    That reminds me, I should've mown my lawn more than a week ago... but it's been raining practically every day for more than 2 weeks now. It's no fun battling an overgrown lawn though...

    Flix... Uhhh. I suppose climate is a tad different here. :D We have a nice sea / maritime climate here. No dry season, no hot summers or cold winters. But quite humid (as you might know Holland has quite some rivers and coast lines. :))
    I guess mowing the lawn is influenced by that. :p Imagine living here next to someone mowing his lawn each weak for half a year. ;)

    Reading some websites about lawn mowing. Man, didn't know horticulture is that diffucult. Grass shouldn't be wet when your mowing, nor too dry. It shouldn't be too long etc etc.

    Of course I'm talking about normal grass, not "the Dutch" that people use to "pass".

    A fire ban? So no more burgers on the grill, Dice? We have plenty of water here. Seems like we love the stuff. Switzerland, Germany, France and Belgium all send their water to us! How sweet.

    It's 1.51am and I'm in a hospital bed after an emergency Caesarian section. Adam was born at 1954, 8 weeks early and weighing 2lbs 12oz

    Congrats! But ouch, that can't be fun.

    On a somewhat related note, I've never understood why a woman would elect to have a cesarean if it weren't necessary. Isn't the aftermath of major abdominal surgery worse than a natural birth? Anyone have experience with both?

    People who elect to do this should be shot! They should certainly be banned from parenthood for stupidity!

    'grats Sil. Mrs. dmc had both of the little dmc's by C-section. My son was 10 pounds 5 ounces and his head was bigger than 10 centimeters (yes, I know I am mixing measuring systems), so he wasn't coming out naturally.

    My daughter was 10 days early and 9 pounds 14 ounces. Conceivably (ooh, nice pun dmc) could have been natural, but with the earlier C-section, the doctor advised another to be safe. Mrs. dmc recovered much better the second time around. The first time was just brutal.

    Best wishes for you and Adam Sil. When you are able, upload some pictures here for those of us who have boycotted Face Book since day 1.

    I'm confused, is Adam the father or the son ? At any rate I hope everything's gonna be fine ! Btw, my sister also had a Caesarean section when she had her twins, she's fine that was 2 years ago.

    Adam is the baby Flix :p

    I never had a C-section but it was still painful - and I did have to get some stitches.

    Congrats Silvery!

    On a completely unrelated note, I may have purchased all of the Monkey Island games today off eBay. I need more self control...

    If you haven't played any MI before, you have had too much self control! I had a blast with MI 1-3, my favorite games. I didn't like the 3d games, though (4 and later). Tell Murray I'm still not able to find socks that match.

    I have kind of a love-hate relationship with point and click games. Occasionally I will play one of those "escape the room" games on the net but I always inevitably have to cheat.
