SNOWWWWWWWW! First good snow of the year! Well, only like 2inches, but still!
And i saw gas for $1.73. I'm a happy girl today. :)
I detest having to warm up the car =( I leave my apartment looking like an escaped convict or some sort of a PI reject, concealed beneath my hoodie and popped collar Brrrrrrrrrr!
Is there a *66 type function for cell phones or does *66 work with mobile phones??? Earlier I answered a call on my cell and when I did it started ringing, seemed a little backwards to me. Has this happened to anyone else???
TODAY I FINALLY HAD PAKISTANI FOOD DELICIOUS
is this actually just indian food? that scares me.
Great lesson for book study!!!
Certain points really resonated with me individually.
It's easy to see things in b&w even though we're aware that not all matters are. The part of the lesson that touched on TRUTH was very appropriate; how depending on the circumstances individuals might reach into that "Grey area" between the exact truth of a matter and the technicalities surrounding the truth.
Considering this specific topic one series of events in my recent past makes SO much more sense to me now than at the time. In my experience I knew that I was telling the truth, COMPLETELY, yet somehow I still struck a sour chord.
Where we considered how some employ manipulation or exclusion of the truth for their convenience...
This helped clear up SO much for me!
In my experience, if someone is dealing in a totally truthful manner things tend to be less complicated. If some issue should arise it can be solved with minimal incident (hurt feelings, severed ties etc.)==What I'm used to.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, it's interesting to note how an individual caught in a series of partial truths perhaps because they don't want to lie yet are not willing to own up to their short coming(s) might INSTEAD take a defensive and very hostile position.==What I observed.
Oh well, know I know my honesty ruffled some feathers and scratched a guilty conscience ;)
possibly the last ever episode of Pushing Daisies is on tonight at 8 on ABC
:(
any tips on sorting Watchtower and Awake podcasts so the items appear in the same order as the magazines?
nevermind I figured something out.
are you subscribed to the MP3 version of the podcast? if so, i'd recommend switching to the AAC version. it's a single file with the articles as chapters. works out much nicer.
of course, you can only play it on iPods or iTunes.
I subscribed to the MP3 version. This is for the blind sister I work for. We were trying to go CD-less because of the announcements about how much cheaper digital downloads are for the organization. I'm still trying to figure out how she will play this when I am not here. I'm looking to buy her an MP3 player that she could actually operate. It needs to have really large buttons because she lost feeling in her fingers also. Good to know about the AAC though!
Oh, ok, that's really cool of you!
Well, you can also easily use iTunes to burn the AAC to a CD. It will automatically do the tracks and split it onto two CDs. Just create a new playlist, drop the podcast in, and hit Burn.
And if you use rewritable CDs, that would be pretty cost-effective.
well, she probably won't be able to play re-writeables in the car... not that a blind sister should be driving.
lol. you're a jerk!
but, depends on the media and the cd player.
she has a car, but I do the driving. home-burned CDs won't play in there, but I think she may have a portable CD player.

What is with all the piracy going on these days!? goodness!
How was everyone's weekend? We have been aux. pioneering and focusing on service like crazy ... but we somehow still have those tracts left!! Also we had the CO this week, although he was sick so we had a sub.
How many of you are pioneering this month?
It was a bit confusing this morning for some that we weren't doing the tracts anymore. That was a fun campaign though!
this was what we saw of the fires in OC
and within minutes the sky looked like this:
Nobody laugh! I just cried through a Hallmark movie. My friend's husband was harassing me in service today about how he's forced to watch the WE network. Guess my guilty pleasure is Hallmark. Feeling a little nostalgic, so I started going through old albums and I found a picture where I was like 16! I remember thinking the baby looked like me! TAYLOR!!! I wish I could see her now, I can't believe how fast eight years flies WOW
YAY ME!
I'm eligible for a celly upgrade and it's $50 towards whatever I upgrade to =D
Any recommendations??? Right now I'm between Motorola MOTORIZR Z6tv OR Nokia 6205 The Dark Knight Edition.
Usually I'm Miss Practicality where my phone is concerned but I think I can get a little more invested this choice around ;)
I still need suggestions, things have been crazy busy and I didn't switch yet...Help Please?
HAHA! I luv when people bud into THE BUSINESS and get it ALL wrong!
To a degree I feel bad for meddlesome individuals that MUST interfere with things that they are TOTALLY or at least partially uninformed on...
It either means life has dealt them a hand they can't play or that they just are miserable people. Sometimes people that are "just trying to help" do much more damage than good. Rainy days clear the cobwebs for anyone else???
PS BRIAN!!!! AIM STAT
I'm cranky that at least two of my guy friends know dances that I don't AND they don't even really dance they're SURFERS!!!! =(
How did this happen???
I need to up my game--it's on!

