Is it too late to find a nice mountain top and become a hermit?They got wifi on mountain tops now?

Just when I think I'm getting used to sleeping for 2 hours at a time, I have a night like last night, where every time the baby alarm goes off, I feel like I haven't slept at all.

Yes, they have WiFi on mountain tops now. I had spectacular coverage from the top of Nevada Falls.

I have finally started to tackle the biggest problem in the house... the spare bedroom. For the past few (like 5) years it has become the dumping place for the rest of the house. I have already removed 3 large bags of trash and added a few things to the growing yard sale pile. The Boy will be so pleased when he gets home. This is the crafts room, and he has to hunt for anything he needs, and climb over stuff to reach the desk.

[alphabassettgrrl]

So the car passed smog today. I mean, I know the maintenance is kept up, and I know she's in good shape, but there's always that little bit of doubt.... but we passed. So we're good for two years. :)

[Mousey Girl]

I just found my original Game Boy, complete with 2 rechargable battery packs (Boy is looking for games).

I also found all of my customer service accomodations from SBC.

I do believe I found all of my missing lighters, one in every purse I opened.

It is amazing what that room has held for all of these years.

[alphabassettgrrl]

My mom fell this morning and broke her leg. She split the fibula- anyone know how that could happen? I'd never heard of a lengthwise break.

Good thing my brother is close and can take her to the hospital tomorrow for surgery.

[Gemini Cricket]

Ugh. That sounds so painful. Yikes.
Speedy recovery for your mom.

[BarTopDancer]

Ouch! That sounds painful. Does she have osteoporosis?


MG - good job! I always find a good purging to be cleansing.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Thanks. I don't think she's particularly bone-deficient, other than being 62. She fell on the ice this morning.

[Stan4dSteph]

We've had almost a foot of snow since yesterday and it's still falling. I got halfway to work and got the news that there is no power at work, so I'm back working at home today. Thankfully my power is still fine (knock wood).

I hate the "Insert" key.

Hate it, hate it, hate it.

I know there are ways to disable it permanently (http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-the-Insert-Key-in-Windows) for the computer (besides just removing the physical key) or to disable it in individual programs (like Word (http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1069/word-disable-the-insert-key-to-permanently-turn-off-overtype-mode/)). But I have to ask: what is the function of the "overwrite" capability? Is this some remnant from the days of DOS or something?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

It's mostly a holdover, yes.
Some programs, especially games with a lot of command options, utilize it for other purposes.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Overwrite is a necessity in the software my library uses (new as of 2004). It's lame that it's necessary, but it is.

So....how was my week? Well, from spending last Saturday night in the ER from pain through yesterday's root canal -- pretty crappy, actually. I've been mostly out of my head on pain pills all week to cope.

On the plus side, I apparently astounded the endodontist with the amount of pus that spewed forth from my tooth.

so, what have I missed?

[MouseWife]

OMG Prudence!!! That sounds horrible!! I've had tooth pain but I've never been to the ER for it! OMG

Are you properly medicated now?

So, I'm the only one at LoT at the moment. That's right: 1 member and 0 guests.

I'm hitting the vending machines in the LoT lobby. Picture it: That antique broad 3894. Mouth jammed full of a 3 Musketeers bar she jimmied from the candy machine. Making bucket after bucket of ice from the LoT ice dispenser to see how long it takes before it runs out.

Ah, the good life.

I'll be the first to admit my handwriting isn't the easiest to read. However, sometimes trying to interpret Bill's can be a surreal experience.

I went to the grocery store this afternoon. Bill had put some items on the list. While "dishmashing peter" wasn't difficult to decode, "prewar p-nub" and "baled palates" took some head scratching before I could figure them out.

Chris' on-again, off-again business trip to Palm Springs is on again, so he's gone until Friday. I will probably revert to my vampire sleep patterns again while he gone.

Oh, thinking of work trips, Chicago is (temporarily, I'm sure) back on... again. I don't know how I feel about that. I'd rather not go if it's just going to be back and forth.

Don't toy with my emotions!!

Sooooooooo ... I've been away a while, and decided to come back in true Roger Rabbit style - i.e., only when it was funny.

But I'm a bit nervous that my boss won't say in public who is going this year though she already told me I would be going.

It was not a good episode (even in the context of the bad episodes of late), and they under utilitized Galifianakis, but it was still worth waiting up for if only because his monologue was great, and the last sketch was nutty. On top of that, Zach actually shaved his beard for the last sketch, and then came out for the credits wearing a (very convincing) fake beard. Gotta admire that dedication to the craft.

I watched the last half of that as well. I haven't watched SNL in ages and now I know why. It was quite dull for the most part. I had no idea who the host was and, even after an IMDB search, wasn't more enlightened. Vampire Weekend was equally dull.

I agree that the last sketch was amusing. The consultant who was a guest on the show amused me because one of my dog world friends is a well-known pageant consultant so it was fun to see a parody.

It burned down this morning, and the elderly couple (who we just found out really were recluses as well as hoarders) died.

Facebook is creeping me out. They say they don't keep your email address or access to your address book if you "add via email" but someone who I just started emailing with just showed up as a friend suggestion. We have no mutual friends and I haven't done an "add via email" search in months. So they have to somehow still have access to your address book.

I just found this (http://www.facebook.com/contact_importer/remove_uploads.php)

We will not store your password after we import your friends' information.

We may use the email addresses you upload through this importer to help you connect with friends, including using this information to generate Suggestions for you and your contacts on Facebook. If you don't want us to store this information, visit this page.

