Miss Cellania's Comments

Seeing her off to prison would be so appropriate in this last year in which the series is supposed to go darker and darker, leading up to a horrific end. But whether she SHOULD go to prison all depends on how vindictive one feels. Not me, I'd rather let her off myself.

The other quote I had considered using here is from a structural engineer:

Baker says the buttressed core design could be used to build structures even taller than the Burj Khalifa. "We could go twice that or more," he says.

And though he calls skyscraper design "a fairly serious undertaking," he also thinks that it's totally feasible to build much taller than even the Kingdom Tower.

"We could easily do a kilometer. We could easily do a mile," he says. "We could do at least a mile and probably quite a bit more."

I must admit I got a car as soon as I had my license, but it was a hand-me-down worth about $300. I don't know anyone who gets a brand new car as soon as they are licensed. Did the article imply that some do?

Ha! I'm way ahead of her. I stopped weighing myself about ten years ago, and stopped looking in the mirror a few years ago. Then again, my eyesight is pretty bad already, so there wasn't much use in looking anyway.

My kids have friends that are 16, 17, even 18 years old and have never attempted to get a driver's license because their families cannot afford to insure a teenage driver. The insurance can be more than car payments.

Which makes me dread having three teenage drivers in a couple of years. I still want them to know how to drive before they leave home.

Wow! When I go to the NeatoShop, I usually just browse the "new" section. Seeing the collections people put in their wish lists reminds me of all kinds of neat stuff I forgot we had!

If twins had an incestuous child, the parents would have to be fraternal twins (male and female), so they wouldn't have identical genes. And if the child was male, the Y chromosome obviously did not come from the mother. However, the parents could share a lot of genes, so I guess the difficulty of detection would depend on how many genes the parents shared. The chances of the parents sharing 100% off the genome is nil because of the Y chromosome, and the chances that you couldn't detect any of the father's genes would be close to nil even if the child were a girl.

(sniff) Just remembering those early milestones makes me all verklempt. My youngest just started high school, as her older brother went to boot camp.

In two years, we will have three teenage girls with driver's licenses. That's when I'll really have something to cry about.

Maddie will be a killer first-grader.

This graph may say less about the number of jobs and more about the the employment pool. I look at it and see college graduates working at a drive-through window because they rose to the top of the list of applicants.

But yes, some of it may be explained by the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs. Altogether, not very encouraging.
