MP, surely you weren't injecting 80 cc (ml). That's almost 3 oz. Must be mcg. I've done sub-cutaneous injections (in the fat), and intramuscular, to myself. Theoretically, I could start an IV on myself, but I've never had to. I have a rep at work for being a very good shot giver. I keep talking, as if nothing were happening, and then zing! done.

Yeah, SK corrected me - it was mcg's. What do I know?

[SadieKate]

So, what is a mcg? A microgram? A milli-something-er-other? Inquiring minds want to know.

I just copied it off the box. I think it also said 0.5ml next to the 30 mcg.

Plot Summary for
Mystery Men (1999)

In order to generate more endorsement revenue, Champion City's resident superhero Captain Amazing arranges for the release of supervillian Casanova Frankenstein, only to be captured by him. The city's fate rests in the hands of seven loser superhero wannabes: the fork-flinging Blue Rajah, the shovel-wielding Shoveler, the posessed bowling ball-hurling Bowler, the flatulent Spleen, the only-when-nobody's-looking Invisible Boy, the mysterious Sphinx, and the perpetually-angry Mr. Furious.

Yeah, it's micrograms. Should really be written with a mu instead of mc, but I guess the drug companies have no more idea how to coax the greek alphabet out of their keyboards than I do.

Man, yesterday WOOT http://www.woot.com/ got me with those phones, and now this morning Steep and Cheap had these cool Smith sunglasses http://www.steepandcheap.com/ for $18- got a pair for BF who is the sunglass killer. No, they are not polorized, but $70 glasses for $18?? They are very nerdy. So far I've managed to resist WOOT Wine...

Well Streamboat Inn it is.

Now which bikes do we take?

Mountain Bikes - the Umpqua Trail is pretty cool.

Road Bikes - Crater Lake is nearby.

Bugger, I can't register as a bone marrow donor cuz of the cancer clause.

Anybody do Where's George? i just got a wild from Hawaii! www.wheresgeorge.com

Work soap opera update: just found out the aide who's been causing me so much strife is "seeing" one of the upper level staff. I'd heard a brief remark about her a while ago, but thought it referred to something in the past.

And the beat goes on...

Nanci,
Can I hold you responsible for the $20 charge to my credit card from steepandcheap.com this morning? Totally forgot to look at the website until I saw your post. Those glasses are cool!

dum de dum....sitting here thinking about tomorrow & sunday-so much to do & in too many areas of the city...

I want to go mtn biking in the morning then go to some open homes on my way back...Opposite ends of the city..I have to get some off road time this weekend as i'm doing the perth mtb race on sunday (my second race...)

It's so quiet in my house...this is the time i wish i had an animal to keep me company...

My new lights are well worth the $$...Comparable to the ones ian made but just that tad bit brighter & narrower in light circumfrence...(does that make sense??)

I ran into my friend tonight-twice! I saw a rider walking their bike on the path & stopped to see if i could help (i had just started my ride)-It turned out to be Ellie (my new biking partner/friend) who had a flat but lived just accross the field...Then ran into her again just as i was going around the corner at the end of my ride-She & her other half were headed to the cafe area near us....

Good Lord you all have been posting a lot! I'm never going to catch up!

I've had too many IV's in my hands - both knee surgeries and both babies. The knee surgeries were the worst - they couldn't get it in (veins kept rolling). I broke out in a cold sweat and almost passed out. I am not good with needles.

I did a bunch of Where's Georges, and they promptly dropped off the face ot the earth. Haven't seen one in a long time. I even sent mine off far away from where I got them, like gave to my kid to take back up to MN, etc.

Is this the movie? I'd never heard of it but it was on SciFi Wed night and I asked Bubba and "Junior" (the young man living with us for the month) about it. Junior said it had Ben Stiller in it which nixed it for all of us. I liked the rest of the cast though. Should I try it? William H. Macy can usually sell just about any movie to me.

I really like the new SciFi series "Eureka." Very quirky and makes you do a little thinking. Of course, it's a little funny that the entire cast is gorgeous (well, except for the one computer geek who built the smart house but he fits the role so well).

[Nanci]

Yes, that's the movie.

I love William H. Macy, Jeanine Garafalo _and_ Ben Stiller.

Because of the superhero thing yesterday afternoon.

My fav WHM movie is Fargo.

that happened to mine too. i just figured i was the only one that used that websight. glad to know i'm not.

question: what's woot.com? is it like steepandcheap.com?

[Nanci]

What is Woot and who's behind it?

Woot.com is an online store and community that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started as an employee-store slash market-testing type of place for an electronics distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own. We anticipate profitability by 2043 – by then we should be retired; someone smarter might take over and jack up the prices. Until then, we're still the lovable scamps we've always been. But don't take our word for it: see what the online community has to say at this Wikipedia article.


I see only one item, do you sell anything else?

No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details). However, each item we sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days.


What is the schedule for new items?

The short answer: we offer a new item every single day. The details: a new product is released every morning at 12am central time, seven days a week. (If you're not a morning person, this can be described as every night at midnight. Better?) If a product sells out during its run, a new item will not appear until the next release time. You will know if a product is sold out, because the main page says "SOLD OUT" instead of "I want one". (Clever, eh?)


I missed yesterday's item, can I still get one?

No. Each woot.com product is discontinued at 11:59pm central time. That's that. Period. We may get more at a later date if we're lucky, but we offer no guarantees, we allow no backorders, and we have no waiting/notification lists. Too bad.


I want to talk to a live person there, can I call you?

No. We are busy sourcing new products and shipping orders. You can post a comment to our community board, but we don't guarantee we'll respond. You should Google for the manufacturer contact to get product answers – we suggest a dating service, magic 8 ball, or ouija board for general life solutions.
