Some of the inconsistencies irked me. Scott said it wasn't a strict prequel, but I really think that's how he thought of it.

I really wanted to like that movie...but I didn't.
- Derrick
I felt like I fell asleep at the part where stuff made sense, and woke up to random scenes badly duct-taped together. And I really wanted to like it, too. But. No.
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
I liked components of the movie, but, as a whole, I felt it was very lacking.
- Jed Harris-Keith
I'm still processing it. And I missed about 20 minutes of the beginning. I think I'm more in Jed's camp than anyone who has commented so far. There were some good parts that didn't add up to a consistently good whole. And of course, there's my unnatural love for Chalise Theron.

WOW. Rainier cherries. I like this variety of cherry. It is impossible for me to find this kind of delicious cherry here. Enjoy your lunch Kelli :)
- Mahdi E
I shall, Mahdi. I hope one day you will get your Rainier cherry. :D

I have called my mother and asked her to send me some Rainier cherry :))

You should do some Easter Eggs. My stepdad did my Easter Eggs in kindergarten with spray paint, and they were definitely the most awesome eggs out there, a lot of the others were just plastic or regular dye.

o_O --> Just a reminder we still have plenty of slots available for tomorrow’s <company> Harlem Shake video. You DO NOT need to know how to “shake/dance” to participate in this event. It’s for fun and to show some <company> pride! If you have a fun appropriate costume, that would be great, otherwise simply wear your I’m In t-shirts!
Our digital age is all about bits, those precise ones and zeros that are the stuff of modern computer code. But a powerful new type of computer that is about to be commercially deployed by a major American military contractor is taking computing into the strange, subatomic realm of quantum mechanics. In that infinitesimal neighborhood, common sense logic no longer seems to apply. A one can be a one, or it can be a one and a zero and everything in between — all at the same time. It sounds preposterous, particularly to those familiar with the yes/no world of conventional computing. But academic researchers and scientists at companies like Microsoft, I.B.M. and Hewlett-Packard have been working to develop quantum computers. Now, Lockheed Martin — which bought an early version of such a computer from the Canadian company D-Wave Systems two years ago — is confident enough in the technology to upgrade it to commercial scale, becoming the first company to use quantum computing as part of its business.

I asked my child to bring up a clothes basket from the laundry room. She began singing "Go Down Pharaoh" as she tromped down the stairs. Her Paul Robeson impression isn't half bad. #letmypeoplego
Come on, Barry...you know you did it as a kid, too. Me and my sister used to act like my mother had us working a chain gang.

I was the perfect child that never complained and my farts - when I deigned to fart on special occasions when requested - smelled of roses and lilacs and made children smarter and more content.

Your fault for raising a smart and sassy girl. This will bode her well in the future. For now, just endure, my friend. :D

I'm not gonna lie, kind of looking forward to going to gym solely because I updated my exercise playlist on the ipod. The next song will be a surprise every time, like building with legos, or going to a brothel.
no matter what the playlist, on my iPod the second song is always either "Major Tom" or "99 Luftballons".
- Smaller Joe Silence
^ I approve of your iPod's choice of second songs. I don't get to enjoy those two often. At work, the closest we get on the radio is "Ashes to Ashes" and "99 Red Balloons"

#SaturdayFF: I've shared this before, but not for a SaturdayFF post, so I'll do it today. Several years ago I finally worked up the nerve to give blood during a blood drive at my church. I was filling out the forms and then got to the part where they list what disqualifies you from donating. Because I was in the UK during a certain time frame...
+ 1 LB. I can't give blood either because we lived in Turkey in the mid 80's. It sucks. I actually want to give blood and cant. :-(
- DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
I was in Germany in the late 80s and so am permanently ineligible as well. :(
- c.a.j.
I also cannot give blood because I got hepatitis giving mouth to mouth to an ER patient in the 80's - :(
- comix aka martha
I can't give blood either. You can sign up for the bone marrow registry; if you are selected they will evaluate your travels and do testing.
- joey
I can't give blood because of that whole gay thing.
- Derrick
well, the damn Red Cross is trying to get me to make up for all of y'all. Call me every 60 days without fail. I try to help out, but da-yam. They're getting like the "debt counselors" that robo-call constantly. Edit: I try to give about once a quarter. Between the company & community blood drives, it's pretty easy.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
I need to go give blood while I'm still heavy enough to do it.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Moto - It's the same way here. I haven't given blood in about a year, so they seem to call me about once a week (at least) and send me postcards constantly. I like doing my part, but all of these "reminders" are almost enough to make me never want to give blood again.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I couldn't last time I tried because of birth control bumping up my blood pressure. I need to try again soon. I can't do blood marrow because I weigh too much, even though I'm perfectly healthy as far as testing goes. :/
- Pixie
I've been rejected the same number of times I've donated blood because of my iron levels. My dad gets the near stalker calls because he's O negative. He usually gives but my mom and I joke that one time they're going to drain him.
- Heather
I am also banned from donating blood. I hear your pain.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
*bump* because I discovered this week that a co-worker can't give because of the same reason. Moo.
- LB: #TeamMonique
Our local blood bank wants me bad. I gave right at the end of last year, then a week later came my diagnosis of low iron stores. Cue three months of high-dose iron and not being allowed to donate. I told this to the guy from Red Cross and he had me schedule an appointment for right after my next blood test anyway, so that if I get the all-clear I can give again asap. Of course, I'm used to being wanted. NOT.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
I hate when that happens. I used to get it so bad that when I got out of bed in the morning and stood on my feet I would cry out in wincing pain. And it didn't get much better as the day wore on. Hope you can get some relief.

Last bout was about 12 years ago on the other foot. I'm in for a good year of power-limping on the court if I'm not careful.

"A new report says that outdoor cats are a major threat to wildlife. Free-ranging cats, including pets that go outside, stray and feral cats, are the leading cause of death for birds and small mammals, killing billions each year. This hour, we’ll discuss the impact cats have on wildlife and possible ways to manage our feline friends so that native species are protected. We’ll also discuss why cats are such awesome predators."
- Kelli H.
Very interesting show- I remember discussing this in my ornithology class and cats are one of the threats for our endemic chipmunk here.
- Kelli H.
I'm kind of surprised that this is being presented as new information. We've known for years that domesticated cats, even feral ones, are a threat to both birds and wildlife, through both predation and spread of disease. It's a huge part of the reason that most animal rescue agencies, many cities, and even Audubon push for cats to be kept as indoor pets.
- Hookuh Tinypants
There was another study recently that estimated a higher total of birds killed by cats, so that's why it's in the news now.
- John (bird whisperer)
And yet it's not even remotely surprising. Domestic felines are a huge anthropogenic impact to birds and wildlife, and we perpetuate it with lazy pet-rearing habits and poor environmental stewardship. But thus is the case with humans. We pick and choose the elements of nature that please us and discard those that don't when and where it is most convenient for our needs.
- Hookuh Tinypants
This is just revenge PR against cats instigated on behalf of birds whose ultimate goal is removing us mammals from the top of the animal dominance chart on this planet and returning themselves to something akin to their ancestral position from 65 million years ago. Remove the cats from the equation and what have you got? Billions more birds in place for when those feathered bastards perfect their avian flu and kick off a deadly pandemic.
