The link for freetranslation.com doesn't work.

And for those who didn't catch it "to be sure to be sure" is an Irish saying.

I like that saying, and the translation. Now all we have to do is teach it to the obstetricians.

(Quick explanation of the reference for those who are completely confused: VBACS - vaginal births after caesareans - are becoming less common because some doctors have started using single instead of double stitching when repairing the casearean incision, thus making a subsequent birth more risky. Or so I've read.)

The translation's pretty much correct. It's a saying that means if you do something twice, it may be redundant, but you'll be sure to be sure.

Ah, yes. I was pretty sleepy that morning.

Hrm, the translation from freetranslation.com might not be that far off: "Doubly sewed holds better", at least in a really loose definition of "not that far off"...

NOW the second try shows... so apparently it went through before IE7 crashed. Oh well. Doppelt genäht hält besser.

For the third time...

The cell phone call came from Italy. (I note that because [I'm anal and because] proposing in an Italian castle courtyard is likely to be one of my few claims to romantic fame...)

Ok, let's try this again...
