SOME THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME AS OTHER THINGS
Patti Smith is not the same as Patty Smyth.
Patti Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist, who became a highly influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses. Called the “Godmother of Punk”, her work was a fusion of rock and poetry. Smith’s most widely known song is “Because the Night”, which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978

After examining her, the medical staff estimated that she would give birth sometime within the next six to eight hours, or approximately 5 pm to 7 pm that evening. As a first-time expectant father, I did all the normal things, stayed by her side until or unless the maternity ward staff kicked me out temporarily while they did their thing, otherwise, I nervously paced the halls of the hospital. By 6 pm, the baby still wasn’t ready to make any debut, and the estimate was changed to between 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm. More pacing. At 10:45 pm, still nothing, and the new estimate was then changed to between “just wait and see” to “maybe sometime tomorrow”. On top of all my other compounded anxiety, a panic-stricken thought shot through me: the date was the 12th of the month! If the birth took place at any point after midnight, every time for the rest of ou... less

This caused me to have to decide... put the sign back or not? I decided to put it back.. in my world, that's the kind of sign I want on my fridge :PWhat do other people do?

About 18 months ago, the same thing happened with our water heater. It had put in about 25 years of service, because it was installed by a previous owner here.

He: “How does that translate to you making more sandwiches for me?”She: “It’s not normal, don’t you realize that? You have a screw loose, you have problems.”He: “This is about you buying avocados last week and bringing them here, having them in my kitchen, isn’t it?”She: “You need psychiatric help. I envision long term and in a secure facility.”He: “I bet you even dream about secretly slipping me some Vegemite every now and then, don’t you?”She: “Sometimes I ask myself why I’m even with you.”He: “I never lied to you, I didn’t hide it, you knew about the sandwiches before you decided to be with me.”She: “Back then, I thought it was just some silly quirk, a phase.”
He: “WHAT?”She: “It used to be cute, now it’s just irritating.”He: “I can’t hear this, I can’t s... less

The doctor(s) did not expect me to live, and told my mother that she could go home and she would get a phone call when I died. I guess I fooled them all.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I asked my mother if our family had $100 in the bank. Of course, I had absolutely no reference or mind frame for the worth of money, so I thought $100 meant wealth.

One of our freinds daughter has just got her first crush and its been pretty funny watching then. Its also been pretty cool watching her 2 brothers giving their sisters new crush the evil eye to let him know that he better be good to their sister. Cheers!
