As for hubby, we are going through some tough stuff right now. I am foreseeing a single life for the first time in ten years.
I am sorry to hear that CH. But the train issue and about your Hubby. I hope the two of you can work things out, but if not... Don't forget that you have friends here.

Especially if you're a bicyclist.

Here's hoping things work out for the two of you.

Note to self: if you're going to spend 3 1/2 hours in direct sunlight watching baseball, it would be wise to reapply the sunblock halfway through. Oh well, at least I know my body manufactured enough vitamin D this weekend. Anybody got any aloe vera?
Moorluck, BluePigeon, I'm sorry you're both having a tough time. My condolences to both of you. (And to anyone else I missed in my quick skim through posts from the weekend.)
what does sunburn feel like?

For me, it's mostly a feeling of being overheated, until something actually touches the sunburned area, and then it feels like someone is scraping a cheese grater across my skin. That lasts for a day or two, then the damaged skin starts sloughing off revealing extra-sensitive new skin underneath. It takes another couple of days to get to a point where there's no discomfort.

On a positive note, I saw Snow White and the Huntsman yesterday. It was entertaining, but a little linear and predictable. I liked the way it subverted the passive heroine trope. And the effects were good.
I found William whats-his-title completely superfluous and Chris Hemsworth is just a flexiprop. No acting, just improves the scenery. Other than that and some odd camera choices, it was a good time filler.

After hearing that, her friend went for a walk out in the desert and has not been heard from in a few days. They are searching for her.They found Karen's friend dead in the desert. She had a siezure and had fallen and hit her head on a rock. Karen is pretty upset right now. Lucky for me, her best friend is going to pick her up and spend the day with her.
I'm sorry to hear that.. My deepest condolences.

Hahaha. I am never getting to work. The bus driver totally forgot my stop, and I am not about to make a bus full of angry Long Islanders trying to get to the city turn around just for me. (I'm the only one who needed that little local stop.) This is almost comical.
Oh no! I'd ask what else could go wrong this morning, but really don't want to jinx you.

I'm not familiar with your bus system, do they not have the little bell buttons/pull ropes that you use to signal "hey I want off at the next stop"? The ones in Phoenix did, so if there was no one at the stop and you didn't push your buzzer the driver wouldn't need to stop, though this didn't stop all the misses when the buzzer didn't ring for some reason or the driver didn't hear it/ignored it.

trains are one of the few vehicles I just plain don't mess with.

You are very perceptive. I have had a lot of time to get used to the idea, and I think the current state of things is not good for me. Anyone I lay out the situation to thinks I am too patient and should have run away long ago.

Train accidents are proof that people don't understand the difference between velocity and momentum.

It's not one of those buses. These are big coaches contracted by the railroad to get people where they're going while the trains are out.

Thanks, FHDM. Speaking of email, did you get the links I sent you?

Worry not, Treppa, I am actually quite good at absorbing electricity. Just wrap me around you pre shower and you'll be fine!
On a more serious note, I have heard of this, but I always thought of it as an urban legend.
I need a shower but it's storming and I'm phobic about showering in a storm... something about lightning strikes and ungrounded plumbing?

I'm not chancing it. I also won't talk on wired telephones. A zap through the ears might just wake my brain up. That's far too dangerous to risk.

Hi, aeglos. How's the Euro-soccer-thingy going?
It is going quite well from my perspective, already 2 real classic match pairings have taken place:
Germany - Portugal - we won, hence going wellItaly - Spain - a draw, Italy was surprising good and Spain surprisingly not that good ( they are currently World and European Champion)
in 50 minutes it is France vs England
on wedensday we will have another big classic: Germany vs Holland
surprisingly Holland has lost it's first match to Denmark, Ireland lost to Croatia
tonight Kajhase's Swedes will have their first match against Ukraine
we have a Euro Thread in the Off topics where mostl Kajehase and me talk about the tournament

Also, how is the trip planning going, aeglos? Are your hotels all booked?
going quite well
we have hotels in NY (WellingtoHotel near Carnegy Hall) Seatlle (of course) San Francisco and Forks. The days on the road we will have to take what we find because the route may change
true to the cliche about germans I have resaerched several routes and planes we could drive, I have a plan a backup plan and a plan C just in case :-)
