Maybe he should see if he can borrow a moped.

That's an amusing image...my 6'2, broad-shouldered husband on a little moped.

We love the baby nifflers. We have a little Lego baby niffler that was in those little HarryPotter Lego blind bags at Target. I figured out the line I didn’t get the first few times. There is just one thing dh and I are confused about and I will put a spoiler for those that haven’t seen it.

Spoiler

when Leta has flashbacks and sees Corvis in the blanket and falling in the ocean. How could she have gotten that angle of the baby? I don’t think it was her that went after the baby. It looked like the mother of Credence. Now if Credence is magical wouldn’t his mom have been magical and have been able to save the drowning baby? Of course this is assuming that she had a wand. Still trying to figure out if Credence is Aurelius Dumbledore, or if that is a lie.

It doesn't come out on DVD here until next week, so I have only watched it once, when it first came out. But....

Spoiler

I was thinking about the main Harry Potter series, where they talk about how babies/children have magical powers but don't know how to control it, so like....Harry, as a little kid found himself on top of the school when Dudley and his gang were chasing him. Neville's family thought he might not be magic enough to come because he never showed any sign of magic early on, then his uncle accidentally drops him out of a window and he bounced. Tonks' hair color changed several times within minutes of her birth...so, magical babies already exhibit magic.....wouldn't the baby have used its own magic to save himself? I think it's a lie that Credence is Dumbledore, unless there's some obscure branch of Dumbledores that we didn't know about...a long lost uncle or something. But given what we found out in Deathly Hallows about the Dumbledore family, I think we would have found out from Rita's book if that were true. If Bathilda Bagshot knew about all of that, I think she would have known if there was some other relative. But I'll have to watch it a few more times to refresh my memory of everything that happened.

Both his businesses are in Amsterdam, it's a lovely neighbourhood to explore. Around the corner from the ice cream parlour is his cafe the Coffee Room that has delicious coffee, sandwiches and cakes etc. Again all organic and freshly made. My brother bakes most of the cakes himself as he has a real passion for it.

Do people ever confuse his coffee room with a coffee shop? Next time I'm in Amsterdam, we'll have to check it out. I love cake!!

The interview went well I think, they will call me tomorrow (monday) or in the next week for the last interview (with a systems engineer). They told me I practically have one foot on board.
Once I do the last online interview they will confirm if I'm in or not and then proceed to the medical checkup and then do the basic training of maritime laws and rules, etc.. plus get the appropriate Visas depending on which post I am assigned to.

Jeans shopping was an exercise in frustration! Why do they need to make it so confusing? Super skinny, skinny, boyfriend fit, ankle grazers, real straight, straight, boot flare, boot cut and these are just the ones I remember.

That's why once I find a brand that fits me in the style I want, I buy the same thing for years!! (If a style is ever discontinued, I have a meltdown ... ) The other thing is that I hate trying on clothes in the store. Sometimes, if it's an item I really need, I'll buy 2 sizes, and then bring back one as a return at a later date.

Can you tell I'm not a fan of clothes shopping?

That sounds so positive! Way to go, Cesar!!

OMG! So far, so good!!! Praying for you, Cesar -- you'd be the best any company could hire.

In my case it involves kicking 2 people out before 6:15 and setting the other one up for classes, so it's mornings or no time for me

Make sure to get it on video for the next time he decides to be a "man" on a serious note riding one on hills is supposed to dislodge stones.

I have been reading other theories and I think you and @figmentfan423 are headed in the right direction.

Same here though I did make the huge switch from Levi's to Lee's.

We’re just now meeting friends for dinner, but also on call because B’s dad is having breathing issues, we may need to bring him to E/R.

Thanks everyone, hopefully everything goes as planned.

I'm most interested in your father's reaction

He knew it was coming. First he was like, "I hope you didn't pay for TurboTax" and then when my mom and I asked him if he understood the meaning of the word free (literally we both said it at once), then he was fine.

He's still trying to say that doing taxes by hand and sending them in via mail is the correct way to do things....he also tells me I should mail in my credit card payments every month instead of paying online, and we know that isn't happening. I think I'm going to start a list: stuff Dad thinks I should do but isn't happening...
