don't know what else to do with this 51-inch monster though.
Mars Lander Staggers Into NASA Headquarters Drunk, Broke
The hijacking of an Afghan airliner ended peacefully in England. Immediately afterward, British officials were inundated by what request from the passengers and hijackers?
(Don't send me your answers. This is just a little way to expand your horizons. Honest.)
Are they trying to kill me?
We had Cordelia getting pregnant with demon babies on Angel. We had a mother throwing her baby out of a burning building on Third Watch -- which also gave us an ambulance getting into an accident with a car driven by a pregnant woman, who went into premature labor and lost the baby. (Of course, she was as pregnant as I was at the time.) Then we have Nurse Hathaway having quite possibly the worst delivery (of twins, no less) in history on ER.
Law and Order last night had the case of the new mother who let her baby starve to death.
I feel as though these shows should have a disclaimer on them: Don't watch if you're pregnant and really feeling those darn hormones. I wonder if I'll ever be able to watch shows involving children again.
On Tuesday the AAA guy showed up and tried to jump the battery on my car. When I tried to start it, it sounded as though it were going to turn over but it never did. So he called for a flatbed truck and they took my car to the dealership, at which point they discovered that the AAA guys must not have known what they were doing, because they were able to jump the battery immediately. Of course, they ended up replacing the battery (which makes me wonder about the whole battery recharging thing).
I got into the car and discovered the "Check Engine" light was on. I thought, Yes, I know they're idiot lights, but a)I'm at the dealership and b)I don't want to look at this large yellow light. I got out of the car and told them about it, which meant I got to hang around for another half an hour while they discovered the four-wheel-drive unit wasn't talking to the main computer. Do I even have four-wheel-drive? I thought. They fixed it and turned the little light off.
In the Forum, we're still discussing what I should name the baby. I also started a betting pool on when the baby will be born.
I also want to know what TV shows you watch and what movies Darin and I should see...on cable, at any rate.
The answer to Tuesday's question: French schools can now distribute the so-called "morning after" pill, which can be used to prevent pregnancies for up to 72 hours after having sex. It's not the same as RU-486, the pill that can terminate pregnancies up to 12 weeks after conception. Nurses are advised to call parents, but they don't have to.
