I would have asked them about a b12 supplement then. B12 =/= caffeine, but a shot of it (or taken as a supplement) works wonders.
Since freakin January. I've been working out like crazy. I'm so pissed off. I've went down a few sizes in clothes, but still. 19 pounds. 2387387697676%$$%#$%@#%#*%$&^%&^&*(
That's the way it goes with weight loss... unless you're on "The Biggest Loser," then you're doing 4 or 5 hours of aerobics a DAY on top of eating less than 2,000 calories a day.

Bactine contains lidacaine, so it soothes the wound as it disenfects. Thus why I reached for it over alcohol or peroxide.
Well, I guess you can't call it a true JTHM moment, because all I did was scratch my arm, he had just hacked somebody to bits.

Another random bit for everybody; these are surpisingly good machetes (I paid about that to get one at work, where it's a stock item). Finally got a 30 degree edge on it -- reccomended edge for both swords and machetes, and supposedly axes as well -- and so I set up a piece of scrap board to test the edge with.
I didn't realize until after I stuck this blade that I hit the board going with the grain, so it was an easier cut, as apposed to going across the grain. But still, pretty cool.
Pretty flowers....

I keep wondering what will my scene be. I'll be meeting up with the other writers tomorrow at 4PM-- and will have exactly 24 hours to write a 10 minute scene.PLEEEEAAASSSEEE make letters.......

I want some people to do the letter Z. Maybe I'm just biased because it's the first letter of my last name. Who knows. (But I am tired of being last.)
I wonder how quickly my Cinco de Mayo margaritas will put me to sleep, especially after driving five hours.
Speaking of driving, odd coincidence: about five minutes after I drove under an overpass, a guy driving on the bridge above had a heart attack, drove off the bridge, and crashed into my lane. Talk about timing. He's gonna be fine, surprisingly. If he hadn't been driving one of those tank-like cars from the '70s, he probably wouldn't have made it.

Well there's you're problem, right there! You just aint working long enough. ;-D
That, and the fact that you're female. Women tend to have less lean muscle mass and more body fat, so losing weight is more difficult. You can kick me in the nutts all you want, but I've got charts and graphs to back everything up.
I want a custom bumper sticker that reads "I throw bricks at tail gaters."
I have 3 machetes.
Can they do THAT, though? ;-D
I like my corona, though; the website says it's "tempered steel," but the guys from work are convinced that it's actually a big piece of spring steel. You take it and tap it against something and it gives off this nice bell-tone like "PING" sound effect like you hear in most movie sword fights, and it holds a nice edge. My other machete (the $8 wal-mart sporting goods special) just goes "thud," not sure about the edge since I haven't put a proper edge on it yet.
Running that machete through the Fiskar's Ace and Knife sharpener after I ground the edge on it was un-needed, though. I think that it's good for doing heavy work if you've got the time to do it, and it's good for doing touchups, but... if you use it to much, it can put a really fine edge on the thing, which is useless for something that you're going to be chopping at tree limbs with anyway.
azaleas, aren't they? I love those.
Not sure. I asked my Mom (her garden), and she's not sure what they are either. She knows they're roses, but she's doesn't know the variety of them right at the moment. I'll have to get back to you on this one.

That's why those are the only cars to drive, in my opinion. Yeah, you get better gas mileage in a car made with a fiberglass panneling, but I DARE people to tailgate me as I go down the road in two tons of detroit steel.
I go looking for reasons to tap the brakes, most days. I'm insured, so fuck 'em.

as a motorcyclist I have to say, even though a big car will fuck you up, tailgating a motorcycle is beyond stupid. Think about it, would you get right up behind a bicyclist? no. why not? He can hit a pot hole, fall over and bam you're getting arrested for vehicular homicide and dealing with a wrongful death civil suit. So why in the FUCK would you tailgate a motorcycle? What's even worse is you probably have a hothead frat boy on that bike who thinks it's cute to slam on his breaks in front of you to "teach you a lesson" but what you and retard frat boy don't understand is that a motorcycle stopping distance is a fraction of a car stopping distance, so before either of you know it, he's brained all over your windshield.
Tailgating is sort of a pet peeve of mine, only because I am a very paranoid driver. My only other problem is people who pass on the left on the shoulder when you are making a left hand turn. I've seen too many stories in the paper of an impatient driver hitting a pedestrian because they couldn't wait for the car in front of them to pull out of the lain. And when I'm riding my motorcycle I sort of have to be aggressive about my lane so that people don't troy to get next to me/by me and wind up side swiping me (apparently this is common)