Say whaaaat??? That'd be a negative...salsa y merengue Preston lol!

something tells me his tires don't last him 30,000 miles...
probably only 29,997
awesome! we need these skills, todd!
yes we do! and we'll use your wife's car to get them!
i would love to learn how to drive like that, then actually have a good place to do it, and the disposable income for 4 sets of tires, LOL
some friends of mine do it. there's drift rallies every month at old bridge raceway park. i go once in a while.
ohh that sounds fun. can you send me some info? i need special tires right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport)
i'll let you know when the next rally is.
Alex Kelly!!! Was there a lipstick stain on the collar of your shirt Saturday?!?!?!
busted!!! WHOOOHOOOO!
NOOO! ;)
AH HEM!
is it me or did chris come up with a song that went "d-d-d-dance"
because the Lady Gaga song does that and i think she stole it from chris
lol
i love this shot...this was from the other day leaving my neighborhood...
Oh WOW! I do this to when I'm driving and I see a great shot. I try to keep my camera on me for this very reason. This is beautiful!
Saw the Decemberists last night, not too shabby.
Summer and I saw them last year and couldn't believe how powerful his voice was. I did not expect to like them as much as I do.
Yeah, I could see where they could be an acquired taste.
Their first set was a little weak but overall i was pleased.
Colin has a very strong voice and a great stage presence.
They have such a varied fan base. Valerie Plame is stuck in my head lol!
they are a great band, i just have trouble listening to them after i drove five hours to boston and the lead singer was to "stressed" to do the concert.
i wanna see this. it'll be on msnbc on dec 7th. it's a gut wrenching story about a guy named zachary turner.
here's a new video... all of these so far were supposed to be part of the same episode, but we kind of lost steam while filming and have since moved onto other projects. i had written other parts and i'm disappointed they never got filmed, but i think these others work on their own though.
Matt you're a comedic genius!
"Just take yourself out and put yourself right here." That James guy cracks me up in real life anyway.I felt so bad I really wanted you to get the pants! Nice.
belt loops are supposed to line up with nips? hahaha
scuba diving, hahahaha. great job.
NO WAY that totally had me cracking up!
*was that at kohls?
haha, yeah we just walked in and started filming. we had to stop a few times cuz guys were walking into the dressing room and looking at us like, "what is going on...?"
when we were doing the part where he kicks me out a lady came up to him and said "when you have a minute can you help my husband find something?"
HAHAHA thats rad! good thing they didnt report you to security.
I feel like I'm a patient on House. I had some minor dental work yesterday and had a tremendously hard time keeping my jaw open. The dentist automatically thought TMJ due to a past serious blow to the jaw, but they ruled that out today. My right side of my body (where the jaw aches) is presenting weak in Ortho tests. And they also want to test for sleep apnea.
Isn't sleep apnea that condition where you stop breathing in your sleep???
Can mispositioning of your jaw cause sleep apnea?
Hope everything works out!
One of my friends just told me they thought I had died this one night because they rolled over and saw that I'd stopped breathing =(
YIKES
yea that's what sleep apnea is and it obviously can be a cause of death. Although I don't understand how it could be related to my jaw issues. I'm going to discuss this with mom tonight since she's a nurse.
Anyone familiar with MS Outlook is probably aware of the actions menu, from there you can recall, recall AND delete, or recall amend and resend messages. Pretty sure that sent messages can be opened and display whether they've been viewed/opened as well.
I was curious as to whether any webmail services offer capabilities similar to those of Outlook? For work related correspondences @ home I use gmail then hotmail as a secondary. Wondering if gmail has a sent receipt function...anyone know???
Thaks!
i swear you want to be a spy
Well I swear that you're suspicions are completely unfounded .
'your'
Yo Adam are you online? How are your teeth feeling?
when I was little, I used to salt slugs and watch them die. Not among my proudest moments. Clearly I've changed because I just accidentally stepped on a preying mantis and I feel so bad. I don't think the little guy's gonna make it. :(
I salted a slug not too long ago.
Awww Fresty =(
It's okay, you didn't mean to.
**BIGGEST HUGS EVER**
it's a good thing killing them isn't illegal: http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/mantis2.asp
I totally thought it was!
yeah i had heard that too...
turns out the mantis somehow got inside the house and two of our cats were "playing" with it. mom had put it outside, but it was already injured to the point that it couldn't move. after that, I stepped on it and sent it further down the road to death. some wild turkey is going to have a feast.
MANDIE- Can you believe this was already well over a year ago!
When are you coming to NJ. I Miss you!
HELP!!!!!!!!!
THERE's A DRESS, THERE'S A WEDDING, TOO MANY CHOICES...
One of my closest girlfriends is getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. First of all and most obviously, I'm TOTALLY STOKED!!!!
The unique twist to things is that my friend said the girls can pick our own dresses, so that they're reflective of our individual style.
The only criteria thus far is that it has to be teal. I HAVE NO CLUE!
I don't want to end up in a fancy potato sack! HELP!
http://www.gojane.com/28277.html
This is sort of cute-ish but only "ISH"
you should write for Seventeen magazine.
You're such a card BV...Anywayze
My friend liked this one which I choose, in teal.
The 2 hour Season premiere of Lost is Wednesday January 21rst. I'm glad it's back to Wednesdays. Now Pushing Daisies leads into Lost. Perfect.
so pushing hasn't been cancelled yet? :( it better not be hehe

