I think it's not an urban legend, and no I didn't lick it, but I would if there was a reason to. I kiss them all the time. Maizey, too.

Ok, so in my shed, up on the highest shelf, there is a small pile of sawdust, with very tiny black droppings. I can't find _anything_ to tell me where the sawdust came from- but it's gotta be a roof joist. Any ideas? Carpenter bees? But would I see droppings? I'm not thinking termites- don't they live underground, so I wouldn't see signs up in the highest part of the building? Help!

Do you guys find yourselves getting hooked on a song or 2 for a while and listening to it all the time?

I'm currently stuck on 2 sex pistols songs: God Save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK. Maybe I'm angry?

Is God Save the Queen an angry song?

I have music in my head almost always, and sometimes it doesn't make sense (slow music when i am riding my bike as fast as i can)

oh wait, you are just listening to this music?
ha, my son used to do that and now he's a graduate of the music dept
of the U of washington.
my limit is cd's. i will listen to the same CD over and over again in the car
but i am rarely in the car long enough to hear the whole thing.

Oddly enough, I can see kissing just about any animal. But not licking them. OK. I would probably lick my cats. hmmmm...no. What's the deal with getting a buzz from licking a toad? :confused:

I am at the second day of a 2 day conference. they have a complimentary espresso bar. I had 7 yesterday - 4 with caffeine and 3 decaf (of course after my usual homemade pot of espresso that I drink in the car in the morning). today I have an echo at 3 so I ordered decaf right off. The espresso bar woman just commented that I switched over to decaf really early today. I think its probably a bad sign when you develop a reputation amongst a group of hundreds of people after just one morning.

I am totally going back to law school. Complimentary espresso bar at the conferences? I'm in! Wait...I don't drink caffeine anymore, and, so far as I can tell, I don't want to practice law. Dang. It just sounds so...perfect. :o

Can you tell I'm jones'n for coffee? I am going to look for one of those Melitta cones that fit on top of a mug so I can make a cup of decaf once in awhile.

Why the ECHO, MP? And how are those pesky clots?

What's the conference about? Other than drinking espresso. ;)

I've been soooo busy at work and had to go to Aberdeen (up in the North of Scotland) for 2 days so I haven't been on my bike for a week.....just in case anyone cares.:(

I hope it's a nice day tomorrow.

At least the Sex Pistols version is :D .

My current ineradicable song is "Slowhands" by Interpol. I wake up in the middle of night singing it in my head. No wonder I sleep badly.

Lise - don't go to law school. your job ROCKS!!! the echo is to see how the heart has improved ( I hope) from baseline at the hospital. the pulmonary artery pressure was elevated because heart trying to pump blood to lungs met up w/resistance of the clots. so hopefully it will be better 2 months later. they're doing it as a stress echo, which is good. maybe now's the time to tell the doctor about the marathon :cool: . (in my defense, she did say I could walk for exercise....)

I didn't just start listening to the sex pistols, but recently downloaded their main album. It'd been a while though. Last time I heard their version of God Save the Queen was the karaoke scene in "Lost in Translation" :)

Got my front brake from the LBS. So that will be my project for the weekend. Not that it'll take me all weekend, but I really need to focus on school stuff this weekend. So I can't let my bikes talk me into being irresponsible.

Bruno - Bummer. Will you get some time to ride this weekend?

If I had that many espressos you'd have to tie me to the chair to keep me from bouncing off the walls. :eek: :D

I'm not saying it was pretty.
