Title: April 1 reminder
Post by: Doug Peterson on April 01, 2019, 09:29:13 am: Especially for those outside the USA where I understand fewer people "celebrate" April Fools Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day), here is your reminder to read any usual rumors or news posted today with an elevated level of skepticism.

In real news though, my wife and I are expecting a baby girl in mid May. Any and all parenting advice welcome.

+1 on both points.

I was going to add a smiley, but it's no laughing matter.

In Spain the equivalent to 1st April is December 28th.
