"OMG, how did I miss this yesterday?!? Shevonne, you're doing AMAZINGLY well! Have you explained to the kids what the deal is this month? I know you'd said they've not really noticed anything different with the food, I'm just wondering if they'd find it an interesting game to play if they got involved."

It fed in today, rather late. Is my math wrong? Quite possible...
- Michael W. May
Someone said a few days ago that old posts are getting bumped for no reason that we can determine. I'm guessing this was fed in back in 2008 and is one of those weird posts that just got bumped without anyone liking/commenting.

What type of brace? I'm looking for something that will offer a bit of stabilization and protection without costing more than my skates =/
- FFing Enigma
I am also looking for a shoulder brace. I haven't been able to find one.
- Anika
I have one that's a neoprene one that i wear when playing baseball or basketball but it's pricey and more for keeping it warm as much as anything and basic stabilization http://www.amazon.com/EVS-SB0... (I find the thicker strap underneath scrapes less). The one i'm wearing now is a back posture brace it helps for...

The first one you linked is the one I've been looking at. In the realm of shoulder braces (that I've seen) it's actually not all that pricey. Not as much as this one at least http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product...
- FFing Enigma
Yes I've given up on dicks and big 5 (that sounds not so good) and stick with amazon. Bought both braces there the comments seem pretty accurate about them so they might be of help if you do the search on amazon for the brace you think works best for your needs.
- SteVe C
I actually think the lower priced brace (the first one you linked)would work better for my needs since it has a pocket to insert a hot/cold pack right where my bone is bruised.

Whatever gets you out busting heads faster the better.

Man... I hope all three of you are able to find some relief and, ultimately, complete healing for your hurting parts. :(

Thanks for those links, Steve. I looked at Amazon but thought I'd find something local, but no luck.

I'm in ur workplace stealin' ur ice cubes! Actually, I'm in *MY* workplace stealing the ice cubes, but whatever... The team's sports medicine guy finally called me back (almost 2 DAYS after I left him a message, grrrr!!!) and he strongly recommends consistant icing during all waking hours (yes, the standard 20-30 on then 20-30 off).
Tonight's laugh from me to you - Imagine holding a bag of ice on your shoulder when you can't lift your arm above shoulder height. Now imagine trying to wrap an Ace bandage around your shoulder to hold the bag of ice on, but only with one functioning arm.
Finally: imagine that the only way to keep the ice on said shoulder is to painfully weasel your way into the tightest shirt you have and then shove the ice inside. Oh, and by the way, this is when you realize you need to go to the store....

I just popped the top on a can of fruit cocktail and the cats are not amused at the lack of wet cat food. I will be lucky if they don't kill me in my sleep for the confusion I've called them.
That makes two of us! Actually I'm pretty sure it's 20+ of us if I count Dave and the rest of the team (since we have a bout on the 19th). Oh, and in case anyone is wondering: tropical fruit cocktail packed in pineapple and passion fruit juice is WAY better than wet cat food!!!

Am I being overly optomistic trying to fit a 5.5 day trip into a carryon? The plan is to buy shampoo and toothpaste there, it'll be cheaper than the checked baggage fee.
my CPAP machine flys free, the case for it generally carries other things in addition to my machine.
- Joe The Sausage
Depends on the nature of the trip. If you're going skiing, I'd say you're a tad optimistic.
- Eivind
My personal item is the backpack for my laptop (the purse gets packed just like shoes), so I'll be able to fit a fair bit there. My main concern is the weather I don't know if there's room to pack a coat for 30ish highs (and I don't want to wear it there since it's highs in the 70s when I'm travelling)

Or you could fly Southwest. No fees for first 2 bags. :)

You can do it! I took a carryon for a 10 day trip to London
- Tamara
I travel with one carry-on bag and my laptop bag for all of my work trips. It can definitely be done.

Because I used to work for a courier company that delivered lost luggage for all the airlines, I don't believe in checked baggage. Cotton knits and ziplock bags are your friend. Seal everything up in them and squish all the air out of them so it takes up a lot less space. Pack a small travel steamer.
- April
Was going to go to the library today to get a book or 5 to take with me on the trip. Apparently they don't open until 2p on Sundays. BOO!
Why not just download the reading app for your laptop and go via Amazon?
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Because I like books. The physicality of them, I mean. There's something about eating breakfast and drinking coffee and reading a book in a strange city that isn't the same when you replace "book" with "electronic device". Dunno why.
- FFing Enigma
I held this thought until I broke down and got a Kindle. The portability and the one case I purchased with a stand made me a believer. I still like the physical nature of holding a large book in my hand but the ease of many books for travel changed my mind.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Since I'm not checking a bag for the trip I decided against taking my skates: too bulky and too heavy. To make up for missing 6 hours practice before the 2/26 game I've decided to head over to the local community center which has drop-in passes for non-members. $5 a day for weight and cardio, and $5 a session for group classes.
I can do cardio and possibly weights at the hotel, but am intrigued by the group classes. The ones I'm eyeballing are Monday night Bodyshaper, Wednesday night Pilates, and Thursday night yoga. Maybe I can steal (er.... LEARN) some new exercises to bring home to the team!!

