This is a good thing; more members, more members posting, more members creating threads.

I don't like to "Mark this forum read" but I just can't keep up any longer.

WDE (WaitingDogExhale)

I just came to this same conclusion.

Also, looking for saran wrap.

Now, being lazy before getting ready for work, listening to "The Cosmic Computer" by H Beam Piper on my YP-P2, and reading MR.

The comments by men about the women in the story are pure retro. It's a cross between "The Jetsons" and the male dominated societies of the past.

I'm sitting here, marvelling that I started this thread a while back because I was frustrated with the Twitter thingy and that it now has 5268 posts...

nekokami · 05-26-2009, 04:07 PM

Counting up how much time I've taken off due to illness and term papers so I can see if I can take a short summer course on "Cognition, Teaching, and Learning."

And I'm marvelling that you can count that high. And spell. Your avatar would suggest otherwise. You feeling okay, dude? You're looking a little.....bald today. Maybe should try that Rogaine again that you told me about once.

No. The world's keyboard and display manufacturers are having a hard enough time in the current climate without the steady demand for replacements that is fostered by the MR posts.

Every time I see EMR, I read EMH, and promptly get into an argument with myself as to whether you are Tuvok or Neelix.

Hmmm. I shall now think of you as a Painted Lady, like those I watched over the weekend sipping from our Marguerites.

Yes, and have you noticed that his sleepers don't quite fit any more either? And I wish he'd close his mouth soon. Most unbecoming, if you ask me.

Montsnmags International (Holdings) has a fascinating website. I especially love the Dirty Deeds Done (not) Dirt Cheap subsection. Who knew squirrels were that creative?

Right now, I'm starting to dictate my morning notes and getting ready to do nursing home rounds.

And mindlessly reding MR posts.

right now im aimlessly wandering the mobileread forums

I think I mentioned that the Muffin Man is giving me a pedal assist motor for our anniversary. Well, it turns out it was less expensive to just buy the whole bike: http://www.ezipusa.com/158-ezip-moun...tric-bike.html

I'm giving him a Wii with Wii Fit.

(We both need to be getting more exercise.)
