Since most ideas come to me while I'm sitting on the toilet, I've started writing stuff on the shower glass doors (within easy reach from the toilet seat). :D

Heh, well, it was Friday night, and I wasn't dying. Since the bleeding was more or less under control, I got pushed further down the line, too.

yeah, really eh? now it's a constant reminder, "Mitt, not mouth!"

yeah.. I got that occasionally, some people who didn't know what softball is said that, too. I lost 2½ teeth (had to get a root canal on one, it was completely sheared off) and had huge gashes on the inside and outside of my upper lip.

Yeah, that one time I got beaned in the grill at a softball game on Friday evening. Arrived at the ER at 7pm, got treated at midnight. Let me tell you, if I could've picked any other day and any other time to get beaned at my game, I would've done it.

@SBM_from_LA: I think it's easier to eat healthily (?) afford-ably when you're cooking at home. The mark-up on "healthier" (I still find this questionable) produce and raw materials is much lower than that on "healthy" restaurant food.

@onenotesam: what? because everybody lives in the US?

@Ad-absurdum: My pet-peeve: when people on the internet assume everybody else on the internet lives in the US.

People who obtain an apple product and start calling themselves "geeks". Actually, people who call themselves "geeks". Listen, it was an uncool niche in the 80's, and then it slowly got nichey-cool (which everntually just becomes douchey) in the late 90's. Now? You think you're geek-cool because you have a gadget? zzz.

@mike_311: I'm sure some people would argue that the point of all this technology is to relieve us from the burden of having to .. oh, you know, do the heavy lifting ourselves.

@Green Man: have heard good things about the Acer Timeline X series. There's one that's about $500 and really decent specs for the price.

I've also disabled "show photos tagged with me".

@JohnnyLongarms: I'm curious. Without the base education of your 4-year degree, would you have been able to learn and understand what you were being taught and trained for in those 2 months?

@Mad_Hatter00: It might help you learn how to spell and communicate effectively, for one.

The smartest people I know don't tend to make broad, sweeping statements like "college is a waste of time".

@Stunspot: uh, exercise: you're doing it wrong?

this should read as advice to sellers everywhere - don't sell your stuff to the first few lowballers.

Cooking spray: no dishwasher? Spray over the sink.

@jsprag: old phonebooks!

Friend of mine did this with a stack of newspapers. Sealed it with clear tape. It was oddly attractive, but heavy as hell.