So I can't tell if that means they will keep accessing your data even though they aren't saving your password or if they just suggest based upon addresses already searched upon as they join.

We have a little fun now and again at work. Sometimes turning up the music in the morning a little too loud and sing loudly to it. Not for long but enough to put a smile on your face.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I woke up this morning and noticed a bruise the size of my palm on my inner left leg, just above the knee. I don't remember hitting or injuring myself in any way. Am I abusing myself while I sleep? If so, why is a blow hard enough to make a bruise this big not waking me up?

WTF...?

Sounds like an alien abduction to me.

On a more alarmist front, they can be a sign of blood clots or onset of diabetes.

Maybe you got up in the middle of the night and ran into something?!Possible, but improbable. I have never sleepwalked before and since it's on the inside of my leg, even if I was sleepwalking, I can't imagine how it could hit me there.

I'm just gonna chalk it up to my invisible boyfriend accidentally whacking me with his arm during a dream. ;)

[Betty]

The hair is rockin!

[Moonliner]

Very hot.

With hair like that I'm guessing she's looking to upgrade soon.

[BarTopDancer]

I was in Los Olivos looking for dino-sharks.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Attended a debate today at CalTech between atheists Michael Shermer and Sam Harris, vs believers Deepak Chopra and Jean Houston on the future of god. Deepak was the only one I'd even heard of, but I figured go see what they have to say. Turns out Sam Harris is very funny, a good speaker, was very focused, and respectful of the other side.

Deepak was kind of peeved from the start, and seems doesn't do well in an arena where he has to defend himself. He was asked to come up with reasons for belief, and I think the reality is that belief is something that can't be taught, only experienced. But he wouldn't say that... he kept trying to use quantum physics somehow to justify belief and it wasn't working. And he refused to give a direct answer to anything.

And I had a shift at work tonight, loading out Drowsy Chaperone. Their record fastest load-out time was two hours and twenty minutes. Tonight's time: 2:09. Yay us!

So now I'm home and I have beer and I will have a warm bed to crawl into. The craziness starts again in the morning.

So husband mentions last night that he'd like to go see Yosemite.

Cool! So now I'm researching hotels and trails. Doesn't look like we can kayak in the park, so only hiking and picture taking. We'll see.

No kayaking but you can rent an inter-tube and float down the Merced.

I was just kidding about the tubing the Merced in April/May. I think the water temp is about 4,000 degrees below zero that time of year (give or take a few degrees).

I just had a conversation with someone and the response to my question, 'How was your weekend?' sounded something like this:

So like this weekend okay I went to a concert at the waterfront and like it was pretty fun. This guy was all 'Hi' and all that and was like blah blah blah and was all totally nice and like asked me what my name was. I told him and he was like all ya la la and we hung out and watched the lead singer from UB40 sing and stuff. So, I was like all oh my god because he wanted to take me to the VIP section and so we like went over there and you know and so I didn't have a wrist band and so the big bodyguard was all blah blah blah. So, then we like got in, but we all totally didn't like feel like we fit in. So we like left and didn't come back. So, he just texted me and we're going to like go out or something tonight but his sister was like all he doesn't know how to you know drive.

I love that! I totally understood what she was talking about. But it did make me super aware of using "like" and "all" and "yadda yadda" etc. I found it fascinating.

[BarTopDancer]

Awww. His is pretty and he built it. No mullet.

It looks like one of them says God hates Jews. I suppose they should re-read their Bible. Unless God ordered Jesus to be crucified because he was Jewish.

If you hit "backspace" it will pull up your original new posts query.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I'll try it next time I time out. Normally that's how I read the new posts: search for new posts, click the "first new post in thread" button, read, hit backspace, and on to the next thread. When it times out it lists the threads, but I don't get the "first new post in thread" button. Normally I am careful not to let it time out but I read the big thread first which was a mistake and I should have known it. :)

[Kevy Baby]

...search for new posts, click the "first new post in thread" button, read, hit backspace, and on to the next thread.I always right click on the "first new post in thread" to open in a new window (or new tab if your browser supports it and that's what you want), closing that window once I've read that thread. That way, I don't lose the original search and it is easier to find.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I've done that, too, but this time there were a *lot* of threads and I thought I'd be ok going back and forth.

We just finished a late dinner cooked using the electric oven, gas stove and microwave. Cleaned up, loaded and currently running both dishwashers, sat down to watch a couple of minuets of TV on the Big Screen HD Goodness which went to commercial so I left it on while I came to the home office turned on both monitors for a quick Internet check only to find out there are 4min left in "Earth Hou (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/earth-hour-starts-at-8-30pm-tonight-asks-for-sixty-minutes-of-n/)r".

[Alex]

I don't do Earth Hour because I think it's stupid so if I were vital to your hopes for penitence, Moonliner, my apologies.

But my office building announced that they'd be observing it so there's that. Of course, they'll be turning off the lights when 95% of them would have been off anyway but it's the thought that counts and we'll ignore the server rooms that are always on even when no person is within three floors of a computer connected to them. And let's not mention the AdverTVs in the elevators that personal experience shows are also always on even when the motion sensitive elevator lights have turned off. Or the fact that we've turned every toilet, urinal, faucet, and soap dispenser in the building into a continuous electricity sucking device.

I promise not to threadpoop in the actual Earth Hour thread.

In terms of power saved during the hour, It's pretty much meaningless but as a way to raise awareness of the larger issue of conservation, it's kinda catchy.
