This is why my husband's vision can ONLY be corrected with hard lenses - he needs them to push his eyes into the right shape and that can't be done with soft lenses (or glasses obviously.) Of course he has a weird-ass condition but the idea is the same.

Well, I looked it up because I wondering wtf was up with "Gandolf." According to wikipedia:

Yes, exactly this. I could get by without the ePub support (that's what Calibre is for) and the expandable storage, well, as long as there's more than the 250mb the Nook allows for side-loaded content, I would be happy. But I really, really, really like having both forward and back page turn buttons on both sides of…

Vote: Uniball Jetstream.

I was at a backyard wedding a few weeks ago where my husband's cousin was playing beer pong with us while his 12-year old daughter watched rather closely. I really wonder how that girl's going to turn out.

I can't even manipulate my own boobs to look like that while I'm wearing a bra, and don't think I wasn't terrified someone was going to walk past my open office door while I was trying.

I have a pair of boobs myself, so I do kinda know what I'm talking about. Mine are somewhat on the large side, but they have NEVER looked that different while I was standing up wearing just a bra. This isn't just angles and twisting, it's clear photoshop.

As a former receptionist, I was asked constantly about my impression of various candidates, and I was happy to give feedback. "She seemed bored and totally disinterested until the manager met her in the lobby." "He got here 20 minutes early but spent that time on his cell phone badmouthing his current job and setting…

Yeah, I have some teacher friends that will use an abbreviated version of their name on their personal page, but most of them it's still obvious who they are to their actual friends. The smart ones also have a fan page/public page where they communicate with their students & the parents, and they make an effort to…

*Enjoying* sex might be a sin, but that's another story :)

Sex isn't a sin unless it's pre- or extra-marital (how else would any good Catholic have children if it were otherwise?) Jesus having relations with his own wife wouldn't be a problem at all.

Well, as others said, that's not true at all. But a lot of security/alarm panels will have panic codes that silence the alarm but still call the cops/monitoring center. The panic code at my last job was the easy-to-remember 2580.

Personally I would think having several aides managing your schedule down to the minute would probably be the biggest productivity booster.

A cousin is currently doing PhD research on social fitness, and wears both the Nike Fuelband and the Fitbit at all times. But when he and I were chatting about it at a wedding a couple weekends ago, we both realized we had left our Fitbits on our other clothes when we changed. (Him on his pants, me on my bra.) He had…

I've known for a long time that I have a high, high risk of macular degeneration. It tends to run on the maternal side of the family, and well - my great-grandmother's blindness was almost certainly from it; my grandmother was blind for the last 20 years of her life from it; 2 of her sisters had it. My mother at age…

For a while my boss had a bug with his iPhone where it would show he had one more email in his box than he actually had. If he had 2, it displayed 3. If he had 10, it displayed 11. But if he had zero new emails in his box, the phone would display 1,340,000,000. Yes, with all those zeroes. It was hilarious.

Was discussing this with my husband yesterday. He mentioned that Apple's shipping information tends to be a lot more detailed and reliable than AT&T's, which is why we'll be ordering directly from Apple.

Yeah. That is *ridiculous*. I really hope some 3rd parties come out with their own versions and SOON, because they have to be cheaper than that, and probably shorter, too.

$29 for the adapter. HIGH. WAY. ROBBERY.

Well, you provide your own mattress, so that's totally up to you if it's comfortable. It's probably the same as any other platform-style bed in terms of supportiveness under the mattress.
