I was stationed on Ike with a guy who's parents owned a restaurant. We had one of those humongous restaurant coffee pots in the #2 plant. Everyone else could make, "Meh, it's OK coffee" with it, but that man could brew some AMAZING java with that beast. :)

Yep. 2.5 hrs of OT per day for just being on call plus extra per callout.

When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host "Saturday Night Live", I didn’t know what Facebook was. And, now that I do know what it is, I have to say it sounds like a HUGE waste of time. I would never say that people on it are losers... but that’s only because I’m polite.
People say, "But Betty, Facebook is a great way to connect with old friends." Well, at my age, if I want to connect with old friends I need a Ouija board. Needless to say, we didn’t have Facebook when I was growing up. We had Phonebook, but you wouldn’t waste an afternoon on it. [...] We had poking but it wasn’t something you did on a computer. It was something you did on a hayride. Under a blanket.

ONE of my favorite songs. At least one friend had that for me on her phone as my ring tone.

I love that woman.

ooh, I missed the dragon hoard looting :-(
I was out gardening,
I have the coolest blackbird ever in my garden.
the little guy sit's at arms length while i dig in the ground, waiting for insects to be dug up, when I find a snail I crush it and throw it his way which he takes without even hopping away.
he and his ladybird have found the best nesting place in my garden, too.
right in the climbing-rose, completly cat-save

The absence is nothing personal. My life is kind of going to hell in a handbasket and I see no reason to inflict it upon everyone else.
*hugs and hopes it at least is a small hell and handbasket*

Treppa, you can talk to us (or me!) at anytime. My email is still the same if you wish to vent.

Fortunately this was disproven, despite Zuckerbergs involvement in f-mail. Which I just call fail.
