Spelling is so critical in certain posts... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Nice! - Yvonne
DuckCam Woo-ooo (now I have Ducktails eaworm) - Hedgehog
Perhaps I've straying too much on Tumblr lately. My mind went where it shouldn'ta. (Also, I don't know if that's the proper idiomatic spelling of "shouldn'ta" as a contracted version of "shouldn't of" which is a incorrect idiomatic usage for "shouldn't have"... but I digress.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Napping with the baby pretty much always wins out over any other activity.
Yes ma'am, it certainly does. It continues to do so on into at least the 18th year of life, though you have to pick bigger spaces on which to nap. I remember when he just laid on my chest while I laid on the couch. That's just no longer possible. Enjoy it while you've got it!! - WebGoddess
A wise choice. I always used to get a kind of contact-high sleepiness just from laying down next to him, even after we stopped nursing. Always wondered what that was. - Laura Norvig

Just reading the Movers & Shakers and this jumped out at me: "Lauren Britton is 'transforming the role of public libraries and inspiring a generation of librarians,' says nominator Joe Murphy. 'She also has a nice shirt.'" Thought that was a little odd.
"I liked the way the shirt moved and shaked." - Andy
I can totally see that as a quick tossed-off joshing among friends, but I wonder at LJ's editorial judgment in printing it. - RepoRat
NO... REALLY? - jambina
I just checked, following RR's comment. No, that's just Steve interjecting. - DJF
(unless, of course, the online profile is different from the print one) - DJF
heh, okay. I been punkt. - RepoRat
It's ok. Next year's Movers & Shakers will feature a swimsuit competition. - Andy
Sorry, kind of an inside joke. Joey Digits used to use that as a conversational entree to chatting up women. - Steele Lawman
No worries. I deserved that punkin'. :) - RepoRat
DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT - jambina
But, can she make a mean pot of chili? - Yo. Shark Dog.
oh, SNAP, Joe. - Catherine Pellegrino
Now I want to see the opening paragraph for Julia Childs' obituary. If you're going to start any woman's obituary talking about her cooking skills, that's the one that would make the most sense. :P - Andy

Am I the only person who is going to use this opportunity to unhook myself from RSS readers? - Chris Z.
If I thought of GReader as a "newsreader," I might very well agree with that post. But I don't: For me, it's a blog reader--I get news other ways (including, ahem, the daily paper, even if no longer in print). I'm loathe to give that up. And there's no way on Earth or elsewhere that I'm checking 918 places once a day. Not gonna happen. - Walt Crawford

I'm so proud of this. We now, officially, have a Seed Library at La Crosse. http://video.news8000.com/watch...
This effort was conceived, planned and being brought off by Rochelle's team! Proud of my staff-mates! - Marge LW
All I did was say, "run with it!" And so they did. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro

I just had a thought. I have brownie mix. I have nutella. I have cream cheese icing in a can. I can make nutella brownies with cream cheese icing. Screw being alone (if only by circumstance and not because I'm not actually in a relationship) on V-Day. I'm going to make, and eat, those brownies tomorrow night. And I'm going to LOVE THEM.

Rochelle, one of my Nashville friends just posted a link on fb to the seed library. Very cool!
I tossed it up on my Facebook after our Hillview Urban Ag Center FBed it https://www.facebook.com/home.... People are sharing like crazy..cuz it's cool! - Marge LW
Plus I am encouraging the staff movers and shakers to John-Cotton-Dana it next year. It is going to be amazing on every level - concept, collaboration, sustainability and libraries. Pole dancing and butchering will pal. - Marge LW
how cool! we're doing an episode of NCompass Live next month about setting up a seed saving program at a Nebraska library: http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts... - Christa
Semi-serious question: has Monsanto really not tried to police/prevent these groups? - Meg V. Meg
If they're not circulating patented seeds, it shouldn't be an issue, but I'd be interested in how the intake process works. - Rachel Walden
the library in Nebraska is partnered with the Seed Savers Exchange, who works with heirloom seeds. so maybe not competition for Monsanto? - Christa
seed library - is this part of your serials collection? - maʀtha
Yeah, I was wondering if/how they have to prove that the seeds are what they say they are. - Meg V. Meg
do they bear tiny call #s? or acquisition #s? I know people inscribe things on grains of rice - maʀtha
Years ago, when I got my serials acquisitions job, my friend Mark thought this is what I did, for realz - acquire seeds and grains for a library collection. - maʀtha
cereals acquisition! - Rachel Walden

you guys. our new library website went live this week. along with it is a public Minecraft server. the guys in the IT dept got a hold of the plans for our main library AND BUILT IT. they are still working on getting the inside done. geekery at its finest, folks.

