Japanese made pig plate, via Blue Button. I figured that there might be some interest from Belgium.

This'll do, Graeme. This'll do.

I tip my hat to my Saeco Magic Comfort Plus: 19,551 espressos, four months shy of ten years in service.

The wife is pregnant with our first child.  We're set to have a little girl in May.

Very excited and absolutely terrified.

Congrats to you both!  Are you having just one (a singleton)?  If so, nothing to worry about lol

Congratulations.

As the parent of a girl, I can only say one thing:

Good luck.

[BloodnThunder]

Thanks everyone!  Fortunately just a singleton.  Got some classes on the horizon which I'm sure will be helpful.  Unfortunately the IH budget has turned into a crib/changing table/onesie/etc. budget for a bit.  Will definitely be setting aside some dollars in prep for next seasons UHF run though.

@Giles what about a 25 oz. baby bib?  The fades would be amazing.

Congratulations! Both sensible reactions, too.

I would trade all the U.S. news "anchors" for  Jonathan Pye. Is he really a reporter or is he an actor? Either way I thought I'd piss myself laughing at his inauguration day rant.

@Giles so what you're telling us is IH fanny packs are in the works? GORDON BENNETT! I think we'd all be chuffed to bits!

@neph93:

I've been thinking a lot about stoicism recently. This seems to me a true stoic victory. An inspiring attitude. Thank you.

Important post, made me look up stoicism & have been slowly attempting to move towards it.

Much thanks @neph93

I found this video to be highly interesting and hilarious at the same time. No wonder it has 15 million views

Damn, the last one :o.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That was the one that made me laugh out loud.
