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.

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

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.

RE: The Mouse discussion.

I'm a devotee of the big Kensington trackballs. I've been using them for...yikes decades at this point. I'm also a mechanical keyboard nut.

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

You are mighty and powerful beyond compare, my queen.

This is not a ringing endorsement.

It *tastes* fine; I'm just not able to get anything down that's room temp or below. It could be Dom Perignon and I'd feel the knives.

Happily, that fades after a couple of days. After the first dose I was craving Diet Coke and root beer so much I was hallucinating about them, and finally someone said, "It's not permanent. By week two you should be fine." But for right now, knives all the way, baby.

Well, that's a bitch of a side effect. Glad it's only temporary, because hot Dom Perignon is nasty.

Hot Dr Pepper, especially with lemon and/or orange slices, is actually pretty good.

That’s a sucky side effect!!

I do agree that Core Power is pretty good as protein shakes go. It’s from the Fairlife milk company—they also have some Fairlife brand shakes that I got at Costco once that basically just taste like milk? Those aren’t as easy to find though.
