    Expecting

    He actually went to bed at his normal time... didn't really notice much of a buzz. Honestly, I think the dog got more cake in his mouth than Sean did.

    PAY Cuts!

    I took a "voluntary" 10% pay cut (but still had to work the full 40hrs) in February... less than 3 weeks later I got laid off... still looking for work

    EB Broken on Firefox

    I would bet on a virus or something rather than something wrong w/ EB.

    THE BREAST FEEDING POLL

    In the US, most stop by 6 months... few go beyond a year. Worldwide, the average is between 2 and 4 years, sometimes longer in areas where clean drinking water is hard to come by. If left to self-wean, most kids stop around 2.5 years. I breastfed my daughter until she was 3. But, the last...

    Purses

    I left everything (except my wallet and keys) locked in the car. I drove a pretty crappy car that NO ONE would want to break into, so I wasn't worried. If you're going to take your purse, I would definitely clear out any loose papers.

    The very best way to handle bathroom breaks?

    I say "go if you gotta go". Comfort is important... and I would not be comfortable wearing a diaper, or trying to hold it. Also, being dehydrated could cause a headache, which will cost you more than the time it would take to go pee. That said, I was careful with what I ate for a couple of days...

    structural AM references

    I have never heard of anyone needing anything beyond the CERM, and maybe an Engineering dictionary for the morning. Just get the references/codes that you need for your afternoon section. 6min isn't written or endorsed by NCEES, and the 6min problems tend to be more difficult than what you will...

    Hybrid Car Sales Tank...

    ^ what he said. The Yaris is the *slightly* updated Echo. I drove my Echo for 6 years, and I liked it... but most men (or anyone over 5'7) do NOT fit comfortably in it. No matter what he gets, once you have kids, you'll want car seats in both vehicles if at all possible. Even if you rarely use...

    Hybrid Car Sales Tank...

    I drove a Geo Metro back in high school. It got ~50 mpg in town... almost never saw a highway, so I don't know what it would've done there. Granted, it was a crappy little two-seater... but it got me to and from school and work. AND, it was dirt-cheap... IIRC - $6500 when we got it, one year...

    Tales of the Interview

    That doesn't sound like a good idea to me... I'm sure it kept people happy... but, I can only imagine what would have happened if someone had had a few too many... and got pulled over (or had an accident) on the way home. As soon as it was revealed that he had been drinking at work, every...

    I can't find an internship

    I'm not surprised. Senior Engineers (w/ PE) are being laid off all over the country... which means that they are starting to accept entry-level positions, which means that EITs are scrambling for internship and engineering tech positions just to get by... leaving nothing for students looking for...

    Free Cell Phones for the Poor

    Maybe it does cost the same to provide a cell phone as it would to provide a land line. I don't know. But, from what I've seen, this is not a plan to eliminate the free land line service... this is a free cell phone in addition to the free land line. Also, I assume (hope) that the free land line...
