@rhoswhen: I've had some bad Februaries the last few years. Seems to just be February. Ugh.

@ablative: I'm not a fan of most chores, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd pick putting things away/organizing stuff.

@MotherChucker: I was thinking of doing the same. I agree with isacloud, Valentine's and love will probably be uttered quite frequently.

@bea_arthur: Congratulations!

@laetitiae: Congratulations!

And just for the record, today is Sarah Palin's birthday. I'm sure she's loving this poll as a present.

Maybe he should try getting a real job. I know in my state, people that are purposely unemployed or underemployed get hit with some hefty child support. Get a job and get over yourself.

@kerry: I'll take some rise over no rise at all or a decline. Just sharing the numbers.

I actually had a class discussion about this on Monday. I was appalled to learn my state was lowest on pay equity in the country: they pay 63 cents to women for every dollar a man makes. Not that it's surprising, just absolutely appalling. And I learned that D.C. is number one in the country for pay equity at 82…

@boxspelunker: I think for being 23 you are a very wise person. Or at least that has been my impression with your posts. My hat's off to you. I hope your educational enterprises are going well!

@little penguin: I use depo-provera. I'm pretty happy with it.

@Alohamaid: Thanks for the firefly reference. And thanks for the info!

@flavoredoxygen: I second your thoughts on Miss Alaska.

@RousseMacabre: I slipped on some ice last year and injured my coccyx. It was a couple months of pain and recovery. I hope that is not what happens to you.

@kemperboyd: Oh, hmmm. Veggie tray?

@kemperboyd: I always go for the Chex mix.

@boxspelunker: You really are full of good news this weekend! As I said last night, Congrats and I wish you the best. Keep us posted.

@little penguin: I generally have to stay away from the computer to stay focused. But regardless, music is good for me to focus. And taking small breaks.

@boxspelunker: Congratulations! That is definitely worth multiple exclamation points and attention-whoring! I wish you the best of luck!

@OldTomato: First, I am so sorry. I have gone through this a few times. I second AmberNicole's thoughts about spending as much time as you can with your little love. A few years ago when one of our cats died, we received an ornament with his paw print from our vet. It's nice just to have something to remind us of…
