Fact about Mareen F.

zehnuhr:
Drinking Berliner Weisse plenty of times in early infancy made her, who she is now. Just a fact (she told me while drinking Berliner Weiße grün — with woodruff).
Hirnschädigung??
Living in Dusseldorf, hirnschadigung might result from Killepitsh consumption other than weissen beer.
hahaha

I now have 2 cords of firewood in my driveway. On the upside, my new wheelbarrow carries 3 times what I can carry myself. On the downside, I have twice the wood I had last year…
“The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly...”

I got to thinking about this a bit more. Look at the demographics…Obama’s got a lot of young people, who generally may be more likely to either not have a job or not find it a problem to cut out of work for the day. McCain folks are demographically older, actually running...

Palin’s dealt with, and dispatched with, corruption in her own party in her state. She was on the outside of her own party for standing up against it. Because of it, the populous elected her Governor. To me, it shows you where...
EPIC VP FAIL

spiegelman:
The first serious female candidate for executive office was just undercut by a younger woman with a fraction of the experience, who will enjoy her candidacy soley because an old white man picked her out of a lineup.
If I were a Hillary supporter, I’d be really pissed off right now.
Fail? Not in the least. Picking her is a much safer pick for the up for grab...

That’s 8.3 GB a day. If you’re transferring that much, you can’t possibly be up to any good. I’ve got no problem with that cap. In fact, tier my service so I pay less for it. Give me the same speed, cap it at like 100gb a day and cut my price. I’ll be fine with that.

Poor McCain. He just can’t get anybody excited. His largest crowd to date is about 1.5% the size of Obama’s largest crowd. While the ability to pack stadiums isn’t a real qualification for President, Obama has managed to engage more people and get more people excited about politics and...
Drunken-Driving Deaths Fall Coast-to-Coast |... →
“Drunken-driving deaths fell in 32 states in 2007, the government reported Thursday, but alcohol-related fatalities increased among motorcycle riders in half the states”
This actually makes perfect sense. Motorcycle ridership is way up this year due to increased gas prices. Car drivership is down.
My wife is on a plane going to visit her sister right now. She left from work and the last time I saw her was this morning. On a normal day, we’d have been home for about 3 hours now and we’d have started winding down for the evening. So essentially, it’s been 3 hours… and I miss her… a lot. I won’t be talking to her until late tonight when she reaches Reno...
Games.

M and I are at Lovely, and a group of boys next to us are playing a very strange game. Neither of us have any idea what it is. Square, gridded wood board, two players, each with a bag of small discs (one has white, one has black). T.
Ideas?
Perhaps Reversi?

Input forms that advance you to the next field automatically are so unhelpful if you don’t realize it’s going to do it. If you anticipate it, it’s amazing.
It seems to mostly happen with entering your social security number, since its split into three boxes. I always type the first three and then press tab, but since the form advanced me automatically I enter the middle two in the...

Why call it notes??
Is there some reason “reblogs” was renamed “notes?” Sometimes I note it, sometimes I just reblog it because it’s cool and is self explanitory/I have no comment on it…
Jagged Little Pill
marco:
Tiff and I recently did a thought exercise: If you’re going to be on an island forever, etc.:
If you could only have music from one band, which would it be?
Alternately:
If you could only have one album, which would it be? (Doesn’t have to be the same band as above. Our picks weren’t.)
Tiff picked Jagged Little Pill for the second one. I was surprised, so I decided to listen to...
Dear Apple,
Please for the love of god and all that is sweet and good in this world, make quickview work from stacks that you have on the Dock in Leopard. It’s a complete waste of clicks to have to open the folder first, and THEN quickview it. Ideally, I should be able to click on a stack, have it unfurl itself, then hover over an item in the opened stack and have quickview pop up.

Online Classes
jeralyndwile:
I’m taking a semester off from college to work and take some online courses till I figure out which University I really want to go to…amongst other things that have come up.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had some wisdom about taking classes online? Who to go through…which classes to take….advice on homework and setup…etc. Any help would be great!
make sure the school is...
“I am not running for vice president. I would not accept it if anyone offered it...”
– Joe Biden, after dropping out of the 2008 Presidential election race.
Joe Biden Followup
Yeah, so I got to thinking about this a bit more. If you’re going to be considered to be a VP pick, you get vetted first to make sure you haven’t got anything damaging in the closet. Hillary Clinton’s campaign never received any kind of requests for financial or other records so that Obama’s people could vette her - an obvious sign that he wasn’t going to pick her. ...

All I have to say is, “LIAR!” Joe Biden up to last week said something in the ball park of “I’m not interested, I’ve not talked to anyone about being VP.” Obviously, he was lying if so close to being picked he made that statement. Fucking liar. LIAR

Any smart people want to explain this to me at the top of an email I got at work?

From murder?!?!? I’m not sending out an email ever again.
