The party's over. Sitting at the airport waiting for our flight....

Sympathy like.

You see, I look at this from a different perspective than the rest of you: I figure I'm extending a public service by wearing shoes in public, just in case my feet STINK!

I stand by my statement of a couple days ago, you are useful and always lovely.

 

[Gabe1]

Now 1.5 days behind. Made it through a handful of alerts and back to work, tootles.

OK, I'm throwin' my 2 cents in on the whole shoe/germ thing.
When I was growin' up, our house was clean, but, not spotless. We didn't wash our hands 50 times a day, spray disinfectant all over the place, didn't have any antibacterial soap, touched our faces, etc. We weren't pigs, but, we were kids. We ran around barefoot ALL the time. We got bruised, scraped, cut. We got sick on occasion, but, not really very often. We had a blast...!
On the other hand, our next door neighbors, the Weinrich's, were germaphobes. You had to remove your shoes to enter their house, the kids were always eating some "healthy" wheat germ or somethin', and washin' up. The place was spotless. And, they seemed to be sick all the time.
Fast forward to our kiddos. They pretty much grew up like DWifey and myself did, and they have been perfectly fine.
The way I see it, you can take it to the extreme way one way or the other. If you live in slop all the time, don't be surprised if your sick a lot. But, also, If you live in a "bubble" (which is impossible in this world) and are never exposed to anything to build up somewhat of an immunity, then, expect to be sick a lot when you venture out of that "bubble".

And, my barefoot ways, they ain't NEVER a changin'...!!!

Welcome back to the cold.

 

[donaldtoo]

Thank you for the work you do.
I nearly lost my second son at birth, so I have a great appreciation for the nurses in the CCN/NICU (whatever y'all call it).

I second this!
And, our now 22 year old, formerly 1lb. 4oz. miracle boy, thanks her too...!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK, will hafta' finish catchin' up later...
Have a happy darn day...!
See y'alllllll...!!!

Couldn't hurt.

What if I wanted to hug a stupid person? it would definitively hurt me

 

[Cesar R M]

Did anyone see Carrie Fisher on Craig last night?

Weird.
And awkward.
But mostly weird.

Cant be as bad as the "live on tv Mass Effect 3 release presentation".

Double like.

I even pick food up from the floor ... long after the 5-second rule has elapsed...................
As a kid, I used to eat gum off of the sidewalk, as long as it didn't have ants on it. That's where I drew the line.

 

[Cesar R M]

You have exquisite taste. All are gorgeous and appropriate. I was thinking maybe the last one with the Parisian scene would be classy enough for the high-end clientele, who will be viewing that model room!

Id hang prints of one of the last 3 pictures myself.

concentration, and it gets washed by rains.
Also, a lot of chemicals tend to disperse naturally (evaporate or simply dissolve into more basic parts)

 

[Cesar R M]

Ha! No longer surprised. I remember another Canadian be proud of it too this summer.

no no no no no no no D:

My Nan always said, "You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die".
In that respect, I figure I'm good.

Don't be mean.

I second this!

I was going to include you in my post, but I knew you were classy enough to chime in on your own.

Best rated K-Cup coffees

5. Maxwell House House Blend

"Solid diner coffee."

4. Donut Shop Extra Bold

"A good amount of nuttiness, some sweetness."

3. Green Mountain Nantucket Blend

At first Lorenzo remarked that this was very bland, but on further sips he began to really praise it. “There’s a good level of acidity, the roast is lighter, and it tastes like it’s not a blend, there’s actually some single-origin characteristics.”

2. Eight O’Clock Colombian

"Really well-balanced, solid ‘coffee’ flavor. This would definitely crush in a consumer taste-test."

1. Green Mountain Kenyan AA

"As it’s brewing, you can smell that this is a good coffee from two feet away. It’s clearly the winner. The flavors are lively, it’s got great complexity and finish. I would actually pay for this at a coffee shop."

Then later, it was Carson and then Letterman right after that. When Johnny retired and Leno took over, I qiuckly lost interest in The Tonight Show, and only watched Letterman. Didn't take too long for me to lose interest in him either, and I have almost never watched his, or any of the other ones, since.

I enjoyed Leno. I like Fallon. Letterman...no. My dad will have on Letterman, and then he'll fall asleep about five minutes in and my mom and I will change it to Fallon.
