I'm feeling SERIOUSLY guilty about taking tomorrow and Thursday off. So much so that, through the power of suggestion, I now feel really ill!
It doesn't help that everyone is moaning about how short staffed we are at the moment.

All this snuggling is making me feel bad. Wife and I haven't been able to get any time away from kids enough to get a decent snuggle in. Gah, needy leeches, think they need love, food, support. When I was a kid, I never needed to eat, just survived on the humidity of the air! And clothes, pshaw! I was happy to get a handkerchief and some thread!

First let me say that I have always believed the reason children are so intensely adorable while they sleep is to prevent you smothering them...
Second.. this calls for a hole... my dad cleared a spot in the yard, gave us all spades and told us to dig a big hole for something special... took us hours. I now know this was to get us the hell out of the house... giggle

Full sympathy from me, been in the asme situation, only I ripped mine off when I slipped on the bathroom floor, slid my foot under the door, but since my foot was angled, ripped the big toenail off. Never has there been such pain. I think I got a glimpse of childbirth there.

lol, tis ok. well, the grid structure for towns (look at today's cities for that structure) used in many early European towns and cities was actually taken from a Greek called Hippodamus who drew up the plans for the rebuilding of Miletus after they were attacked by the Persians. This was the first real evidence of city planning, as all previous towns expanded by way of organic growth (such as Athens).
To skip ahead a millenia or so to Versailles (though a lot of interesting stuff city-wise happens between Athens and Versailles), it started out as a rural area but was made into 'the next Paris' because Louis XIV didn't like Paris (as a child in the regency he and his family were imprisoned in the Louvre [which was the royal palace before it became a museum]) and wanted to have his capital elsewhere. He made HUGE changes to the town in order to make it his new city, including the hiring of a gardener to put together huge, geometrically symmetrical gardens behind the palace (a mile and a half long and a half a mile wide, you could fit probably twenty of Louis' palaces in that single garden). This 'style' or 'design' was copied by multiple other royalties who came to Versailles, saw it, and said (in the words of my professor) "I gotta get me one of those!!" Some famous reproductions of Versailles are seen in St. Petersburg at the 'summer palace' and also in Hampton Court.

little tidbit of information: did you know that the man who designed Washington DC was French? (probably did, lol) his name was Pierre L'Enfant, grew up in Versailles, and we wanted him to create a city which directed everyone to a single central point in the city (if you look at an aerial map of DC, you'll see that this is true, and that it is modeled after Versailles, because in Versailles all the main roads lead to the palace). He designed the "People's Palace" which is, of course, Congress.

I'll stop rambling now :-P lol