Alright, operation "Squeeze An Elephant Into A Handbag" is complete. My 14 x 9 x 22 carryon is stuffed with 2 pairs of shoes, a winter coat, 5 pairs of pants, 4 sweaters, 2 sets of workout clothes, and various socks and undies. I'm off an inch on two dimensions but I think I'll squeeze by. Remember the days of the garmet bag? Miss those...
Sounds like the usual weather here to me. Nice one day cold the next. Sometimes it happens all on the same day.
- Brian
ToDo list before I fly out: laundry, pack, go buy some socks (do they make any that say TSA SUX on the toes?), clean the litter box, go grocery shopping so Dave has available food, have a wonderful dinner with my family, and make a double batch of spaghetti sauce so Dave has food already prepared while I'm gone.
That last one was his idea, not mine.
- FFing Enigma
Am procrastinating by searching for places in KC and adding them to my Google Map for the trip. Just added Fluffy Fresh Doughnuts. I see this as pure win.
Have also added Scooter's Coffee House. So far I've got doughnuts, coffee, BBQ, Target, grocery store, and skating rinks. Anything else I should look up while I'm there? OH WAIT! BEER!
- FFing Enigma
ALRIGHT! Have found a place called Old Chicago that's supposed to have a good beer list and great pizza. I think I might be set!
- FFing Enigma
Going through all the stuff I brought home from work to take on the trip. Super wireless mouse and receiver? Check. Pens and post its? Check. Crackers and stash of dum-dums? Check. Power supply for laptop? Fuck! Off to the office I go... =/
*sings* I'm goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City, here I come/Yes, goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City, here I come/...They got a crazy way a-lovin' an' a I wanna get me some..." *curtsies* Have fun!
- Anika
I'm hoping so! I've spent my down moments at work making a Google map that will get me from the hotel to wherever I might need to roam next week: good barbeque, coffee, the nearest Target, a decent skating rink. Still undecided on taking my skates...
- FFing Enigma
One of the skating rinks I used to go when I was a kid was in Overland Park. It was nice. I wonder if it's still there.

Dear $3.49 premade salad from Publix: you are quite tasty, and pair nicely with the bottle of Robust Italian and li'l bag of bacon bits I bought. Noms!
Just received my new-to-me laptop for work. Had to have it since I'm traveling next week but am not thrilled about it since it means work is now officially portable =/ With that said: IT'S CROWDSOURCING TIME!! I need your best FREE file mgmnt system to sync files between my desktop and the lappie. Docs only, not worried about email. GO
If you're looking for an automatic, always-synced type of system, Dropbox is the best (though, it does have a limit on total capacity). If you're looking for something you can sync manually back and forth between the two (either over a network or with the use of an external drive in between), SyncBack is an awesome choice.
- Curdy G
Well hell, dropbox... and maybe Evernote?
- MoTO Bott
Dropbox ... Or set up an S3 account and write a script that syncs stuff to it. Or FTP to it using S3 fox
- tiffany
Alright, after a bit of playing around it appear that the desktop and lappie will in fact see each other on the network, which I have to say surprised me a bit. So this means SyncBack is a very viable option for pushing copies from one to the other. Since SB will let me automate the process (at least, it did last time I used it), what are the selling points for DB over SB?
- FFing Enigma
Do you use roaming profiles at work? I've seen trouble with DB when roaming profiles are enabled, since the files cache can get a bit out of hand if you don't have it directed somewhere other than the default. (no experience with SB)
- Jennifer Dittrich
I've never used SyncBack. I've tried Dropbox, JungleDisk, and a number of other suck utilities. I keep coming back to Dropbox because it's the simplest one out there, and I have no need to muck around with it. It Just Works.
- I like big Botts
The advantages of Dropbox over SyncBack (as far as I'm concerned) are: 1) Dropbox is Web-accessible, as well; so you can access your files from another computer if need be. 2) You can share your files with other Dropbox users. 3) It is fully automatic (as soon as a file changes on one box, it's synced on the other box).
- Curdy G
The advantages of SyncBack over Dropbox are: 1) SyncBack has no limits. Sync as much as you want as often as you want. 2) SyncBack allows you to keep files in a folder without syncing them. You choose exactly which files sync and which don't.
- Curdy G
Edit: Windows Live *Mesh* works like a charm. You get 5GB and it works with your SkyDrive which is 25GB. You can access your files from the web, share files, and you can remotely control your other computers if you want. That is built in.
- Eric
I love Dropbox. I wish more people (at least my fellow classmates) used it so we could share stuff more easily.
- Derrick
From the Director of Corporate Communications at SugarSync when I asked him why SugarSync over DropBox: 1) The reason why most people only use the free version of Dropbox is because it forces users to adopt a new behavior -- you have to learn to drag and drop everything into your special "Dropbox" folder, thus saving it in 2 places (the folder you normally save it in, i.e., My...

- SAM
And Live Mesh storage limit is only for the cloud, direct machine to machine syncs is unlimited
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
SAM, Dropbox does have selective folders for sync now https://www.dropbox.com/help... . Users can treat their Dropbox folder as the root for all their data and select subdirectories within as designated to be backed up.
