'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You're not even medically interesting? That's some kind of bullshit.
You know when someone draws out the word "interesting" but you can tell they're hoping you'll have left by the time they're done? That's the sort of interesting I am.
I think I lost one of tonight's pills. I'm pretty sure I didn't take the anti-Alzheimers one, which'd be funny, except not.
My god I can't wait to be on vacation. I need it. I don't want to leave folks here, but I need it.

Hmph.
I just read an article somewhere on alzheimers maybe being a form of diabetes (numero 3.) As some close family friends have been fighting early onset, well, yeah. I asked my brother to give me the scoop.
Dad sent out an email commemorating Sputnik. He recieved the signal himself, and broadcast it to the 'hood. That's kinda cool, you know?
I had vertigo when I had Franny. It was so weird, took me 3 weeks to figure out I had it. I was so out of it, and I kept saying to DH "It sounds like everyone is talking underwater" and he agreed with me, so it took a while before I realized that it was actually a symptom.
That is pretty cool, sarameg.
Okay I just got DH to take the kids to a neighbor's house so I could finish the damn grading. I WILL finish damnit.
Well, Emily, I'm glad you went in. I'm glad it's just a cold, and sorry that you had to go through all the medical hassle just to find it out.
My dad is a bigger geek than I will ever be. Last I checked (15 years ago) the local natural sciences museum still had the 3d moon model he built in high school.
That's really cool, Sara. More the Sputnik than the moon model. Heh.
me too, sarameg, me too.
The first picture taken from space
In 1946, taken at an altitude of 65 miles from a camera in a V-2 rocket.
Fred Rulli was a 19-year-old enlisted man assigned to the recovery team that drove into the desert to retrieve film from those early V-2 shots. When the scientists found the cassette in good shape, he recalls, "They were ecstatic, they were jumping up and down like kids." Later, back at the launch site, "when they first projected [the photos] onto the screen, the scientists just went nuts."