They got the news article up--the car was a 1972 LeMans Sport Coupe. No wonder he was okay. Still, though...that was my lane. Stuff like this makes me wonder about coincidence and shit like that. I also missed the car fire up I-270, but that I would have liked to see for some reason.
Maybe I get that from Mom and Dad--if there's an accident or something, they go looking to see if they can find blood or mangled bodies.

What I don't get about some motorcyclists is the way they zip in and out of lanes and in between cars. Yes, you're smaller and faster, but that's riskier. Some guy got killed in July because he cut off a car after changing lanes and the driver couldn't react in time. I don't know if it's necessarily the faster way to travel when there is a lot of traffic. In Columbus, considering the beltway and interstate have 5-6 lanes at a time sometimes, you're gonna be waiting at some point, and odds are you'll need to stay in a lane or you'll miss your exit.

yeah, that's plain retarded on the biker's part. Also, I mis-typed and said LEFT instead of RIGHT lol, that'd put a damper in your day if somebody tried swerving around you on the left when you're making a left hand turn.
Studies have shown that cutting somebody off or trying to get to the next lain and acting selfish while driving actually causes more gridlock and makes the commute time for all far longer. Some studies are even showing that getting rid of super highways in congested cities actually lowers commute times because on a 2 lane road you are far less likely to drive like a jackass, thus causing an accident or causing traffic to back up behind you because you changed lanes and cut somebody off.

Mine starts with an M.
I hated that because before my name... there is a BILLION Ngyuens before me.
San Jose has the largest amount of Vietnamese population, or it's one of them.
My graduation... when they were reading the N's... it took quite a while until the Nguyens were done until they could get to my own name.
Which is not very common here or in Mexico, but very common in other Latin American places and Spain.

I graduated with 15 other people. I was 6th in line alphabetically.
when I got my Associate Degree, they gave us a little card and had us line up by major and we gave the card to somebody to read off.
apparently, from what I hear of my current university, you don't even line up in any special order...in fact, they have a couple of different ceremonies going on at once at different locations. You see the key speeches on a giant video screen and then everyone in your area gets their degrees from somebody different, that way it's over quicker or something. same thing with the name card.

I don't understand .
I was taught (& still believe) that the letter 'M' comes before the letter 'N' ?!!?
So why would the N's be named before your name with an M ???
I wanted to put up a "I'm so confused" thread mood...but there isn't one !

Did your class have a parade of nurses too? When I got mine like half of the graduating class was from the nurse program.

Being a homeschooler, the size of your graduating class tends to vary from year-to-year. My graduating class for the support group I was in was me, and three other people (only one of whom I actually knew). Three guys, one girl... and the girl had a full ride scholarship to David Lipscomb university straight out of High school. Me and my friend both went to community college, and the other dude went straight to work to support his wife and pay for her to go to medical school.
My brother's graduating class the following year had like a dozen people, himself included.

My high school graduating class was 340-something, and my college graduating class was 6,359. And there were a LOT of nurses, but that's probably because GMU has a huge nursing program.
I wound up in the wrong academic unit because some numbskull in the Registrar's Office told me the wrong time to show up for convocation, so I almost had to walk with the Communications majors - my department had already been seated by the time I arrived.

I remember my high school class having 500-some graduates, but the seating chart was written in pencil, so whenever someone failed, they'd just erase the name.
For college, they did graduations by major. There were three people in mine, myself included. By majors, they went in alphabetical order by name. There were a surprisingly large number of teaching students graduating, but many had spent more than four years there due to Praxis testing and whatnot.
Also, today my pop-up blocker has been screaming at me whenever I've been on NG. I wonder what ads are in rotation.

Okay, I see what the problem is: Flash pop-ups. Some movie will pop up at the bottom center of my screen, and it's starting to interfere with my posting. I can't really track it down to one ad since I'm getting different "waiting for" messages on my taskbar.

By any chance, are you getting a Flash ad for Coke at the bottom center of your screen? I think that might be what's causing it.
