Too funny TD! You ladies crack me up.

I can't read RBR - just irratates me too much.

Lise, nice talking to you too Hon. I made a little modification to my profile to hopefully stop the non available ones from bugging me. Worth a shot.

I'm picking up my vehicle on Friday instead. So the accord needs to hold up for an extra day. I'm getting excited

OTG, great news on the continued weight loss! I am so happy for you. Good luck with the dr. today - I know what a PITA that can be.

Knot - congrats on the GRE!! That is great. So how's the app coming along??

Off to let out the first cup a joe and down #2. Forgot my bisquits for the company potluck today - they're serving fried chicken. Yummy!

My home internet connection has been down since Sunday, so I feel like I've been missing the party.

GRE SCORES ARE GOOOOOOOD!!!!

Yes yes yes! I talked to 2 different people in graduate admissions, and they both said my old scores were still good!

Knot, good deal on the GRE scores!

...if it gets any worse, I'm gonna drink myself into a comma.

X - is that anything like drinking yourself into an apostrophe?

kelownagirl
X be careful, all that drinking is hard on your semicolon

You all too too funny.

coffee crisis!

So, I'm drinking my coffee this morning from the traditional Mason jar.

Edit: no spoons either, so I'm eating my yogurt with one of those little honey-jar spoons!
I'm just a vision of elegance and refinement this morning!

My grandmother used to drink out of Mason jars all the time. No handles either. Speaking of spoons, is anybody else here a connoseur of the spork? I have this one
and this one
both in titanium, and this one .
in lexan which is called a foon. Great for eating noodle soups, and absolutely anything you can cook while backpacking.

Just doing this to make the post live on in infamy..........

Thanks, Snap, for preserving history in a little TD time warp. Some of us would miss out otherwise.

well, the tech advice is better here anyway. We have DebW and they don't (as far as I know).

Yup, I only give out advice on TE. I don't even attempt to read those other sites. TE rocks! And you all even seem to trust my advice most of the time... *bwaa haaa haaa*

Deb
you're smart enough to say "I don't know" sometimes. That's all i need to know
it means your advice is sound because if you don't know you aren't going to spew BS.
That's why you are so appreciated by me anyway.

DebW,
I know how you feel! I got back form Missouri , which was adventure and a Half . Got Stranded in Dallas on Friday(after the power to the terminal went out and we had to get out of the back of the plane.) Wound up stayinng with my aunt and uncle, and flying to Saint Louis on Saturday. had mom pick me up , as they still weren't flying to Cape Girardeau. I finally got my checked luggage (with Xmas inside ) on Monday. Thankfully, Yesterday's flights were uneventful.
Now to get caught up. What's with this work thing?

mimitabby "note to self
Road bike review sounds like a place i could go to get into flame wars....

It is so much bettter HERE"

I only went there as a show of support to my cousin.

He posts there.

I issued a hall pass so he could post here on:

We'll wean him away from rbr.

Even bikejournal is way more better for a coed cycling board. The only thing rbr has going for it is they use the same format. software as TE and the format agrees with me. Easy to find stuff, navigate.

Bike journal is a better gang of folks.

Yeah, *finally* heard from the doctor, and he says the orthotics are simple and easy to fix. Got an appointment next week. Why the person who does all his orthotics casting couldn't tell me that I don't know.

[Duck on Wheels]

Knotted: GREs? Admissions? What field are you in? Just today I read a piece on a bulletin board down the hall from my office -- about a gal who wrote a dissertation about one on-line discussion forum, in fact mainly just two threads on a forum about sexualities and identities. Fascinating stuff, but later on that one. What struck me now is that it would take somebody a whole PhD-ship to get through this thread drift thread and analyze it. Any chance you'll take that on?

[Bikingmomof3]

Hmmm, the group is always so much more talkative when I am ill. Reading the past few pages has helped, thank you.

Snap-thank you for saving one of Knot's posts, otherwise I would have missed it.

Knot-for a brief, terrible moment I thought you were without coffee. That would be dreadful. Years ago, when we still had our old coffee grinder, DH had to travel to France for a conference. The next morning I got up (I am not a morning person by choice) and went directly to make coffee so I could see to take care of the boys. I could not get the grinder to work and Z looked up at me and in an ever serious little boy voice said "we are not going to need to smash all the beans with hammers are we? It will take too long and you need coffee". Needless to say I bundled all three up and drove to one of my 10 local Starbuck's.

OTG-I am glad things went well with the doctor.

X-Thanks for updating us on CWR. If you speak with her again, tell her I said no more running. She can run all she wants after her surgery. I tell you, kids these days.

Ah, back to bed. I have a fever to rid myself of before tomorrow night. The twins have a MS band concert and it would be very bad for me not to attend.

What a melancholy day I'm having. I just read that the Oregon authorities have found the body of James Kim. I started to cry. For a person I've never met, yet feel like I know - he and his family have been on the news down here for well over a week. Such a sad ending, to what at first seemed like a hopeful story. Blessings to his wife and daughters.

Yes, i saw that. How sad. They must have been on one nasty mountain pass!

[salsabike]

Oh, God, that is so sad. I was afraid that might happen but hoping it wouldn't. Ugh. How awful for them.

[crazycanuck]

Snap-what happened?? Can you post a link to a news story about it?

I feel so left out...*Sniff*

[salsabike]

Here you go, CC. It's a really sad story, really sad.

Duck - Science librarian. I'd like to work in a university or research library, medical or biological would be favorite. I've got library, zoology, and medical experience now; and "back in the day" I was thinking of that for grad school. Hoping the experience will help me. My library buddies have all said they are really hurting for science librarians with actual science backgrounds.

Life doesn't go according to plan , so now I'm trying to pick up where I left off and jump into grad school. I'm a bit intimidated by the application process! (A *lot* intimidated!) And it will be very weird to be in classes with students young enough to be my children...

I suppose analyzing TD could count as "information science." But I think it'd be more applicable to some psych PhD!

[KnottedYet]

Oh, that Kim family story is so sad. I hadn't heard anything about it.
