No, I'm an American civilian.

I never had a major. Minors, I had. Multiple. English, Liberal Arts, Math, Electronics. And I've been a Peripheral Systems clerk, keypunch operator, OCR typist, Aviation Sheetmetal Mechanic, Cal Lab geek, and tech writer.

That bothers you to? Me two.

ROFL! I can't stand it when I mix up words like that. . .
or when other people do. IE: bear, bare. two, too. quiet, quit, quite. etc

Yesterday we went for a long walk and pram ride(>6.5 miles), and Altoid chose the occasion to show off her Valentine's Day gift new linens for the pram, made by Piq(with help from Selma):

Awesome linens! Good job ladies!

Piq and OT: She always looks so happy. . .what do you do.. .duct tape her mouth into that smile??

[OperaTenor]

I tell her Mommy's about to come home just before I snap the photo, and she stops the continuous crying and smiles every time!

(j/k)

[mmichaelson]

ROFL! Figures!

Anyway, she is such a happy kid. That is a great testament for you guys as parents, so congrats!

[piqaboo]

I think its a testament to whatever scrambled gene sequence got put together. I sure as heck dont smile that much. And I havent a clue what she's got to smile about but she do purely love being the center of attention. I think it will be healthier for her to be a soprano, all things considered (except OT's feelings).

I might join on that only because it's physically impossible for her to be a tenor!

[mmichaelson]

ROFL! You two are funny! She's happy because you LOVE her. She is well loved. . .as it should be.

[OperaTenor]

There you go, making assumptions...

"Linens" are cotton. flannel. Good stuff! Piq has fine taste in color and pattern selection and both she and I deeply regretted the lack of lime-green thread for the edge-work. (Only need eight miles or so. But no lime-green to be found )

[mmichaelson]

Awwww. Even online???

[lioness]

i see what you're saying. lime would definitely have put it all together very nicely.

i am truly a sucker for good linens... and a comfy pair of sweats

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

I'm sure I could have found lime green on-line somewhere. However, both time and budget were limited so Piq checked local stores, and then we ended up with Piq digging through my large basket of serger cones. The red looks good; we just think lime green would have been outstanding!

[OperaTenor]

Lime would have been nice, but I, and I think I speak for Altoid as well, think the linens are truly wondermous and fantificent! My better half has a phenomenal eye for color. I don't think I would have been brave enough to put those patterns together in my mind's eye.

[mmichaelson]

She does look smashing surrounded by them, no?

In spite of missing the lime green, the linens did indeed come out very nicely.
