The question I ask every spring: where the heck are my sandals?
Found them. Now, where's my bathing suit? - Betsy #TeamMonique
I last used it a year ago. I suspect there's a new bathing suit in my near future. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Found it. Can barely squeeze into it. Damn. - Betsy #TeamMonique
I always know where my sandals are, but that's because I use them as slippers all year long. Speaking of that, it's probably about time to go buy myself a new pair of sandals (since I use them so much, they tend to only last about a year) - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Is there any way to add stairmill or regular stairs to Runkeeper? Good news: the gym has added rowing machines. I'll have to try them out sometime.
I tried the rowing machine tonight after the treadmill. I like I like! - Betsy #TeamMonique
The website for the rowers has several training videos (not just How To but also How Not To) and a series of beginner workouts. skihttp://www.concept2.com/indoor-... - Betsy #TeamMonique
Flickr question: given that the front page, after login, keeps loading pictures whenever I scroll all the way down... how do I get to the links at the bottom of the page? (Oh wait, after about 6 times of scrolling to the bottom it finally stopped infinitying.)
Tonight in CERT monthly meeting, we had weather spotter training (previously scheduled). If you're interested in seeing what it's like, you can take the course online: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/trainin... (Apparently, it's not official until you take the course in person. It seems to depend on your local authorities.)
Ah, the exquisite pain at the back of the thighs that follows the day after weeding.
I read that as "wedding" about six times. I assumed you were some sort of reception limbo champion! Alas. - Soup in a TARDIS
At work, 90+% of the spam I get is in Russian. That's makes it really easy to sort and delete the spam folders. So, thank you Russian spammers.
The REI tent I was going to buy next year is on 25% sale now. I guess it's now next year. EDIT: 25% off.
The tent has been acquired. - Betsy #TeamMonique from FFHound(roid)!

Going through boxes and boxes (and boxes) of VHS tapes filled with TV shows taped off the air. I wish I had been more organized when I taped them, so I could let myself keep some. Unfortunately, when you're programming the taping of a night's worth of stuff on one tape, you can't organize.
So far, I've come across (besides lots of DW, Avengers, B5, TNG, and DS9): Young Indiana Jones, Burning Zone, Time Trax, Seeing Things, Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, KFTLC, Nero Wolfe, Equalizer, X-Files, VR5, Sandbaggers, Quantum Leap, Legend (Richard Dean Anderson), MST3K, Strange Luck, Mapp and Lucia, Over My Dead Body (Edward Woodward). - Betsy #TeamMonique
I wish Seeing Things would come out on DVD. I still get the theme song stuck in my head once in a while. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Betsy #TeamMonique
More random episodes found: Nowhere Man, Lazarus Man, Leaving L.A., lots of Forever Knight, Pretender, Psi Factor, Poltergeist, Profiler, Brimstone, Millennium, Strange World, Spy Game. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Tried to inflate the bike tires. One is fine. The other is not. I guess I get to learn how to replace... something. I'm thinking I might practice patching it, so I know how to do it on the road, then go ahead and replace it. I'll have to look for some instructional video tonight.
Friend at work handed me the DVD of Twenty Twelve. She was right. One episode in, and I like it a lot.
Episode 2: the Brazilian translator was great! - Betsy #TeamMonique
I've been putzing around at home this morning, but it's time to start getting things done if I expect to enjoy my time off. Looked at the clock, said out loud, "It's nine o'clock" and the voice in my mind finished the announcement, "...and the library is now open."

One Photo That Proves That Dogs Feel Gratitude
"Eva, who works as a foster mom for Badass Brooklyn Foster Dog, rescued this one-eyed dachshund mix from a high-kill shelter in Alabama. She fell in love, bringing him back to her farm in Pennsylvania and naming him Captain Morgan. Captain was eventually adopted by an awesome couple a few months ago, and it’s been happy-ever-after since. The couple brought Captain to a Badass Brooklyn block party where he was reunited with the woman who saved his life. As soon as he saw Eva, he jumped into her arms to say “thank you.”" - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet

"College & University | CA, USA | (My professor is a harsh grader and very few of his students ever do well on a quiz, despite him showing us exactly what each one will look like. He also has a habit of starting class up to five minutes early. That he even waited until the proper starting time for class today was unusual.) Professor: “Oh, just a minute. I’ve left something in my office.” (The professor leaves and comes back several minutes later with a stack of papers.) Professor: “Alright. We’re going to have a pop quiz today. It’ll be worth 20 points, so try your best.” Classmate: “Will this count against us, or is it just extra credit?” Professor: “Well, let me put it this way: if you get this wrong, you shouldn’t expect to do well in class.” (20 points is a lot in his class, so we’re all anxious, until we see what the questions are. “Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb” and “How long does it take to cook a 3-minute-egg” are among the hardest he’s asking.) Professor: “The most important... more... - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet

"Albion has to close its high school for lack of money: http://michiganradio.org/post... Inkster is laying off all its teachers for lack of money: http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013... Buena Vista closed for lack of money. Willow Run and Ypsilanti are teetering on the edge of closing for lack of money. Does everyone see the pattern here?" - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet

There's a monster in your attic? - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Sleep well tonight. :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone
(I'm so glad this isn't mine. OTOH, I've been hearing some odds thumps, which I've been attributing to the next door kids galloping up and the down the stairs. Maybe I should check my attic?) - Betsy #TeamMonique
Wells Fargo bank foreclosing on Orlando man who paid on time,... | www.wftv.com - http://www.wftv.com/news...
"Three days after Eyewitness News contacted Wells Fargo, bank representative Veronica Clemons sent a statement: "For some loans, completing trial payments is a significant step toward a permanent modification; however, in this instance, the loan was part of a mortgage-backed security and in a protected pool, with specific payment guidelines. We are working with Mr. Syldor to explain the guidelines and explore options that may help." The bank told Eyewitness News Syldor didn't follow the modification guidelines because he paid early and sometimes his payments were sent one on top of the other." - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet
"Perception," with Eric McCormack. We just got season 1 at the library. Worth watching?

Okay, so maybe this wasnt the movie to watch when I have a headache. I'll have to rewatch it tomorrow.
Off to do a Laughter Club program at the senior center.

National Treasure + man from the past + supernatural elements + historical conspiracy + Headless Horseman of the Apocalypse + modern cop show. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Huh. That's quite a premise. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Go to Google Images and google the words 'atari breakout' without the quotes.
"Then right there, right up to the houses, [ice] crawling over the ground like something out of a sci-fi thriller. It's crawling up the walls of the house. In ts that ice was three feet deep forcing itself into the house. It sounds like a train. Damaging the walls and breaking the window." Video:...

Here's another video of moving ice, from 3 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Betsy #TeamMonique

Oxygen Stepmill Routine – Taming The Beast | Femme Fitale™ Fit Club Blog
"This routine I found in my November 2011 issue of Oxygen Magazine (perfect timing) and pulled it out of the archives and plan to work this today at the gym before it gets too late. Try it and tell me how you like it. The routine only had the Speed/Level and since my machine has it by Steps per Minute I added a translation column" - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet
That's twice in two days Google Maps has failed me. Good thing I could tell both times. The first one, it said to go 1.5 miles west when it's actually 1 block east. The second time, right street address, wrong town (2 miles away).
Oh wait, today is Sunday! I thought it was Monday. Yay!
That is the best mistake ever! Enjoy your day :-) - Heleninstitches
Thanks! - Betsy #TeamMonique
