It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

What did Alibelle suggest? Some kind of Ensure? That sucks. I hope it’s going better today.

I had realized I was scrolling with my middle finger on the mouse scroll wheel too much. So figured out how to order a new mouse from our portal….which the only ergonomic option was like $130? And oops got it and it’s not really what I need but also the company software blocks the mouse software so I can’t even set it up? Argh. May go buy my own dang mouse but they’re ridiculous expensive to find one with a thumb scroll wheel because it’s for designers and gamers. Doesn’t anyone else not have a buff middle finger? Lol

As I was reading this, I realized I was scrolling with the mouse wheel using my index finger, not the middle.

Lol yeah I need to work on that part too, Tom. I tried using my left hand (I am left handed) but that sucks because then I can’t mouse with one hand and write things down simultaneously with the other

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yep. It's called Core Power.

Flavor wise, and in order:

Core Power
Boost
Muscle Milk
Ensure (she found this yucky)

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Core Power is an awesome name. It feels like the kind of phrase He-Man would shout before downing it in one huge gulp.

I'm going to insist that JZ does this before she quaffs her protein shake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As I was reading this, I realized I was scrolling with the mouse wheel using my index finger, not the middle.

Yeah, that's what I do, but that's the kind of muscle memory thing that would be so hard to change! I just tried with my middle finger, and nope.

Agreed!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yes, index finger.

I think I might be done with productive work for the day. Kinda just don’t wanna

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Isn't Core Power a yoga chain?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sadness: Shouted CORE POWER!, lacked necessary hand strength to open bottle. Now waiting like a chump for Hec to come home.

eta: Second time worked--clearly it's a two-shout job. However, the drink is just cool enough that I feel like I have knives in the back of my throat when I swallow, so I'll still wait for Hec to come back so he can heat it up a bit.
