Yes! I had a weekend once where I was working all weekend, fri-sun, then had a meeting sunday night. In between I had a bunch of social plans. Probably drank a half dozen coffees, an entire case of diet mt dew, and a four pack of red bull in 30 hours or so...partway through the meeting i couldn’t feel my face or…

In defense of the imperials, they appeared to be the only people in the galaxy who showered regularly. I always joke that you can immediately tell rebel vs imperial because only one of them looks like he’s met a shower recently.

I had one of those as a rental while my car was in the shop. If I pushed it above 60 it made a very frightening vibration, like the whole thing might just disintegrate around me.

Spirit Air from San Salvador Island in the Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale. We had been at the Club Med through a specialty travel company, where they booked the whole Club Med for the week, so by the time we were boarding everyone was friendly with everyone else. Just a bit of background.

Oh god, does this mean the answer really is Scientology? If astronomy confirms Xenu next we are screwed.

Amen! My handwriting often looks like I tried to write while holding the pen in my nostrils. Attaching a keyboard to my palm pilot in 2001 completely changed college for the better for me, as I could actually read my notes!

Which my son would have watched over and over, because something about Mater makes small boys lose their damn minds.

What is up with Toyota and Honda? Toyota seems intent on making cars that look like the concept art from a 1950's pulp Sci Fi story, while Honda is enamored of bubbles on wheels...either way, both are eye searingly ugly. (I have a long commute and spend a lot of time on the highway, so I spend a lot of time thinking…

LG’s problem was that they made the modular concept so damn complicated. I think Moto’s is much better (I have a Z Force), in that I don’t need to take apart my phone or reboot to use a mod. Anytime you get into “well, you turn the phone off, pop the bottom out...” the average person’s eyes glaze over. But hand them a…

They killed her off between seasons. Season 3 ended with Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Prue (Shannen Doherty) both injured/smooshed by the windows and wall in a demon attack. Presumably S4 would have picked up with them being rescued, but instead they revealed that Leo, Piper’s husband/whitelighter, healed Piper but…

I try to aim for a slightly lighter day. Like this week: yesterday I did 10x10 kettlebell swings with a 5olb weight (50 swings per hand), and since I knew grip and forearms were a bit tender I dropped down to 35lbs today as an “easier” day, then tomorrow plan to go back up to 50 again.

You can’t do allergy shots for food allergies. You can do oral immunotherapy, but that’s a long process and sometimes results in you being fine as long as you stay on the therapy but immediately backsliding into allergy territory if you stop.

Exactly. My kid rolls in dirt, plays on the dog’s bed, and will happily try every food you put in front of him, and he has been that way since he started on solids.

My son has multiple allergies, including peanuts, and he is doing this therapy. He eats the equivalent of 2.5tsp of peanuts per day, and that basically innoculates him against risks from accidental exposure.

I hate the CR-V. It’s completely shallow, but I think they’ve been getting progressively fatter and uglier over the years. I especially hate the model years with the bulge-y back end, since it makes the damn thing look like it might give birth to a Honda Fit at any moment.

Not normally. But the poor car has had awful luck in the past year. Hit a pothole that did $2,500 worth of damage to the front tires and axle, then my wife backed into a pickup truck for another $2,200...I just fear my insurance company is just going to throw up their hands in frustration before the Carfax gets longer…

Mine is to make it all the way through 2017 before I need to replace my Prius. 150,000 miles or bust! (Oh god please don’t bust)

While they aren’t perfect, CAP kettlebells are reasonably priced on amazon, often with free prime.

More importantly, is this a real quote:

I liked Underground Airlines...it was one of those books where I finished it and wanted more from the same universe. I think Whitehead did a phenomenal job at shaping not only the story itself but a fully formed and scarily realistic world.
