Sometimes new ocarinas are best.

[dreams]

ocarina - I had to go look than one up. For some reason when you said kids and beads in the same sentence I was thinking ocarina must be "nose" or "ear".

All parents have times like that when they wonder what the heck they were thinking when they were excited about having kids. Some days it requires a lot more thinking to recall the reasons why.

Now you know why, in Nature, so many animals eat their young.

Bought some scales from Amazon. I continue to get adverts for all kinds of scales for sale. I only needed the one.
Our manager bought a book on accounting on the my account. Now I get adverts for all kind of accounting books.
You would think they'de write an algorithm that advertises similar, not the same, goods you already bought.
Bought scales, how about some diet books or low calorie protein bars.
Bought a book on accounting, how about another book on Other Boring Lifestyles.

It all balances out in the last chapter...

Aye - buy something and the things still suggest you might want this one, or that one to go with it. As if anybody needs more than one washing machine/lawn mower etc ....

Crap day, nothing to grouch about

[ProfCrash]

I have a few things to do that should take me under an hour. So of course this is the time for my phone to ring off the hook, the baby to decide not to sleep, and someone who I love dearly who is in a total shit spot in his life to call and recite the same list of life grievances for the thousandth time. So what should have been done by 7 hasn't even been started.

I am going to scream.

Prof - have some tea instead - liberally laced with your favorite alcoholic beverage.

Friggin' Fraggin' why the h*ll can't America use the same phone standards as the rest of the world!!!!

Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (Digital European Cordless Telecommunications), usually known by the acronym DECT, is a digital communication standard, which is primarily used for creating cordless phone systems. It originated in Europe, where it is the universal standard, replacing earlier cordless phone standards, such as 900 MHz CT1 and CT2.[1]

Beyond Europe, it has been adopted by Australia, and most countries in Asia and South America. North American adoption was delayed by United States radio frequency regulations. This forced development of a variation of DECT, called DECT 6.0, using a slightly different frequency range; the technology is nearly identical, but the frequency difference makes the technology incompatible with systems in other areas, even from the same manufacturer. DECT has almost universally replaced other standards in most countries where it is used, with the exception of North America.

Why does it matter -- are you travelling? Or trying to buy something on eBay?!
