Don't write yourself off too quickly - my husband (an EE and embedded systems programmer) says that there are many things, especially in the embedded world - the things you don't see that run factory...

seriously... don't like reality - make it up as you go along, if you believe hard enough it will be true! It's like something out a comedy routine....
here's my comment

That may be a hoax, but the idea that people either did not understand that "Obamacare" and the Affordable Care Act were one in the same or simply did not believe that the program could be dismantled...

Look what I found just out my own front door!

It's just amazing how well birds, especially birds...

Found myself a mess of matsutakes. I'll be shopping for ingredients today and cooking up these lovelies for myself and a few friends tomorrow. yum! These only grow in the wild and tend to be kind of...

I'll admit my first reaction was just wanting to throw up and then to hide under the covers and fantasize that someone would find a big box of uncounted ballots from Pennsylvania... but I've been...

Really? I just heard the exact opposite - granted it was from a teen - 20 something that we just bumped into on a bus in San Francisco, but we were talking (he was shocked at how crowded the bus was...

I don't know about Florida, but up here in WA, we'd prefer to have drunken people riding bikes than driving cars…. so BWI is not a traffic offense. If you look like you are endangering yourself the...

Hey Kit - long time no see - are you OK? we're here if you need to talk, even not about bicycles.

It is indeed Chinese and it looks rather suspiciously like spam.... people who post stuff like that probably get paid by the click. They don't necessarily care where they put it up - it doesn't cost...

I feel your pain..... our team gear is mostly men's sizing. (well - they have women's sizing but we can't offer both because we wouldn't make the minimums.... I think our shorts, though not bibs, are...

It happens out here too - I'm also from Pittsburgh (and the hubby is from Maine) and we still laugh when panic sets in here over snow, but we do realize the city is not equipped to handle it so it...

Those kids (even if they did not have that number of siblings) would likely not have what most of us consider to be much of a "normal" teenagehood..... they tend to not talk about it too much, but...

I think some of us taste a bitterness from the hops in beer that other people can't... I hate beer. There are other alcoholic beverages that I like (good sake is terrific- cheap sake is nasty...if...

when its cut up in tiny pieces on sushi you don't have to think about it.....

My father in law used to send the hubby back from college breaks with venison and ground moose. We used to make chili and spaghetti sauce with it since its very very lean and won't stick together to...

Yowza! I was working up on Beacon Hill at the VA Hospital during that one. Everything started creaking and sounded like there was a train going through the room next door. I was helping a...

photo up in the pet thread!

We decided on a kitten since we have a resident cat and adding a kitten to the household is usually easier than adding an adult cat. Koji is really, really bonded to...

wheew - my resident kitty is totally accepting the new kitten. We lost his elderly cat companion recently and we thought we shouldn't let him be alone too long so we adopted a new kitten on Monday....

Yeah - I know what you mean - the hubby installed our dish. We had our Talkabouts out and he was up on the roof (he's afraid of heights too) and I was down watching for the
signal...

Switch to Direct TV if you can - O man - they have the *best* customer service. When we were having freaky problems with our box (it kept deleting all of our channels off of the recieved list every...

I seem to have a new pet in the office. For the last couple of days I've seen this itty bitty light yellow/green spider hanging around on my computer monitor. It's literally about the size of a pin...

I tacked this onto one of my replies to the saying hi thread, but I know a lot of the Seattle gals look here so repost:

BTW - through the end of track season (last week in August) I will be riding...

mmm yummm - someone at the STP year suggested a good conversation starter might be: You ride up to a total stranger, pull the butt butter pak out of your jersey pocket, and say in a loud vioce," I'm...

Nanci will be proud of me - I stopped and turned around to shoo a snake off the bike trail yesterday - after narrowly missing decapitating the little guy. I don't know my snakes, but he/she was black...
