I just discovered youtube speed settings... Everything still audioable at 1.5 and flows so much more nicely. If only I could do this to people IRL...

For some reason, I find this just cool as hell:

I saw that when it was aired, and was worried he was going to crash through the door with the white BelAir behind him earlier.

Quick catch-up if we're not friends on Twitter or FB: I had gastric bypass in June...I've been battling weight issues for years. Separately, I lost my job 4 weeks ago, as it was a one-year grant-funded position and I wasn't offered a "replacement" or similar position.
So on the weight front, I'm down 90 pounds since January, which is when I started the bypass program...48 pounds since the actual surgery. Goal is to be down another 100 pounds by Christmas. On the job front, I've had several interviews over the past 4 weeks, and was offered one job. Unfortunately, I had to turn it down due to a pay impasse. Fortunately, I have a job interview for a position I REALLY want on Monday...in Chicago. Then I got a call today to interview for a position on Tuesday...in St. Louis, which is my hometown. Then there is the possibility that the Mrs. might be getting a promotion to a position that could take us to another fine American city. Just hopeful that everything works out for the family in the end. |

Then there is this fantastic episode of On Point with Sarah Palin that I am watching...featuring Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Orrin Hatch and Donald Trump. It has been a hot mess so far and Donald is about to come up!

Wow, rollercoaster of a year so far for you then. Hope all works out and congrats on the weight loss. Also, good for you sticking to your guns on pay.

Great to hear your news elSic.
Get the camera out, stat! We need photos. Making me happy? My weekend. I haven't been happy all weekend, as I've started a new prescription and it does have side effects to start with. But I've had support. And my colouring books. Can't stay precisely inside the lines, because am currently a bit shaky. But I'm tidy enough to smile and smile at the end result. These are the adult style books, with intricate patterns and drawings, not the kind you give to five year olds with crayons btw.

Congrats on the weight loss, elsic! Best wishes on the job front for you and the family.
Glad to hear about your weekend, Sundae. I never could do a good job on those intricate designs. Take a pic of one and post it!

you know how book is a collection of crazy stunts that have worked when people were stuck in situations that going by the book couldn't provide a solution? My boss made a decision I made at the spur of the moment into a default procedure.
I can now die knowing that I have left a lasting stamp (on a department that's probably going to be replaced by AI in a municipality that's probably going to be consumed into a larger municipality within a country that's probably going to get bombed in a nuclear holocaust within an area of Asia that's probably going to get covered with the rising sea line). |

I spent an hour and a half tending my garden after work tonight. I get so much satisfaction from my garden. Happy. :-)

I was going to say that gardens are a prelude to heaven. Then I decided to revise: gardens ARE heaven.

Me too, though the subject matter (see other thread, not this) makes me mad!
