz and clanging metal sounds all hours of the day and night.

YouMail :)) Voicemail You Love →
rodmitch: YouMail’s emails with an MP3 and transcription of your voicemail message is the coolest thing ever. You can set this up with your cell phone with your phone number. For free. This seems absolutely perfect, especially for people like me who aren’t exactly voicemail fans. I dread listening to my voicemail. Has anybody tried this? I’m thinking about it. I just get nervous...

The Importance of Ayers →
sds: No, I don’t think Obama is a terrorist. But I do think his connections to Ayers reveals a radical liberal ideology, not to mention poor judgement. Wright is in the same vein.

Tumblr Discussion on Disciplining Children →
sds: “When I see parents reasoning with their toddlers, because they think spanking is abuse, I want to go up to them and say, “You do realize that your child is not sufficiently developmentally advanced to comprehend what you are saying to them, don’t you? Swat them on the back side, just enough for it to sting a little, tell them no, and if they don’t get in line then, say you will do it again....

– McCain I agree. If Obama is elected I will probably benefit in the short term in certain ways financially. (I don’t believe this would be a long-term benefit because I believe raising taxes on “rich people” and businesses actually hurts the middle class and underprivileged in the...

“If you’re going to disagree with a politician, disagree with their politics.”
– Rag Times: Some Respect for Mr. McCain (via peterwknox) It is good to see respect on both sides. If you don’t like it done to your side, don’t do it to the other side. And don’t take things out of context.

Report: Secret Service Says 'Kill Him' Allegations... →
Agent Bill Slavoski — who was standing in the audience along with other Secret Service agents during the rally in Scranton, Pa. — said neither he nor the other officers heard the comment, according to the report published Thursday. The charges — first reported Tuesday on the Scranton Times-Tribune’s Web site — claimed that a male audience member shouted “kill...

Getting antsy to know the gender of my baby. I am 17.5 weeks so it would be guaranteed (or else you get to come back for free until they can determine the baby’s gender). The cheap packages range between $75.00-$95.00. Unfortunately I don’t live in the Portland area (although it is my nearest big city). I’m not really that far away but far enough that I don’t think I can...

The Gist of the ACORN Story →
fuddmain: Josh Marshall: Again, there have been numerous investigations of this. Often by people with at least a mild political interest in finding wrongdoing. But they never find it. It always ends up being right-wing hype and lies. Remember, most of those now-famous fired US Attorneys from 2007 were Republican appointees who were canned after they got tasked with investigating allegations of...
