Tony called just now, him from work to me at work, to tell me that when I get a chance at some point, I should check out the Mikasa website and look at the bottom row of dishes on the Everyday China page because we are going to need some new daily-use dishes in a couple years. (I did not put this in his mind. This is all him.) He likes solid white ( Read more... )

Hey, Karinny... I would really like to see pics of your My Little Pony costume again. I tried to go back through previous posts to find it, but I haven't found it. I'm trying to come up with a unicorn costume, and would really love to see your MLP one again... I remember being particularly impressed with how well you managed the head, but I can't ( Read more... )

Today I received a call from a tour group leader seeking photos of one of our ships. We have a Veendam and a Zaandam. She wanted photos of a "Vaandam." There is no such ship. That would be why she couldn't find any on our website, despite having pictures of all our "other" ships there ( Read more... )

My favorite part of Googling famous historical people is reading the paid advertising sidebars.

It's so nice to know that eBay is there for all my Thor Heyerdahl needs. I had been wracking my brain as to where I could easily acquire a long-dead Norwegian

I had my appointment with Dr. Useless yesterday evening. I called last week and scheduled the appointment for 2/14... then immediately called back, said "Whoops, that's Valentine's Day and I have plans. Can we make it Thursday?" And they said yes. Same time: 5:00. When I arrived yesterday, the girl couldn't find me on the schedule. She was the one ( Read more... )

I’m a mess, but almost surely a salvageable mess. He found a laundry list of contributing factors, all kind of snowballing into pain. Explains a lot, really. Says I am an excellent candidate for custom orthotics, and that aside from that, most of my problems can probably be solved through strengthening. On the down side, my feet are “too flexible ( Read more... )

If you have not already seen Pennies From Heaven (1981), you must. No, I take it back. You can skip most of the movie, if you like - it's a weird movie and I don't actually specifically recommend it. If it weren't for Bernadette Peters, the majority of the film would be unwatchable. But approximately one hour in, Christopher Walken appears for his ( Read more... )

So I go home for lunch yesterday, and as I leave to return to work, the building owner catches me and tells me that a car was stolen from the garage the other day. I actually remember the incident, as the thieves ditched a previously stolen car when they took the one from our garage, and they ditched the other one in my parking space. So anyway, he ( Read more... )

Crossposted to bettasWell, I got home from tribal class last night (which was great - it felt really good to be back and to get going again, even though I felt pretty uncoordinated and sloppy), and noticed that frog #1 (With Cream Sauce) was laying spread-eagled, belly up, on the bottom of the tank. I honestly wasn't entirely sure what that meant at ( Read more... )

First off, my bf is doing fnie and is slowly starting to feel better. He's picking up some motion sickness patches or something to help with the lingering nausea, but he's doing okay. And the car hunt is on ( Read more... )
