Urgent messages




Yeah, We Were Shocked Too
Rotten Eggs
This writer discovers that she is pregnant. A wonderful post.
And yes, I got a copy of What to Expect. The King bought it for me. We saw it in the store, and I told him I had wanted to buy a copy for the last two years, but it was just too painful when we weren't actually expecting, so he got it for me. And I cried in line at the checkout.
The Big Hunt
KL’s Blog
Our writer is planning a London move and decides to start a blog while still a DC resident. There’s only a few posts so far but comparison shopping has begun.
Saw so many cute boys last night in Dupont -- unfortunately given the area they were probably all gay. With some exception, most boys who dress well in this country are gay. American men on the whole dress SO badly -- its very hard for me to be attracted to someone who wears pleated pants. Bring on the cute British men with sexy accents.
To Ban or not to Ban
An Even Greater Britton
Writes a passioned defense of smoking in public establishments. But for those who would send smokers from the bars to the streets, there’s this kicker:
Smoking is faboo. And just remember, if you make me go outside to smoke, I'm going to be a real bitch when I get back inside and THAT could be really hazardous to your health.
For a lively debate on this issue see “To Smoke or Not to Smoke” in DCist. The Washington Post report.

An urgent message
Foxy in Fairfax
Could someone please tell the people of the greater Washington DC area the importance of wearing deodorant?
Company Expenses
Scotch on the Rocks
The pros and cons of business travel are weighed. If you travel for business, you know the drill. But this DC Metro area writer tells a more terrible story.
My company had gotten strict (READ: extremely cheap) on their travel policy and I was forced to share a room with my co-worker. Luckily, it was one of the guys I could stand, but damn if I didn't know so much more than I needed to about the guy. I didn't need to know that we prefered briefs to boxers nor the way he snores.
An ex-Floridian’s hurricanes
Leann’s Random Thoughts
This writer missed 26 years worth of hurricanes in Florida and moves to Alexandria. And then one, Hurricane Charley, heads straight for her old hometown.
Thousands of people are still living in trailers waiting for their new homes to be built, and here we are at the beginning of a new hurricane season...
Also Noted:

Ole Miss grad, Lenwood Brooks, has just moved to DC “for good” and says he’s glad to be here but, in a post writes that he “must admit I'm starting to get a little annoyed with all of the motorcades that stroll around at all hours of the day and night. I've become numb to all the sirens.”
