Heya mom!

Nice to see you here. I wondered if you would be in someday.

LOL, too much steak, eggs & butter? I have been very good. I have been trying to walk everyday. The tough part is feeling comfortable enough to walk alone. The people who walk around here have dogs or are toting kids...not my scene.

Yes, I enjoy good food, too much.
The Red Cross doesn't want my blood because I can check off about half of the risk factors...so I try to contribute in other ways.
Don't worry about walking alone. I'd worry more about taking Mr. Pepper Spray than a kid or pup.
The best exercise is the one you'll do.

I missed you, mom.

Do you do priceline? Or do you choose your own carrier? I chose my carrier...knowing that we would be on the "maiden voyage" to Seattle. (They did a draw for $50 travel gift certificates for being the first flight. Sadly, we didn't win.) I used priceline for the hotel and car rental. I got $50 per day at the Hilton, which was normally $125 a day. And the car was $14/day, but we opted for some kind of insurance, which made it more costly. But what was great is - with what I saved, we were able to buy internet access and do extra stuff.

Have to use MegaCorp's travel service for business; mostly use hotwire, kayak, or some other service for personal travel.

Hi, mom. Will try to stay on the good side of the VolMod sword.

Our area is super-safe. I think there is only 1 level 2 sex offender in town and I think he wouldn't be interested in me, if you know what I mean. There is a development across the street...million/multi-million dollar houses which is nice to walk in. Lottery, dreams, you know?

Yeah, I used to be a sprinter in HS. I threw shotput and discus, too. In college, I walked everywhere because I couldn't afford the T. Was spending money on other things...I also took yoga and swam. I hate the idea of joining a gym again. It would definitely need to have a pool and yoga or kickboxing. I am so over aerobics and step.

Yeah, the vandals...they'll get theirs one at a time. Lynnie gave me the perfect smilie. See, you got to be around of chaos ensues!

Thanks - re: pics. A lot of fun.

Was also a sprinter in HS...100/200/relays. Anything more than a lap and I was done.
Gotta just keep moving, whether it's Gold's Gym, Yoga Booty Ballet, Bally's, gardening, rock climbing, Super Ab Lounge, mall walking, or whatever..

Are you sure about that, now?

You mean wooting isn't exercise?

acemom, have you gotten the opportunity to chat with Alien recently? How is he doing?

he put himself on probation last week as a test...
I would never do that...
It was pretty funny when he did that though, and I tried to delete the post that made it happen but it didn't change anything...

What a bunch of boneheads, eh?

Should be an interesting infomercial...aww bollocks, shouldn't have said that...I guess that'll be the contest next week now.

I thought MacDaddy was supposed to be a smart guy...like a copy editor or teacher or something.

Back!

Unfortunately, woot staff or the mods may need to flex some muscle as the entire PeteO family gets involved with the first page stuff.

The whole family? Really?

I must have missed something really funny...

Are you staying up for the woot?

Yep, peteromans11 got a 72 hour timeout, then MrsPeterOmans11 assumed the first page position and got a prob too.
Product forum also has Peteromanskid or something like that, along with username Ihatepeteromans11...
Gotta play by the rules in my opinion. Woot gives quite a bit of latitude in what happens here. When the WootStaff lets you know you're pushing the envelope, you either have to agree to stay within the envelope or accept getting a whack on the fanny.
Pete doesn't bother me, personally. Just gotta be consistent.

Wow...yeah woot is pretty lenient.

Will make a valiant attempt. Could be Woot single malt scotch...I guess that would be 'mac' compatible?

So, what did you enjoy most about the vacation?

Mt. Ranier...it was totally unlike anything I had ever seen.

Like I mentioned, it was like a cross between a forest in the Lord of the Rings and Alice in Wonderland. Things were so twisted, moss-covered, knarly, knotty and dark that it was so beautiful. Everything was huge. "One pill makes you smaller...one pill makes you larger..."

killingtime wrote:

Now that they've crossed the libations line beyond appliances and into actual consumables, the possiblities are endless...
sardines
chocolate
vodka
cornish game hen
cheese
turducken...

Agreed...went skiing at Crystal Mt. in the Cascades...took chairlift to 8000+ ft. summit...damn we're really up here...skiied off lift and...holy crap...Rainier appears..and is another MILE higher. Takes your breath away.

Chocolates wouldn't be bad. I often give chocolates to people I work with...you know people I don't know well.

Cheese would be good, too. I love cheese, especially boursin pepper cheese on french bread. *sigh*

I have only skiied once, but I can visualize what you must have seen. Yes, there is something to be said for white-capped mountains.

Made an attempt to acquire, but the server demons prevailed. Would like to have bragging rights, but didn't have the persistance to beat the demons into submission.