your IT dept is full of win. - RepoRat
they most certainly are (note: i am biased because i live with one of them. :)) Info if you are a player and want to check it out: http://fvrl.ent.sirsi.net/client... - holly #ravingfangirl
Just like real life, I'm sure it has Creepers. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki... - Andy
it's a public library - of course it has creepers! - holly #ravingfangirl
I'm sure they just want to get near you and, uh, explode. - Andy
Even though I have root, I wish I could do stuff like this (and have it count). I miss those days. Awesome work, FVRL. - Julian
That's freakin' awesome!! - WebGoddess
Mr. 12 might want to blow it up. - Yo. Shark Dog.
heh. there may be measures in place to prevent that. ;) - holly #ravingfangirl

never doubt an admin who has been a minecrafter server admin for years. ;) - holly #ravingfangirl
Awesome! - Betsy #TeamMonique
that is cool. - Rochelle's favorite Royce
I just emailed the admin to request access for my kid to the server. Gee, I really hope they whitelist his name for it. - Yo. Shark Dog.
Kid stopped for a visit. We did snap some pics to prove he was there. Will upload them later. He wondered what is the deal with he door at the top.... - Yo. Shark Dog.

The two kids books I looked at only come in kid sizes. Why? - Betsy #TeamMonique
Betsy, I found that some of the shop-by-title links linked only to the kids' size, but when I looked under "unisex/mens"... there that same shirt was! of course, maybe you already tried that... - Marianne
Ah no. I only looked by title and didn't bother looking any further. Thanks. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Huh. I looked at this again today (for an assignment), and they'd fixed some book-by-title pages that weren't fixed last week - either a vast coincidence, or they are super on top of social media scanning. :D - Marianne

YAY YAY YAY! Listening now. I have such a huge smile on my face. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Hahaha at MC not believing Scott was ever that short. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
lol...please give us honest feedback. it's the only way we will improve. - Mary Carmen
Will do. (And why aren't we hanging out more????) I have questions. Can I subscribe to this? Like in the podcast app or whathaveyou? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Stephen, if you use itunes, this might work itpc://nycethings.podbean.com/feed/ or you could just do http://nycethings.podbean.com/feed... (I've never used podbean before so this might take a couple of tries). - Scott. Cat Herder.
If you drop the itpc link in a browser it should try to open itunes. - Scott. Cat Herder.
Hmm, itpc://nycethings.podbean.com/feed/ doesn't do anything in Chrome (just does a google search). - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
W00T! :) - Steven Perez
Stephen, in iTunes : File -> subscribe to podcast, drop link in there? Maybe? - Scott. Cat Herder.
Scott, thanks -- trying now. (Took me way too long to get the Menus back on in iTunes 11, grr.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yup, worked! Woot. (And much better than trying to stream it from podbean.com, it kept cutting out.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Looks like nycethings.com/feed is gonna work in my podcatcher. - Jason P
Nope! it doesn't. But the podbean URL does. - Jason P
Listening now... - Heleninstitches
I'm pretty sure NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was nearly everyone's first terrifying movie ever. - Steven Perez
I am glad that I am not alone. - Mary Carmen
Wait, OUT OF AFRICA *isn't* a horror movie?!? - Steven Perez
Good choice of the favorite, Scott. - Steven Perez
First horror movie I ever saw: Children of the Corn. Favorite horror movie: Dawn of the Dead (1978). - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Good choices. - Mary Carmen
I can't like this enough. - Jason P
I am glad you're enjoying. - Mary Carmen
So awesome. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
First horror movie: DRACULA (1931). First terrifying movie that kept me up all night: FREAKS. Favorite horror movie: THE THING (1982). - Steven Perez
Fabulous choices, Bunneh. - Mary Carmen
Suggestion for future podcast: worst horror movie you two have ever seen. :) - Steven Perez
Totally agree, Freaks is a scary movie. - Scott. Cat Herder.
Oh we can get a list going. - Mary Carmen
I don't remember the first horror movie. Amityville Horror was scary at the time. Halloween. Oh I loved Dream Warriors. With Dokken haha. - Rodfather
I cannot say or think the words "Dream Warriors" without hearing Dokken in my head...in fact that is how the title sounds to me. - Mary Carmen
When video rental stores arrived, it was like a free for all. Could watch everything. - Rodfather
Truth. - Mary Carmen
Yeah, that was such a game changer. (And my kids just won't understand.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I like your summary of the movies you discussed in the blog post (http://nycethings.com/we-need...) but I want to see some kind of rating system where you each give a score of 1-5 chainsaws or something. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Good suggestion. We will have to think of something clever to call it....Nyce something something... - Mary Carmen
I wouldn't object to buying a house where a murder happened. I did a quick search -- in Florida, there's this statute: http://flsenate.gov/laws... -- so they don't have to disclose there at least. I bet it varies state by state. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I totally missed it, where did you discuss why MC hates DisneyWorld? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
because Nightmare on Elm Street ruined it for me. - Mary Carmen
Ah, my listening comprehension must be low. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I probably could have explained it better, but I was too busy laughing. - Mary Carmen
I can't wait to listen to this. - Jason P
I can't wait to hear your feedback, Jason. - Mary Carmen
Watched Apartment 143 thanks to your recommendation. Good flick. Had no idea it was made in Madrid until the credits. Freaked me out that the doctor was Danny from Caddyshack. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I don't like scary movies but I like the Nyces. Can I listen and not be scared? Plots of scary movies often interest me, but the being scared part does not. - Royce's favorite Anna
I'm not a horror fan, but I enjoyed the show nonetheless :-) - Heleninstitches
Good episode. You'll get your rhythm once you get a few shows in. The first few episodes of Random Time Lords were ***very*** rough, but once you get going, it's easy. Small caveat: don't be afraid to get in close to the microphone. It will make editing easier. - Steven Perez
Brilliant! And now I'm completely distracted from my homework. :) <3 - Hookuh Tinypants
It was great! I kept wanting to talk back to you. - Jason P
Thanks, Jason! - Mary Carmen
We're actually iTunes official an all that :). - Scott. Cat Herder.

