Something funny to share with you guys... my 5-year-old daughter just said to my 3-year-old son who didn't want to go brush his teeth: "If you don't brush your teeth, they will be really dirty and CREEPY!"

LOL, kids can be very visualizing.. ;) Tomorrow is the big day for you and the twins right? Good luck Melody, I hope to see you soon back here!
 
About kids and funny things they do/say:
we were sitting around the dinner table, talking about rich and poor people around the world. My wife says something like "We don't have a lot of money, but at least we get food on the table everyday" to which my youngest son replied "yeah, and it is usually Alexander who is making a mess"

Yes, tomorrow is the big day so I'll be out for awhile. (I think I'm in the hospital for ~4 days.) See you when I get back!

@Sneaklyfox: Have fun tomorrow! And if you don't get that UWR in labour, there's always next time;)

Aha... "next time"... riiiight. I don't think there will be any labour, unfortunately. I was hoping on it. And somehow I don't think they would really let me do UWR for cubing during C-section because I'm not supposed to move my arms or something. I think things happen very quickly anyway so I can't miss the babies' birth. The best I'd do would probably be like... cubing before C-section like while I'm waiting or something with an IV sticking out of my arm lol but that's boring in comparison. Well, we'll see what there's time for...
 
My partner had a C-section and they tried to distract her with conversation while the curtain was up during surgery. Cubing would probably be a good distraction. You could set a challenge like race the surgeons - try to get that ao12 done before they drop the curtain and say here's your twins! :)
 
After reading some random Color neutral topic here on Speedsolving.com this weekend, I went to check what my current CN status is. I did an Ao50 CN and then an all white cross Ao50.. It was shocking to see I got a 24.9X on color neutral and 27.xx on white cross.. Wow. did not see that comming. All the hard crosses on white only really mess up my averages... I am so glad now that I am really CN. Maybe I should also work on hard crosses ;)

That's cause you did white ao50 after cn ao50, recog would've been shaky

Do a white ao50 first, and then a cn ao50, then see the results :p

Hey Sneaklyfox! What's your news? How are the twins?
Click to expand...

Had the twins by C-section. Timothy was 6lbs 11oz and Elizabeth was 6lbs 12oz (rather bigger than I expected for twins). I tried doing a couple solves before the surgery with an IV sticking in my arm heh... will see if I can upload video sometime in future. So now I'm just recovering... plus all the stuff you do with a newborn in the house (x2). The babies are really cute!

Wow, great news! Congratulations! :D

Video of you cubing on the operating table, please :)
 
Congrats!

Babies love cubes - my daughter picks up my cube when I put it down, she concentrates on it and tries to frantically move her hands across it like I do... but usually nothing moves, it's adorable!

Take some well deserved time out. They grow up too fast (but you know that already!).
 
At 2:21, if you look at the lights on the timer, they turn off. That is when the timer stopped. Your right hand was nowhere near the pad; so it must be a malfunction of some sort. Has it happened before or after?
