Him: must be put the boy down time…
Me: Ayup… Or more accurately, boy is just down time
Him: Still not going to sleep at the snap of your fingers? 
Me: Nope. Surprisingly not
We’ve tried water, music, potty….
(I pause)
Chloroform gave surprisingly good results; but friends said it wasn’t sustainable without damaging the child
Him: yes, Benadryl is more socially acceptable
He is a colleague from a job that I became very good friends with. He now has a 2 yr old & 6 mo old. This is to give perspective to my nearly 4 year old. Actually the conversation continued:
Me: How old are the kids now?
Him: 2.0833 today and 6 months
Me: LOL. Geek
Him: 6.0137 for (The girl) 
Me: Hang on
(I find a calculator)
Aiden is 3.981
The picture for this post was sent to me after my boy was born by another colleague and friend who had two (young) teenage daughters. At the time (just after my child’s birth) I found ZERO humour in the picture. My boy is 4 now… Picture ain’t bugging me as much as it used to. :-O
I haven’t posted one of these in a while… But this one was fun:
lordandrei: Leaving campus
shimmeringjemmy:LwwlllllwmnpaA0pa00
shimmeringjemmy:E
shimmeringjemmy:e
lordandrei: Hi Aiden
shimmeringjemmy:A©
shimmeringjemmy:Q©
lordandrei: Does mommy know you’re typing to me?
(pause)
shimmeringjemmy:she does now
lordandrei: heh
Needing desperately to find someone to talk to. Not seeing anyone around to talk to.
It’s been a while since I’ve actually had an IM get to the point where I engage it. It’s been even longer since I’ve had one that makes me add a whole new paragraph to the IM Rules Page.
This one is a winner. Meet rasclef2005 from Yahoo.
In 3 lines he hits rule 1, 3, and 4. But then he gets interesting with his confusion over my old Yahoo handle and my beliefs.
The conversation…
Well, they are out in full force today. The random IM’ers.
I have a new favourite exchange to make me scratch my head:
Me: So, may I ask how you came across my username
Mrn: yeah
five minutes elapsed
Me: Okay.. you got me. Since you said, “Yeah” I’ll ask. How did you come across my username on Yahoo?
Mrn: yes
Me: sigh
They then Buzzed me so I blocked them. This was then followed by multiple requests to add me to their buddy list.
As a result, the page has been extended again. New rules, new comments.
