And write down your praise
For the radio shows

Still calling for more.

Or a little of everything

Have your work read on air --
So get started now,
And write it with care!

Ok folks, which pain reliever is also an anti-inflamatory? THe knots in my neck, shoulders, and back are still there, though not as intense as last Friday. I have about 65-70% range of motion in my neck.

What should my choice be? Advil, tylenol, or motrin? I can't ever remember.

Been using the ThermaCare heat packs. I'm not convinced they are helping, but I'm also not conviced they're useless. I'll probably head out to the drug store soon and pick up something, since I forgot everything I needed at home. Called for a massage appt. too, but nobody answered the phone there!!

My BF cut a tree at a tree farm yesterday. Luckily, we didn't have quite the problems you did Sass with the lights, although we could only get 1/2 of one of the strings to light up. His tree is only 4' tall, so it didn't take many lights.

I'm up. I got a very big kick in the pants yesterday when I received notice of my bonus this year. Its the worst bonus I've ever gotten at this company. I'm really, really, really angry, but I think in the grand scheme of things its just time to get the heck out of here.

I'm so angry I feel like throwing up. And I haven't even eaten anything yet today.

Good morning - I hit the gym with my pack yesterday and had a good workout on both the treadmill and the stairmaster. I'll do the same today. Felt a little conspicuous, but quickly got over it. The treadmill I could do all day. Stairmaster with pack is an entirely different matter, so that's the one I'll focus on. Have a good day, y'all.

Good morning! It's a nice morning here with light snow falling, but it's right around 32 degrees. It's supposed to go from snow to a mix of snow and rain early this morning, light rain during the day and then freezing rain around 5 or 6 PM. Sounds like a messy day for driving.

Good morning. Rain wiped out most of our snow and now we have that damp chill that just plain sucks. Today is rain in the morning followed by snow as the temp drops. Still plenty to do: hit the gym, tackle that damn digital camera and learn how to use it, etc.

Good morning. Are you ready for it?

Slept in this morning. Swam 3,000 yards yesterday evening. Closing in on my 2-mile milestone.

Good Morning Everyone! We are supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow today. I wish it would stick but it seems awfully warm.
Swimming at the rec center today, yesterday I did twenty minutes with the kickboard (lost count of the laps) and about 1000 yards of brest, free and backstroke. Felt gooood.
You all have a happy Friday!

Divinity - hang in there. My week hasn't exactly gotten better, but things in life are falling into place.

Over Christmas break, I'll be fixing up my condo (when I should be studying for some tests, but I'll manage those somehow). It'll get put on the market ASAP, and hopefully it'll sell by March, which is my anniversary date here at work, and I'll be vested another year in my 401K. As soon as the condo is sold, and I hit that march date, I'll be quiiting my job and going to school full time. I should be finished in about a year, and then I can move closer to my BF, if we're not married by then.

LIfe has its ways of kicking you in the a$$ to move you closer to what you should be doing. That happened to me this week. I have been treated so unfairly, and I can now see that I'm damed if I do and damned if I don't. So, its time to move on.

Life is so good!

You really ought to consider co-hosting a thread with Stikmon. j/k

Besides, I live in Wisconsin.

Good Sass. It's the mental part that's most important - the rest takes its' cues from the thinking, attitudes, etc.

This edit button is really great, allowing me to respond to things before they're posted.

I knew what you meant, but a "gack" sounds cool enough to be a real word...maybe some sort of weird backpacking animal (when I go into the backcountry I always load up my "gack" and hit the trail).

Hmmmmmmm.

  • Matt will only allow one Nimblefoot in the crowd.
  • Same TT start date in Google report as in the current user data.
  • Google data base item could be out of date.
  • Took him almost two weeks before he informed us.
  • He could have edited the home state during that time.
So, it looks like he was going to travel incognito. I wonder if he was ever going to tell us. Why would he try to pull the wool over our eyes. "What's up, doc?"
