As an aside, the wife has seasoned two of our three cast iron skillets we found under the sink the other day.
Yay cast iron cookware!

Good news: we've scratched and clawed our way to 1 degree above zero.
Bad news: the sun is gone, so it won't last.

I'm likely older than most people on these boards, even if I'm only 45. ;-)

I was under the weather today. I blame it on walking through the strange weather we had yesterday in nothing more than heavy-duty sweats. It was raining but it was also incredibly foggy- I was walking through soup at some points.
Feeling better now though...

What would the Red Hot Chili Peppers do without state and country names to rhyme?
I mean, I like them, but some of their verses are just silly.
You're not wrong.

Yesterday marks the second time in the last six months that I've had to help the fine folks at National Grid do their job during a power outage. Last time, one of the cutout fuses blew, and this time, the wind blew a branch onto the primaries. Both times, the guys didn't bother getting out of their truck, instead just driving in circles looking awkwardly out of the windshield (also, the second time, it was dark, and they didn't have flashlights), and I had to show them the issue myself. Fifty bucks an hour just to sit in your truck has got to be a sweet gig.

They kinda went south after Hillel died, to be honest. Or when Rick Rubin got involved. One of the two, anyway. Probably both.

Over the last two weeks, John "Brad" Bradbury (The Specials), Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (Motorhead), and David Bowie have all died. Ominous. Portentous, even. Think this will be the year we finally lose Keith Richards?

Dracandros? Haven't I killed you years ago?
You taking about that encounter on Haptooth Hill in Curse of the azure bonds? Clone spell man, it's pretty cool. Has anyone seen my helm of dragons?

Don't get old! (Except you, Ragadolf! I need at least one person on these boards to stay older than me!)
Annnnnd, Presto! Your WISH is granted! :D
I have yet another of those annoying birthday things in less than month.

I just have to keep reminding myself,

Yeeeeeeah,..... I'm hosed. :/

This depends on where you live. I've lived places where we bought water because the city water was disgusting, but I've also lived places where the city water is really, really good. Which is as much as I can really say without delving into politics. Water is kind of a big deal in politics around these parts right now. What with our state government poisoning a whole city and all....All I use my steamer for is rice and veggies. It is awesome at making those. Oh and a tip from Aranna; Use good quality spring water for steaming it really does lend its flavor to the food. And by the same token avoid using city tap water at all costs... ewwww.
Peggy and Dean: Hi, kids!
Peggy: Today, we're going to talk about
Twinkles: Gee, that's a funny word!
Dean: Yes, Twinkles, it is a funny word! Do you know what it means?
Twinkles: {sadly} No-o-o-o!
Peggy: It means, 'You're going to get run over by a brightly coloured Japanese velocipede!'
Twinkles: Really? Hey, I know a song about that!
Dean: Do you, Twinkles? Wow, that's great! Let's all sing it together!

Gorgeous tiny chicken machine show. That is all.
Edit: Maybe not all. It has some pretty off-colour stuff.
I empathize so strongly with Rick in that Forst episode. Pretty funny (but, uh... a bit naughty, yeah).

It's Tuesday, which apparently means that certain people feel they ought to come into work wearing a miniskirt and ripped fishnets combo, despite the fact that it is not 1985 and they are not extras in a Motley Crue video.
Not that I'm complaining, necessarily, but still...

Are you upset because you didn't think of it first, or maybe, that could pull it off better.

Also, for anyone interested, EA is giving away free copies of Bioware's Jade Empire via their Steam competitor/client, Origin.
Thanks!

Pretty much what I did. As soon as I hit 48, I just figured, "Ah, well, close enough!"
So I've been 50 for quite a while now, and will continue to be for the next year or two...

Well, *that* was anticlimactic!
NobodysWife: NH, I've noticed your old wolf sweatshirt on the floor. Is it too small for you?
NH: No, it fits me now. Why?
W: Oh, I was thinking that Impus Major might like it. I thought it was a Medium.
NH: It is.
W: Is it a large Medium?
NH: No; I've just lost 30 pounds in the last 3 months.
W: Oh. Good for you. So do you want to keep it?
NH: No; you can give it to Impus Major.
So yep, not even an exclamation mark. Just a side, "Good for you."
Ah, well, I'm doing it for my own personal health rather than accolades.
It's just that accolades never hurt. :-P
(On the other hand, I'm really beginning to notice the difference in weight. I'm lighter on my feet, move with more confidence, and suddenly push-ups are embarrassingly easy. Kind of like taking 30 pounds off your bench press and wondering why you can suddenly double your reps...)

24 working hours remain until vacation.
I've taken to responding to any request for action with a gurgling, zombielike moan and shambling off to get things done.
Brains and the taste thereof have captured my attention lately.
I should report this to HR to see if anything can be done. I might be a zombie.

Yeah, you've gotta do it for yourself first and foremost.
OTOH, I just got back from the doctor, who was delighted with how much I've lost in 6 weeks AND in the 15 point drop in both blood pressure numbers. It's nice to have a health professional enthusiastic like that.
