OK officials have acknowledged that there was some double counting last night. I imagine it was a chaotic night. The demands of the 24-hour news cycle are such that info gets out before it's fully vetted. I think the news there are fewer dead bodies than first expected is great! [ Reply | More

Again, they've acknowledged that double counting lead to the wrong number last night -- when the area had just been hit by a massive tornado and power was out and cell phone service was spotty and travel in the area was a mess. It's been corrected today. So that means you had the wrong number of dead for, what, 12 hours? How were you harmed by that slip? [ Reply | More

Oklahoma mom: Let's say that Catherine Jackson died in the tornado. A neighbor reports to the first responders that his neighbor "Catherine [no last name known]" was found deceased under the debris. That counts as one. Then, Catherine's family sees the rubble on TV and calls the emergency response hotline and tells them that "Katie Haines (her maiden name)" is missing at this address. The crews go out, see the body--count it as a fatality under that name. Then, Catherine's husband also reports her missing and she is listed as missing/presumed dead under her married name "Kate Jackson." This kind of thing happens all the time in tragedies that are so spread out in scope. The firefighters that initially responded to the neighbor have one tally going. The emergency response team that responded to the family's search request have a different number and the police that took the husband's information have a third tally. These get briefly reviewed for duplcations, but things like the above don't normally get screened out as obvious duplicates, so they get counted multiple times. [ Reply | More

No--they said they were coming from the medical examiner's office. The medical examiner last evening was getting their numbers from the people out in the field. There were so many teams out there with their own lists that some people appeared (in various forms) on more than one list. [ Reply | More

I come here from time to time. OKC is not a suburb, so I guess by definition it is urban? :) But seriously, I enjoy reading posts by what seems to be mostly intelligent, successful women who enjoy a bit of snark from time to time. It is a good way to pass a few minutes in the evenings after my kids go to bed (or right now, when I have been waiting on hold with a client for the past 15 minutes!) [ Reply | More

[ - ] What do you think makes someone a douche? I'll start: talking about things their grandparents/parents willed them. This guy's grandmother had been in the ground for maybe a couple weeks when he started talking about the penthouse and cars she left him. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

People who use Facebook/twitter to act like celebrities. Either the Facebook statuses where they post their "deep" and "intuitive" feelings on an "issue" - "Friends, I would like to take some time to talk to you about the plight of starving kangaroos...." - or the tweets where they subtly tell you how fabbity fab fab their day was - "awesome lunch at @ruthschris! Now time for some cardio aka shopping at @bergdorfgoodman!!!!" Ok you little asshole. [ Reply | More

OP I know! And my bf who is friends with the guy was like, "Omg I saw pictures of the penthouse though, it's really nice." I mean...OK. I don't have a penthouse but I have enough pride to not talk about how much the place I currently live in is worth. And honestly if something happened to my grandmother I'd be more devastated by that than concerned with the bugatti that was willed to me. [ Reply | More

[ - ] My DD did the School of the American Ballet audition basically on a lark (it was near our house, her usual ballet class had been cancelled that day) and got in. I haven't told her (she's 6.) It's 3K! She loves ballet and seems to thrive on technique, and her local school won't let her advance, so she's getting a little bored with it. I never thought I would be the kind of mom to schlep my kid to ballet class at Lincoln Center, but everyone keeps telling me how this is a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and I'd be crazy to not at least try it. Any thoughts? I'm a bit conflicted, but don't know much about it. Thanks for any insight you can offer. 15 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

You have to take it! So many kids did the audition and I heard that only a small percentage got asked back this year. I have two DD's there and we are thrilled with the program - the instructors and staff could not be nicer. As to cost, if you break it down by class, it's not that much more expensive than anywhere else. You can always just go for a year, and it it's not your thing go back to your original place (most places in the city love anyone trained at SAB) Let me know if you have other questions and congrats.

It's funny, when DH and I were doing well, we would always pay for all those we invited out for dinner. Now that we are struggling, people have not even attempted to offer to pay for us when they invite us out. We will get on our feet and have money again, we will be a lot more frugal. [ Reply | More