SQUEEL!!!!

My nose, toes, and legs are TOTALLY FROZEN!
I'm gonna cook a huge dinner and then bake cookies too keep the apartment toasty...even though tonight I wasn't in the mood to cook =(
I danced my legs off last night and then today in service I walked them off haha Livy has NO legs!
ok so this brought back SO many memories for me, when i was in Jr High we would go dancing and hang out at this place called Studio K and CLoud 9 inside of Knotts Berry Farm (amusement park) *you guys will crack up on the hairdo's
where's redsweater been since last night? out partying with it's friends, probably. spilling apple-tini's on itself.
i want to try a cherry cosmo or a grapetini. actually i need one right now.
awww sad face. michael crichton died.
Yeah, bummer. I've read every single one of his books before Prey.
I just drove an hour to get my eyebrows threaded. On the upside, gas is down to $1.93.
Lauren is certified in this, and can help you, but we live much too far. sorry.
good to know though! I will send referals for sure.
Question
When the laptop is only working form the battery the screen is very dim. how do i change that. I can't find it.
When its plugged it it's bright i just need to know where they setting is to adjust it when its working off the battery
under "power" settings. choose which profile you want - you most likely want "high power" or "max power" or something like that. alternatively you can just raise the brightness on the screen.
yeah i went there but changing the profile didn't help. i guess I will have to manually try brightening the screen.
I just invented a shrimp scampi bowl! SOOOOO GOOD!
i'll take one with some chopsticks and some dumplings, thanks
sushi time
FISH ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD!!!!
Ian should post a picture of himself eating fish.

BOOOO! Although Survivor Red Sweater Island does have a certain ring to it...GINA WE'RE IN AN ALLIANCE!
If anything ever happens to me, I just want it documented somewhere that the tenant below me is responsible.
Most of us within our respective neighborhoods/dwellings are pleasant, considerate, and definitely non confrontational. As a single woman of a small stature I am all the more so introverted at home: low volume TV viewing/video gaming/music playing, my guests maintain a respectful noise level at all times, and my home happens to be a shoes off dwelling for comfort and cleanliness.
WHY DO I OF ALL PEOPLE HAVE A PSYCHO VECINO????
**UPDATE**
Shaking or violently vibrating apartment, furniture crashing from 12-3am, um how to put this....growling. So yeah, last night was a hoot, only NOT.
=(
GINA! haha Hi! you can 'bother' me any time. lol.
Ok guys I'm taking the afternoon off to go to the doctor. Enjoy without me!
So begins the 4 month silence of no baseball... The most depressing time of year.
FINALLY!!! baseball bites!
Oh, I forgot. Your favorite sport is getting a tan.
besides that....hockey, football, basketball. DUH

Don't ever ask for a spot bench pressing. The bar might slip out of my hands.
besides the fact that you wont be at the gym fatty! lol
