dyk I am about to teach Abi how to make study flash cards

dyk I'm so excited hahah

dyk for her vocabulary words

dyk I was helping her study and I asked her to define noise (loud sound)

dyk she said, something loud..... that goes into your ears

dyk and while most people would think that was a clever, creative answer... we know she said it like that b/c her word recall is quite deficient and she couldn't come up with the word "sound" even though she knew what she wanted to say -- and there fore she defined the definition word

dyk not efficient lol

dyk Katy, if you add a few green onions and/or some cilantro, I think that would be pretty tasty!

dyk working at John's firm scares me for several reasons, all of which essentially boil down to the old adage: don't put your eggs in one basket

dyk by working at John's firm, we are both -- financially -- dependent on the same folks

dyk I would also have all of my career and personal "eggs" with him, given his high status at the firm. If something happened in our marriage, I would be single and unemployed (or employed rather awkwardly). This is fear is probably unreasonable, as I don't see divorce in my future, but you never know.

dyk I am used to my independence. I will have less if I work with John and there is no way that we won't end up working together at some point. When it comes to work, we advise each other all the time

dyk and for the more rational reasons (notes those are on bottom): John's firm is the kind of big firm, with lots of administrative crap, that I left years ago and swore I would never work for again.

dyk but to round this out with cliches: never say never.
