[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

-t, I think I will do health(ier) food first, as long as I can wrap stuff up and get out of my office before all the stores close!

Also, I just looked at my schedule for tomorrow and I can fit in another swim this week! Unless I choose to do a run instead. Or in addition to. Haven't figured it out yet.

I don't know what kind of pod person has taken over my body. It's a little scary for me to be planning out my workouts. It's good, but quite odd.

Thanks, -t and P-C. Misery does indeed love company. Dammit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

For me , it was backing into a chain - that I had looked behind my car before I got in, but still didn't see the big chain across the end of the parking lot..... scratches, but annoying and stupid feeling just the same.

d, I have been spending a lot of time going thru flickr and trying all of its various components. Our library is doing a voluntary program called learning 2.0 which is all about web 2.0. So far this means blogs, flickr and this week RSS and bloglines. The most interesting thing about this whole process is that in real life I'd never try to understand everything that can happen with all this tech in one go, I would do what you did - discover. This is putting my brain through some major twists.

Our wings are not tired.

My Forester has dings and gashes and scrapes all over it and I have no idear how any of 'em got there. Kristin, your little Prius is so cute that I think it can withstand the blemish. You could glue a bandaid to it!

Note to self, don't park the new car near javachik's forester.

Sorry about the car dings K, seems like that truck is just destined to damage smaller cars and not come out harmed.

move out and draw fire

but I hate the idea of driving around with it looking screwed up

Oh man, you should see the Passat post-Athens. Sometimes I get vaguely embarrassed, because this many dings in America means you can't drive, but currently saving for a house is taking $$ priority.

Still, sorry about Wounded!Car.

Not javachik

Mine too. I figure: a car is a tool, not a decoration.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

For me , it was backing into a chain - that I had looked behind my car before I got in, but still didn't see the big chain across the end of the parking lot..... scratches, but annoying and stupid feeling just the same.

Mine was a pole. Coupla days after last Xmas, trying to find parking in the Mission Valley Mall parking structure. Space was narrow, I cut the turn too tight and gave my Ranger some lovely scrapes down the passenger side. I had the body shop next door give me an estimate, but I just don't hate the scrapes $1800 worth. And I have a very graphic reminder of why I Never Park Next to the Poles at Mission Valley.

Plus, it was the first time in a long while I was glad there's no SO in my life. I did a crap driving thing, I feel a little dumb, but I didn't hurt anyone or damage anything that doesn't belong to me - and since there's no SO who knew the truck pre-pole, I don't have to hear about it. Heh.

IOW, try not to beat yourself up Kristin. Apparently, we've all been there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, I'm so sorry my tone came across as snarky. The "to me" was meant as a way to acknowledge that others might feel differently, not to diminish the validity of those feelings.
No worries, Kristin. It didn't feel too snarky to me. Just a difference in how we read the posts in question. It happens when you are just seeing words on a screen. Or, at least, when I am.

No real harm, no foul at all.

Sorry about your car.
