[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.
With soaps, they often remind you of the relevant plot points constantly, so you don't really have to follow closely or even watch every day to follow the stories.
Plus the canon is continually re-invented, so what you managed to remember from last year may (or may not--variety is the spice of life) be irrelevant today.
I watch the weather channel. Besides having all kinds of nifty weather related stories, they also have ones about the Coast Guard search and rescue folks in Alaska, one about cargo pilots in Alaska and now one about iron workers in New York. They're easy to tune out, but also easy to tune back in when they're doing something I find interesting.
My brother got released from the hospital today, and tomorrow morning he starts an outpatient rehab program. Each successive day I talk to him, he sounds better and better. His liver enzymes are rapidly dropping back to normal, so he shouldn't have any permanent physical damage.
I am so glad he's getting better and getting help.
My brother got released from the hospital todayGlad to hear it Tep! I hope that means he has jumped the big hurdle. Continued ~ma to him for continued rehab.

I got confirmation, I did win the iPad3! It's 16gb model. I haven't seen the box yet or anything. If it's unopened, do you think the Apple Store will let me swap it with a 32gb model (and pay the extra $100 of course)?
That's sweet, omnis!
In random news, I live about a block from some huuuuuge radio towers. It's always caused a crap-ton of interference in my phone lines, and my alarm clock picks it up, etc (...could be worse, what I hear is the NPR station). But today I picked up my phone to make some work calls, and....no interference. Can't hear Morning Edition at all. NO idea what changed, but this is AWESOME!!
Meara, if you have a landline (or rather non-cell line), the cables connecting the phone to the wall (or VOIP modem) can make all the difference in the world. If you have FLAT cable (which is very common for connecting phones), they will be a big radio antennae! Especially if you have the phone a long way from the jack. I suggest getting ROUND cable, as the wires inside are typically twisted, which gives a shielding to the wires, and greatly reducing the interference into your phone.
Can't help with the alarm clock interference.
But that's just it, omnis--it went away! Out of nowhere! It's perfectly fine now! Which is bizarre. But awesome.
Less awesome--I completely forgot that we had to reschedule the house cleaners to today (we have someone come once a month), and while that's not a problem in that I'm home, it IS a problem in that I have zero cash on me, and usually try to tip $20. (The actual price is charged to my credit card monthly) Is writing a check weird? It's two people--do I write two $10 checks??
Enjoy the new iPad omnis!
I have one more day in FL and I'm really looking forward to getting home. I have a flight first thing on Wednesday morning. This has been a two week trip and it's been very good getting the new show up and running, but I'm just really tired of living in a hotel room.
I think I'd write two $10 checks in that case, meara. I've done a frantic run to the ATM more than once when I didn't have cash on me on Cleaning Day. I'm glad there's one nearby!
omnis, congrats on winning the iPad!
