From the article GC linked to:
However, why individuals help strangers in these electronic networks is not well understood: there is no immediate benefit to the contributor, and free-riders are able to acquire the same knowledge as everyone else.
Dudes, what you mean, no immediate benefit? Explaining things makes me feel important. The chance to feel important is a pretty dang good benefit, IMO.
BT's crazy bean card game
You mean awesome bean card game.
Awesomely crazy, yes.
Laga & Omnis, I suspect you're both working, but you're welcome to join us too if not.
I just got done with a fantabulous lunch/shopping outing for my sister's birthday. I might need a nap. What time are people planning to arrive?
Probably just for a few hours this evening. 7-10ish before I get pathetic and crash.
nevermind the text I just set you. Yeah I think I could swing that.
Well, not only did he not try to take it off, he really liked wearing it. So much so that he doesn't like it when S tried to take the tie off of him, and when he wasn't wearing it for a day, he pawed at the bowtie on the table, and then stared at S until she put it back on him.
Our cat likes to wear bowties. And when he wears them, he gets a look on his face like "I am an important cat. I must be an important cat, because I have a bowtie. See?"
This is my most favorite piece of information from today. I look forward to pictures.
Yes, Sean. Pictures, please.
I just dropped a platter on my foot. A heavy glass cake platter. OMG, OUCH. I have too much to do to sit and ice my foot. Did I mention OUCH??? I wish I could get the boys to help, but, well, not so much with the helping and K-Bug is off for her Senior Banquet.
ooh I'm a bad snake sitter. The only think Dennis asked me to do was make sure she had water & she's almost out. Of course when he's home her bowl is empty a lot of the time so I probably should't fret.
Suzi, you should try not to do that.
Hey, is there anything you want me to bring tomorrow? In theory, I'm going to TJs tomorrow morning, so I can grab any last minute things you need.
