The jackhammer is back...concrete stairs are history and a Japanese Maple is on the shopping list! DD...will we get planted before I leave????

Ah ha! I've been sucked into another tread! I, too, have never lost at Trivial Pursuit!

My mother and her best friend were constantly accused of reading the cards. Of course when you play the same game a couple hundred times you start to learn the answers.

My old roommate was English. He had the UK version. There's a lot of wacky stuff in that version!

My cousin just had twins! Fraternal boys!

One baby's first name is after the mother's cousin, uncle, and grandfather and the father's father's middle name. The baby's middle name is after the mother's stepfather and is also the father's middle name.

The other baby's first name is the mother's deceased father's name. It's middle name is the father's father's name and the mother's great uncle's name!

Or put more simply, hello to little John David and Jay Henry!
Hope that helps distract you Kitty!

congrats!! I do love the names!!

If the Universe is defined as everything, how can it be that it is expanding? Wouldn't that area into which it is expanding already be part of the Universe?

Yes.

Ummm...same reason that October, is the 10th month despite "Octo-" being a prefix that means "eight."


WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY OUTSIDE RESOURCES:

Before our calendar was modified to its current configuration, September WAS the seventh month. In the Roman calander (which was later modified to Julian and then to Gregorian) there were only 10 months.

Stick your aglet in that, SinginChicken!

To me, it sounds like Julius Caesar and George Bush used the same "fuzzy math."
