I know you can't really tell a customer/client this, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to say when he calls with something urgent, "your emergency is not my emergency". Only customer service people and government employees can get away with that... ;) :?

That does sound like a cool gadget! I am also a fan of popcorn but rarely make it because it's hard to finish a batch by myself. Need to buy more of those small single serving bags. Or find a microwave air popper.

Reviving an old discussion...

Saw this (<---click) today... looks sweet! The butter melts into the popcorn as it pops! Mmmmmm.

Sure, but first I need to check how many parking spots in the garage?

Ymo, I'd be wary. Seriously, there are only 2 powder rooms*. Sheesh.

* There are, however, 12 bathrooms.

I find his voice worse than fingernails on a chalkboard or Sharapova playing tennis. CANNOT STAND HIS VOICE!!! That asshole did three encores. I broke up with guy fairly soon after that.

bjornolf wrote:Thanks to all about the advice about the reunion. It went pretty well. I knew Sean would adjust, he always does, and he LOVES visiting his grandparents, either set. I just felt bad for him at the time. He had fun. There's a train and a duckpond at the park, and we took him to both. He had a BLAST riding the train, and feeding the ducks. Doing both the party and the reunion in one day just wasn't going to happen, as the reunion started at 1100 hours and the party started at 1200 hours and the two places are a 3+ hour drive (should be about 2.5, but with DC weekend traffic, it's more like 3.5, dammit! ). But, he had a good time, as he always does when we visit them. Michael and Katie had fun too. If anybody's interested, I can put up a picture of them on the train.

The great irony was that Erica's mom (my mother-in-law, MiL) got a titanic nosebleed on the way to the reunion, and they spent the 90% of the reunion at the ER. I offered to take her in place of FiL, but he refused (I think I would have preferred the ER ;) ... she probably would too!). They didn't get to the reunion 'til around 1700 hours, after we, and most of the younger crowd, had left. Erica's mom lost a LOT of blood (they didn't see her for a couple hours, and the doctor was pissed b/c he said it was one of the worst he'd seen and she should have been treated much sooner, but that a lot of it was running down her throat so the front people didn't see). The doc said it was a pretty major vein that had popped in there. They cauterized it, but he's worried that it might spring again. She has to go see her ENT today to check on it. Hope she feels better soon.

I'm telling you, go to your ENT and have them turbinate it. Or have you tried a nettipot? Not sure if that's the spelling, but my WalMart sells them. It pours water up your nose and it comes pouring out the other nostril, along with ALL kinds of nasty gunk. It has gotten my sinuses cleared out more than once. If you need more pressure, my allergist sold me this little attachment that you put on one of those water guns that use a motor to shoot water between your teeth to clean them. You put the special attachment on it, then shoot the water up your nose at pressure. It REALLY gets all the crap out. Works REALLY well. It sounds pretty weird, and when you first do it, it's kind of like being waterboarded, but it REALLY helps, a lot more than a drill would anyway. ;)

Oh yeah, there's a gecko on the wall of this hotel room.

Now I KNOW I am in Madagascar.

Is it trying to sell you an insurance policy?
