I just got to tell someone she won a 20GB iPod. That made my day.

I hate my job. Along with being the CPC manager, I am the only cashier today from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. Grrrrrrrr

I hate my fucking job. Did I say that already this morning? Well, it bears repeating.

Stupid, soul-sucking, hamster wheel spinning, man's inhumanity to man, customers with tongues like barbed wire and mind's just as narrow, shill managers with Napoleon complex havin'......argh!

What I want to know - is if you're working cash register 8am-4pm, how are you online?

Cos' I'm a stealthy bastard and they think I'm typing in new Advantage Card members.

In your face Evil Corporate Empire!

Seriously, I want to stand up on the counter, give everybody a crotch chop, yell out "I'm Famous Mortimer, bitch!" and bonk out.

We'll do that as soon as Blue & I can quit our day jobs and support ourselves on BT's income.

No, but I'm confused. Exactly why did the dwarves have to film the whole thing? That and Adam's leering grin.........

Dag is a noun not an adjective! I can't confirm whether its common slang use is derived from also meaning faecal matter hanging from the hairs on your arse but it is often used affectionately-- "You silly dag!"

I'm on my third cup of coffee this morning and I need to walk down to the post office to mail a friend some mix tapes.

I just cut my son's hair, about oh, two months overdue. I nearly forgot there was a little boy under all that!! He looks instantly three years older. Freakin me out...

We've had fun tonight!

Little Liv has suffered her first ever (non baby) serious vomitting session

She'd been complaining about an ache in her stomach all evening, but I think it was that "I feel sick" feeling - she just couldn't articulate it, bless her.

Anyway, I'm sitting reading to her in bed, when she sits up, looks at me in a worried manner and promptly directs this evenings dinner all over me and the bed. Further puking takes place in the bathroom and on the landing. She looks much better and we clean it all up and get her back to bed.

The second episode was worse. We'd put a bin next to her bed, but she missed by a yard and managed to get it all inside the bed structure, so that I had to dismantle the whole bed to clean it up!!

She's finally asleep and looking peaceful, but I'm not fooled....Linda Blair is just waiting to re-appear.

It just ain't parenthood without a certain amount of vomit, but still, sorry to hear. Poor you, poor her!!!

Ah, good times, good times. Reminds me of the time my daughter blew chunks all over herself, her car seat and the back seat of my Toyota. That was a fun clean-up. Thank God I went for the leather upholstery.

Don't worry, they'll be cleaning up your vomit and changing your diapers some day.

I think my fave vomit episode had to be when Jack was about 2, in the middle of winter, all bundled up, in a Brookline post office. Every surface made of marble or terrazzo, hard and slick, and with nothing but thin tiny postal forms to clean up with. Banana, as I recall. Amazing how there's always three times as much in vomit form as there was as food.

Must be "vomitting season" as my 9-year-old puked on the carpet and cushions yesterday. She ate something right before going to bed and pushed it with orange sparkling water. It didn't go too well...
Kids, huh ?

Anyway, sorry about your daughter, Jackson. Hope she's ok now.

the barfing stories I could tell.

yeah, I'll spare you all of them.

but my youngest son had a thing for throwing up in the checkout line of our local Big Ass Grocery store. bagboys run like hell when I go there now.

I hope all your little ones feel better soon. have a coke and a smile?

i had a kid walk down the stairs at midnight when she was 5 covered in blue slushy. "i threw up in my bed." she proceeded to throw up like clockwork every 20 minutes for 3 or 4 hours. poor thing got so worn out. must have been food poisoning. i laid on the floor beside her bed and would just raise up and hold out the bucket. i was a little tardy once and she nailed me right in the puss. "i've never had anyone throw up in my face before." and then another time...
