A visual representation of name-popularity
(Use with Social Security's Site.)

What this site has done is convince me that Bad Baby Names aren't just a modern invention. Well, that's sure a relief.... Minerva, for example, was relatively common before the turn of the century, and remained in the top 1000 until the 60s! That's also when Adolph dropped off the top 1000 baby names list. The 60s.

Where they prove that paper toilet seat covers don't do anything.

Well, I already knew that. People generally don't get infectious diseases from bare, unbroken skin touching where other bare, unbroken skin has been. And bacteria don't hang out there.

So I also already knew that phones have more germs than toilet seats. Of *course* they do - your phone is near where your *mouth* is, and you cough and sneeze into the phone often, and you talk into it, and every time you open your mouth, you're spreading germs. Germs *like* the mouth and nose. It's a great place for them to both breed and spread from.

Went to the Scholastic Store for a program. That store is really well-designed, and I've got a few books now I need to pick up, stat. But this isn't anything new :)

On our way home, on the boat, Ana and I played tag. It's so cool. She now understands the concept that "First I catch you, and THEN you catch me, and THEN I catch you again!" *giggles* At one point, I took a break and sat down....

Ana: Connie! Don't catch me! *giggle*
Me: Okay, I won't. *continues sitting*
Ana: ...
Ana: CONNIE! CATCH ME!

She's such a sweetie, sometimes. Friday, when Meghan was sleeping and she wasn't, it was all "I don't like Connie, I don't like Connie!" but when I take her downstairs to let her mom in, it was all of a sudden "Ana LOVES Connie. And... Connie loves Ana too!"
