Quote: Any more sexist than my attempts to convince my husband that, say, that $500 camera lens will ABSOLUTELY be worth it, because of all the amazing pics of the kids I can get? Or that I should TOTALLY start making cards, because we will save SO much money by not buying Hallmark ones...

Quote:   Probably not by most Head-Fi'ers definition. ;) The others ... well, that's for me to know and you guys not to find out!

  Shoegazer, I love your taste in music :) Can't believe I forgot "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out."

It sounds terribly familiar to me, but I can't ID it. Even used the Soundhound app an my phone, and it didn't know it :(

Quote: Anybody who says "nice cans" to me darn well better be talking about my headphones! 

Quote: If I had a nickel for every guy who told me, "Letting you go was the biggest mistake I ever made" ... well, I'd have about 15 cents. (Funny how they always feel compelled to tell me this after learning that I'm married with kids. It's like they're thinking, "Well, there's no chance...

Ahhhh, college. Never thought I could be so broke and have so much fun ;)

  Not sure it's love-at-first-listen like with their last album, but I'm liking it OK so far.

Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt"   Natalie Merchant's "Beloved Wife" and "Seven Years"   The Dixie Chicks' "Travelin' Soldier"

Quote: Ha! Good assumption, but no, I'm only four months along, so feet are still vaguely visible :)

You should check out a chiro. I thought they were all quacks till I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and pulled a muscle in my back ... frickin' KILLED me. I knew regular docs wouldn't do anything but tell me to rest, and I couldn't even try pain meds. Finally gave in and went to a chiro and felt SO...

Quote:   Yeah, but they don't age well!    Interestingly, I'd say Scottish men were the most attractive (as a whole) that I've seen ... though the women there really were quite plain for the most part.  

Quote: Yeah, that's what my mom always said, too :) If his worst vice involves slaying imaginary monsters with polyhedral dice, I should count myself lucky

Quote: One of my proudest days as a parent was watching my 2-year-old dance to the Descendents :) (His love for Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" was a little more disturbing, though.)

Quote:   My parents took down our handrail like two years ago because it allegedly needed painting (according to them!). Need to get it back.   There is a silver lining, though -- I can barely walk today, so my husband took the day off work to watch the kids. I'm sitting around with...

I'm considering homeschooling our kids, if I can get my husband on board. The schools here are considered good, but my experiences so far with my 4yo (who has some minor special needs) have not been positive at ALL. They only agreed to evaluate him after I wrote the superintendent, the principal...

My gripe: Today I fell going down the stairs (missed a step and fell about 2-3 stairs). TOTALLY freaked my husband out (he practically vaulted down the steps when he heard me scream!), but I'm sure Baby is OK -- I caught myself. In the process, though I scratched up one hand, torqued one foot...

Oh ... my ... god. Those look amazing!   I made this spectacular chocolate cake yesterday for my son's second birthday party. 

Quote:   Aw, that's because you were never a high-school girl. I <3 Taylor (yes, even at my ripe old age of 34!).   Justin Bieber is way up there on my list of most-hated, as well. God, even when I was 12 I would have thought he was a little wuss.

  Quote: That's because your relationships weren't long enough ;) I used to HATE HATE HATE that my husband played D&D each and every Sunday. (And, no, not because it makes him a giant geek!) Now that we've been together over nine years and married 7 1/2, I'm like, "Go! Have a good time...

Just to work. (I used to wear them to run, but I like to use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid exercise. Well, plus it's been like 10 degrees F here.)

Lollapalooza '94 (awesome!) and '95 (meh) Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Nine Inch Nails ("Downward Spiral" tour) Kathleen Battle Sarah Brightman The Cranberries Ben Folds (a couple of times -- he's awesome live!) Gordon Lightfoot

Just started reading Stephen King's "Cell." I love post-apocalyptic fiction :)

      Quote:     Yes, I would agree that the composer should be the starting point, too. I was adding the part about performers in as a sop to those who insist that the performer makes a GINORMOUS difference. :)   Quote:   Bigshot, I think you are really losing...
