Anything new and exciting happening with you other premies?

Our secret clubhouse is so very, very quiet :(

I would reply, but I was instructed to only allow one ping.

Well, after a couple months of being un-employed, I may or may not have a job. I'll know by tomorrow morning wether or not the interview went as well as I think it did. That's really about it. When you're un-employed and broke there isn't really much you can do to make your life exciting.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I'm employed and broke. Probably not, but hell, why not share.

I heard a rumour that unemployed people just sit around and have sex all day.

Huh. I just tilted my chair back to ponder your question and noticed that the ceiling looks extremely warped and water damaged. I'm slightly concerned. Perhaps I'll move my laptop to a safer location.

So ... nah, not much.

My place of employment has moved to a new location.

The new location is inside an old building built almost exclusively using corrugated iron.

I now only have mobile phone reception outside of work hours.

I'm not sure whether this is good or bad.

The important factor is whether or not the tinfoil hat will still be effective!

We had about 16 guests in the house today. Plates all over the place. I'm too lazy to clean, and I'm sure somebody else will do it in the morning.

I've just returned to work after taking four of the last five weeks off. I have a wonderful new cuddle bumpkin to go with my 2002 model. According to my wife I am not allowed to eat the children so I might as well do some work, earn some money, pay dem bills, drink dat rum, etc.

Oh, I had a new terrace put in and the steps on the front porch redone; cost a million but who cares.

How about taping them to the ceiling [goats.com]?

Taping babies to the ceiling is not really worth it if you only have 2 available. Most people need at least 7 (or more for 2+ living areas and multiple-story houses)

No, Rich might have a point. We have an 90 m^2 appartment with two large rooms and a couple of smaller rooms. With my two and the three that our neighbours have I'll have 5 babies which might be enough.

You could substitute pets and stuffed animals. Then the babies would have something to play with.

But what if the monkey, remember he's a ninja pirate SWAT team monkey, was to come in from the roof? Then the monkey would take the higher ground and the baby would have a distinct disadvantage. Unless he can somehow tape the monkey down (or up).

Or is your higher ground some sort of creationists' drivel?
