smax: I would disagree with you about your wedding observation. Our wedding was very definitely for/about both of us, and it was also for our families (by that I mean that some decisions were made purely for the families' sakes).

blvd: thanks for reminding me about retroactive prayer -- I love that... and I had totally forgotten it. That's such an Ake thing.

Love and miss you all...

I suspect this is probably true for any easily cutting-propagated plants such as pothos, aloe vera, spider plant, jade, or philodendron. Pretty interesting.

You'll do great. Just do whatever you need to not snap -- the pressure on a test like this is enormous... keeping your cool at this point is probably your best bet! Steel compression and tension sounds interesting!

Hey turk, I was also realizing that I still have to this day "Devil's Backbone" (a.k.a Mother of Thousands) that are descendants of plants I originally got from you at NPU. The Captain still has some others that got left behind in Chicago. (Including an incredibly weird plant that I have no idea what it is.)

Most of my other plants are either descendants or the same plants that I had in my dorm room 10 years ago. They might just outlive me. Does a pothos vine have a live expectancy? If you keep making cuttings from the same organism, it could live forever I think.

Anyway... you're going to do great. Don't sweat it. Keep breathing.

I wish people on facebook would put their maiden names in their "info". I guess maybe some people don't want to, but sometimes when people friend me from 20 years ago I honestly can't figure out who they are. Sometimes high school yearbooks don't even help.

Yeah, insecta, don't psych yourself out. Get a good night's sleep, do whatever you need to do to let your anxiety go, and then work on whatever you feel like needs the most attention. You'll do fine!

Sounds like fun, baggs. Say hi to Chicago for me.

Things are good here. Seems like my project is FINALLY starting to wrap up. Changes around the apartment are nice, like I said, a little less dorm-ey and a little more like a real home.

Now that we're real workin' stiffs, we're only going home this summer for 10 days, which kind of stinks, but what are you going to do? I miss you guys.

Had a nice 4th weekend. Went to a party with some of alhp's friends-in-law (her lawyer friends, hah) and then last night we had plans for a game night with our Canadian neighbors. We got a new neighbor upstairs, and the work on our apt. is finally finished and looks really nice. New tub and bathroom sink, new stone tile floors in the bathroom and kitchen. Renters may actually have a little leverage in this economy!

Hope you all are doing well.

You're welcome -- I am really sorry it was gone for so long. I couldn't access it from home before (network issues), and then it went down and I didn't notice for a little while. We should be solid now for the long term.

I think we're back... obviously there will be some things to fix over the next days/weeks, but the basic stuff should work.

Here's a test post with the new software... here goes nothing...
