I had to share this little gem from filling out the form for the newest one's birth certificate.  Note that this is the entire section on race and question 6 and 7 are different.  

 

 

LOL, North Dakota, LOL. 

[SAT 9,609]

If you don't answer, can you still give birth?

Don't they have to put down what appears to be your race if you refuse?  

 

The ancestry question is bizarre.  They don't do that in Minnesota.

I don't recall any race questions in the NY questionnaire...

[SAT 9,609]

 

In Arkansas, they ask how the mother and father is related

i don't think they need to ask that question. Way too many ppl look like siblings who are married.

Couples do start to look alike after a while.

A nice day,  finished a project from a few years back

I was glad to see that his watercolor tattoo is still intact almost Many years after I did it. 

It was humbling and shocking to know my client supports his family making less than half of what I make,

the pay in Mexico is ridiculous. How can people afford anything? This apartment costs more than most

people's salaries. It's out of control. I'm incredibly lucky I do what I love and I earn very well for it. 

 

I'm waiting for my last appointment and then probably drink a glass of wine and enjoy a film.

I have two full weeks before getting back to Cozumel, and then to relax on the beach.

We are so happy when you're in positive spirits, si D2 ma'am.

Well, it kind of starts and stops with - I went to the small hospital in MN last time.  No one came when I called when the little Dane turned blue the first time.  The ward was empty.  The second time, no one answered when the nurse who was in the room pressed the emergency wall button.  She ended up running down the hall and then another with him in her arms.... 

 

Hospital in ND is bigger, does multiple c-sections a day, the c-section room is right across from the NICU and there are like a million nurses if you so much as stick your head out of your room.

[TBoneTX 45,259]

Foto of stuck head now, get back in your room Nola-B. ma'am.

We are asleep on our feet, de-dish cat prep first man.