Budget Bytes: taco chicken bowls $10.66 recipe / $1.33 serving
Made this today for lunches or dinners this week - it's really good. I wish I'd used a bit more cayenne for heat, since it's not quite spicy enough for me, but it's still very good. - ellbeecee from Bookmarklet
totally making this tomorrow. rock. - jambina
Ooh, yeah - I also used 2 cans of black beans instead of just one, since I'm a major fan of black beans. :) - ellbeecee
made this again yesterday because it's so easy to use for dinners/lunches in various ways (tonight I'm using it for quesadillas and leaving out the rice). I also used my usual salsa brand (Herdez Salsa Casera, medium) instead of the one from last time that was good, but this is better - has more kick to it :) - ellbeecee
just mixed this all up with turkey breasts i got at the market. can't wait. - jambina
Has Kendra been alerted to the blog author's Sriracha t-shirt? - Jason P
i want this to be ready NAO - jambina
could i substitute canned corn for frozen? that's the only thing I don't have.... - ~Courtney F
Oh, I only use canned corn becausewhen I buy frozen I spill it all over the damn place. :) so, yes. - ellbeecee
excellent! I know what we're having for dinner tomorrow! - ~Courtney F
oh. my. gawd. this is so yummy. - jambina
Just assembled it all in crock. Except I subbed one can of black lentils in place of a second can of black beans. And my jar of salsa is Mrs Renfros Ghost Peppers!! - Lnorigb from FFHound!
I made this yesterday for dinner tonight. It smells so good, I can't wait to eat it later. - Mary Carmen
dang it, you guys keep talking about this so now i am craving it. - holly #ravingfangirl
put this in the slow cooker this morning - I had everything in my freezer/cabinets, which is good because we're at the point in the month where there's more month left than paycheck, and this should easily get me to Thursday for lunches/dinners. - ellbeecee
Just Kidée: Road Warrior
"A little like a Mexican sloppy Joe, this juicy shredded beef is best sandwiched in crusty French rolls and topped with cabbage, red onion, sliced tomato, cilantro, and sour cream. Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes, plus 8 to 10 hours in the slow-cooker. Notes: Chipotle sauce, made by San Marcos, Knorr, and other brands, can be found at Whole Foods and Mexican markets or on MexGrocer.com. Save extra sauce from recipe to top Mexican rice or cooked pinto beans." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet
Made these last night without the jalapenos and with mild salsa (the boys don't like spicy) and they turned out great. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior
Oh, that looks GOOD. #nom - Catherine Pellegrino
The Guy just messaged me and said this is really good over rice. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup Recipe | Made this recipe tonight. It came out AWESOME!!! I'm very pleased!! Two notes, it did seem to need the full 10 hours to cook and also, I did strain some of the fat/water off the top at the end before mixing it all together. - http://cullyskitchen.com/slow-co...

made this tonight. yummy! but mine didn't take as long as it said at all. i checked it at 7 hours and it was done. probably was done earlier, but i didn't think of checking it. i used a ham steak, and chicken broth instead of water, so didn't add any salt. - Christa
Christa, I do wish more slow cookers had similar temps. Low on one can be medium on another and so on. My old slow cooker I often felt that Low was really too high, it would often hit a rolling boil, which is not what low should do. When I researched my current slow cooker, I was looking for one where the low setting was rated as actually low. I'm pretty happy with it, but I should likely start making notes that my cooker might take longer than others. Sorry about that. :) - Rachel Lea Fox
