Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Punishingly Intricate

I think I parked too close to the car (a Lexus) next to me in the parking lot. But I am the one w/in the lines. The other car is over the line. But it's making me kind of anxious. On the other hand, I'm wearing a boot thing for my ankle and it's a hassle to get around and I'd have to take it off to move my car.

That's what's going on in my brain right now! You are welcome.

My sister was still at work at 11 PM last night. Why does it matter to me? Because it means I didn't go running this morning, since she wasn't waiting for me at 5:50AM today.

Oh, the dangers of peer-pressure-driven exercise schedules.

I solemnly promise to take the dog for a long walk tonight.

Harold Camping says May 21, 2011 was ‘invisible judgment day,’ world will end October 21, 2011

Radio evangelist Harold Camping said in a special broadcast Monday night on his radio program Open Forum that his predicted May 21, 2011 Rapture was “an invisible judgment day“ that he has come to understand as a spiritual, rather than physical event.

“We had all of our dates correct,” Camping insisted, clarifying that he now understands that Christ’s May 21 arrival was “a spiritual coming” ushering in the last five months before the final judgment and destruction.

In an hour and a half broadcast, Camping walked listeners through his numerological timeline, insisting that his teaching has not changed and that the world will still end on October 21, 2011.

“It wont be spiritual on October 21st,” Camping said, adding, “the world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick.”

Camping had previously pointed to October 21 as the last day on earth for all humanity.

His former assertion was that a faithful three percent would be physically pulled into heaven by God through the Rapture on May 21, to be followed by a five month period of great suffering known as the Tribulation, ending, finally, on October 21. On Monday’s broadcast, Camping speculated that perhaps a merciful God decided to spare humanity five months of “hell on earth.”

So they can take all their thousands of billboards across the world and just cross out "May" and write "Oct." above it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Give Camping points for creativity, if nothing else.

not your mom's socks.

I just got super-awesome news from my sister about her work, but I'm forbidden to say anything for a while. But still, squee! good news!

And HKF got a chapter book in the mail from my MiL. She's been reading for a while, and will trade pages of whatever we're reading together (Narnia, atm), but when I suggested she might be able to read this on her own and could ask me for help with tough words (it's a thinner book than Narnia, with slightly larger print, but still a big-person chapter book), she sat down on the floor in the hallway and started reading. 45 minutes later, she was still reading. She finished the book this morning. Her first full book on her own. I'm all choked up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Cat 5 ‘O Nine Tails Ethernet Cable Whip

Yes, you are looking at a flogger crafted from cat-5 wiring. (Internet cable, in other words.) It sports a D-ring for easy hanging. This will satisfy your inner – or outer! – geek for sure. :) Each tip is firmly wired in place, crimped, and booted. Packs quite a sting, and will leave such distinct marks! This baby is bound to make your sub /beg.
