Though it's mainly been a WT thing, I just want to thank the YCers who've sent Mr55 'get well' postcards from all over the world.
They're coming in thick and fast (I think we're on the way to forty in just a few days). He's quite overcome by the response of TTers, and the thoughtful messages on the cards. He just asked me to make sure I thanked everyone very much, and to ensure that you all know just how much it's meant to him.

My brother told me his partner would like an Epicure cutting board for x-mas. I'm sure he meant Epicure is the brand. He said she thinks the cutting boards are really cool.
I've done some searching, but can't quite find what he was describing. I think I need to ask him if it's a wooden or plastic board she's after.
Is anyone familiar with this brand, or a website that might have what I'm looking for?
Thanks.

I'm having a wibble. Came home sick from work at 11am today. Lasted just three hours at my desk achieving next to nothing, not paying attention, mind jumping from one task to the next every few seconds, unable to prioritise. Fortunately the skipper who was in today is lovely and very understanding. She had no knowledge of my previous issues, but immediately told me to take whatever time off I need. Hoping to go back in on Monday morning, but we'll just have to see how things go.
Brain in overload, nothing in particular as a trigger this time that I can work out. I'm assuming it's the change in the season and lack of sunlight etc. But the constant ball of panic in my chest - in the centre, right at the top above my boobs (vocab loss is another symptom of mine), has made me feel sick for two days. I fucking hate depression. I thought I had this bastard thing beat.

Apart from the Her Majesty the Queen, and English ladies and gentlemen, at frightfully delightful garden parties does anyone eat cucumber - and only cucumber - sandwiches?

Or has allender's posting style changed recently?
Lucid, with a vague sense of social ability even.

Further to yesterday's question about how to teach climate change stuff to the clever kids, I've decided I'm going to do a 'diamond 9' with them. This is where you ask a question, then give 12 possible answers on squares of paper to the 'players'.
I'll explain how the game works inside, because it's long winded.. but basically I need 12 reasons/answers to the question: What has caused this alleged global warming? Some of them can overlap.
Eg:
1) Global population increase
2) Medical improvements since 1900
3) The ice age is still ending
Can you give me some options please? Thanks.

Someone on the Canada branch posted a column by that arch "liberal" Ann Coulter
Quite interesting. I don't really follow the debate because of all the politics. I didn't realize there was so much involved with these emails.

it's been about 15 years since I last went on the Tube in the UK.
I guess a lot has changed. I hear people talk about Oyster cards and the like?
Say I went to London for a day or two trip - what's the most cost effective way of using the Underground?

Attention YCers, what is your favorite cubicle style? What is the sexiest stapler? How many of you are Vice Presidents of Copying?
I am trying to be a kinder, gentler Felix. I want the cheerleaders to love me too.
GORCHID, METAL!!!!!!!!!!

I belong to a crunchy parenting forum and one of the topics that came up was "how long (if at all) you felt comfortable having sex while your baby/child was asleep in the same room".
I consider myself to be really laid back with this sort of stuff but I was shocked by some of the opinions. Eg.. more than a few parents had no issues at all having sex with their partner while breastfeeding their new baby.
Just interested in your opinions as you all are a less crunchy/more mainstream yet still dynamic group.

Would you ever pack a bag/suitcase that was too heavy for you to carry on the basis that your other half (or random men you meet on your travels) will, no doubt, be nice enough to help you?
Would you go out to a bar or a club with little or no money on the assumption that men will probably buy you drinks?
If you got a flat tyre and didn't belong to the AA or RAC would you try to change it yourself? Or stand there looking helpless in the hope that some passing chap would do it for you?

my son announced happily to me that he "loooves boobies".
Yesterday he grabbed his willy and announced that it was his "best friend". He hasn't named it or mentioned any of its personality traits so I think he just really likes it.
Normal to normalish?
