    Too bad you couldn't bring your chica Ben. You did pretty well for that only being your 3rd time swing dancing. Must be genetic [Emoticon not found]

    my parents have learned enough about exchanges to tell me "be safe" instead of worrying about how much sleep i got (or didn't, for that matter)

    i usually use that guideline. the only time i did the 24-hour rule was when i worked graveyard shifts, and then i'd say from 2 a.m.-2 a.m., but it changed a lot depending on what i was up to on Saturday (always tried to keep 24 hours though)

    what bugs me is the people who seem to do a "sun-up to sun-down" rule, and then go out to eat Sunday evening. but...i shouldn't judge.

    That's exactly what bugs me.... I had a lot of guys in my ward (RM's, incidentally) that would go out at 12:01 monday morning to go get McDonalds, but somehow I don't think they were home exactly at midnight saturday evening after every date or activity....

    There's also the classic mormonism "Nothing good happens after 11 o'clock!" (sometimes 12, but whatever).... I always reply.... "You were probably conceived after 11 o'clock!"

    No, I think he was referring to the tendency after to first kid to be suddenly... uh... of a slightly different body shape.

    And yeah, I never really got used to that. What was worse was sometimes they would whip one "bottle" out for the kid and then uncover the other one and start kneading it to get it warm for when the kid needed to switch. [Emoticon not found]

    A friend of mine, John Cowan, told me a story once of a hispanic woman that was still breastfeeding her son when he was five. She was trying to wean him off but wasn't having much success so she started slapping her breast and saying that it was bad milk. The kid still wanted it and he was old enough to talk. I think when they can say they are hungry that is a good sign that it is time to stop.
