I'm just that kind of a wuss. Um, I'm also backing out if diapers are involved, as I am like 20+ years out of practice in that area. Hmm...you're correct. There was no whining. Uh, are we supposed to have already had our coffee and other stims prior to reading your blog? All those requirements are so confusing... By the way, I got a laugh from your pal "The Carrier" the other day. OK, now resuming radio silence....

No, I did not. There was no whining. The only thing that smacked of whining was my very real concern that my mother might refuse to ever babysit again. And unless you're offering to take over Jack detail, I have every right to be concerned. :-) And, no. Don't hire Men with Pens. They're afraid of tattoos, for God's sake. Nice enough web design, sure. But do you want to support that kind of wussery? @ Mike — Did I whine? No, I did not. There was no whining.

I know that it is very rare to find a tattoo artist that can do Hello Kitty just right. My daughter just moved on from her pierced nose to having her lip pierced. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 giving the most pain, the lip piercing gets a 10 and the nose a 1. Sorry but whining about nose piercings labels one as a nose pierced wuss. Now that I know Men with Pens are Naomi groupies, I'm unsure whether or not to hire them as instead of getting a semi-cool website, I might be financing the entire Canadian tattoo and piercings parlor industy.

I'm all... ow. Just ow. But I would've happily watched and asked the guy tons of questions! On a side note, while Naomi was off having stuff stuck up her nose, I listened to the guy do some customer service with another person. Some woman wanted a blob with a halo put on her arm. And the guy was... Yes. Knowledgeable. "That won't work very well and you're not going to be satisfied." Firm. "We really don't want to do that. It's important to us that we work with a design that we can detail properly." Helpful. "What I suggest is doing this, this and that, which would really look much better on you." And most of all, he wasn't condescending. "There really is no gold for the halo, because that would mean putting metal in your body. And you're a smart woman, so I'm sure you really don't want to do that." Could've just said "No" and "Duh". But he didn't. Nice work. And the upsell was very smooth (see Naomi? I DO read your posts all the way!) and your nose looks very nice. No tattoos here, man. I’m all… ow. Just ow. But I would’ve happily watched and asked the guy tons of questions!

My phone number might be in an e-mail somewhere but e-mail and I'll give it to you. We have pigs and chickens. I bet Jack would like that. :-) JoVE If you are heading back down the 7 to get back to Burlington (it’s scenic, really, and doesn’t take any longer than 416, 401 most of hte time), drop in for coffee/cocktails.
