Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I was looking for last week. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble
Alex: last week I saw this shit happening. It's going to get far worse for most people. Far worse. But at least I live in California where it's nice weather. :-) - Robert Scoble
I guess my point about the whole "death spiral" thing, Robert, is that you've never been a pessimist. Look at all the big events in your life previous to this one. Not one of them before this caused you to say "we're doomed" so why now? You've always taken the hits and misses of your life by reflecting on your own life and making things better for those around you...so what's new this time? - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

to increase should Obama be elected. I’m scared to know how many people who think like that really exist, even if they’re not all stupid enough to get recorded issuing death threats at a political rally. - Nine (sawsome aus)
I know, because I grew up with those people. There’s your smalltown values for you. I’m scared of what would happen if Obama isn’t elected, what sort of impact this is going to have on foreign policy, women’s rights, gay rights, etcetera, etcetera. Etcetera. - Nine (sawsome aus)

Village Inn makes a good pecan pie. Mmmmmmm, pecan pie ... - Steven Perez
and you mentioning has given me a craving now ;) - chet
Thanks! I'll check out the local restaurants around here to see if I can get a slice of pie to go. :) - Cheryl Jones
Pecan pie is easy to make, too. The recipe on the Karo syrup bottle makes people faint sometimes. If you're really daring, substitute maple syrup for part of the corn syrup. - ha3rvey (That One)
I found a Bakers Square and picked up a slice of pecan pie, but unfortunately, I'm too full from my lunch to eat it right now! Oh well, in a few hours I'll have a nice snack. :D - Cheryl Jones
It did work! At least for the rest of today. Going to bed soon and then I'm in class all day tomorrow. Hopefully, the doldrums won't return. Plus, I got drugs today to offset the sickies. - Lisa L. Seifert
we pay good money to NOT looky hippy and they're giving instructions on how to do that? uhm, no thanks. - .·*♥pea♥*·.
i get the "how" , still working on the "why?" :) - Naor
it's better than a cliche sexy nun/nurse/hooker outfit. or maybe not - Cee Bee
cee bee you're right. i've always ranted on how halloween has morphed into dress like a skank day. i wrote a blog post on it last year. i do openly mock women who dress skanky for halloween. there's just no call for it and 99.9999% of them really don't look sexy. - Faboo Mama
I would only disagree with his opinion of rolling suitcases. I've been travelling pretty heavily for the last month, and I am growing to hate rolling suitcases. Onebag.com confirms my opinion of them: that the handle mechanism and wheels take up space within the bag. I travel strictly carry-on, so I'm a little biased. Also, consider that most regional jets have small overheads, and wheeled bags may not fit, forcing you to do the dreaded "gate check". - ha3rvey (That One)
Blanket parties are most frequently conducted by groups within the military or military academies. In a blanket party, the victim is restrained by having a blanket flung over him and held down at the corners while he sleeps, then the remaining members of the group strike him repeatedly with improvised "flails" (a sock or bath towel containing something solid, most commonly a bar of soap). - Kyle Hebert
Actually, about four months behind. This is a discussion first had exhaustively in June. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
We've had it since the primary Mark, however the new nasty rhetoric since last week is really an entirely new level. - Erin Kotecki Vest
Actually, this is because CNN's David Gergen was talking about it last night. So not quite 24 hours behind us. - Robert Scoble
try four DAYS. you and i both put out big pieces on this Tuesday morning - Baratunde Thurston
The McCain/Palin campaign's actions in the past week or two and today's "response" disgusts me. To defend people's calls to "kill Obama" and the lies about his terrorist links is indefensible and just plain disgusting. Way worse than I ever thought they'd go. - Clint Ecker
You're totally right Baratunde. Geez. It's all a blur of me seeing red and smoke coming out my ears. - Erin Kotecki Vest
“Went to IHOP tonight and had an omelet. Learning to navigate vegetarian eating has proven somewhat difficult in bohunk KS this week. I will be purchasing a good cookbook soon so I don't completely starve. My meat cravings are passing slowly.”
i think going veg is much easier than it was 20 years ago, when there was so much emphasis on making sure you got enough protein by combining foods (dairy + whole grain). - r0ch3LL3
I'm new. Started while I was on the meditation retreat and had no choice about food. But decided to stick with it. I can tell a difference in how I feel already. - JMakesAwesomeSauce
right on! welcome to the club! i'm happy to help with any questions, advice, etc...i've been veg for 16 years now, and can't even think about going back. - Trent Olson
do we have a vegetarian room yet on ff? i looked for one a while back, but couldn't find it. - Trent Olson
You're right Rochelle. And there are so many more options in most grocery stores. - JMakesAwesomeSauce
i've had many an awesome veggie burger, too, Jeff! - Trent Olson
Maybe you should start one Trent. It'd be a great place to share recipes and other tipes. - JMakesAwesomeSauce
i love morningstar. were i to go veggie, i'd buy even more of their stuff than i do now. - Kaia is done being sick.
I'm having a hard time finding Morningstar around here. Might have to try our local coop. I plan to start shopping there more often anyway. - JMakesAwesomeSauce
Good luck. My wife is a Vegetarian. She can make a Veggie meal at any restaurant. Most places will replace the burger with a veggie burger if asked. Good luck on the move. I don't think I could give up meat myself. - Christopher Welle
JMS -- I missed this post -- how is it going? I've been veg since '89, so feel free to ask if you want any advice or support or whatever. (and Morningstar is likely not to be at Coop, it's a Kraft brand, but it is in weird place sin supermarket. Check by their breakfast foods) - rudibrarian
I'm doing pretty good. I've found the Morningstar stuff. Here it's in produce for the refrigerated stuff. I found a great cookbook that will be going on my Christmas list. And I'll probably be asking questions though. Thanks so much Rudibrarian. It's amazing how much better I feel since cutting out the meat. - JMakesAwesomeSauce
My wife does really well at restaurants. She just asks for the meat on the side and then gives it to me. ;) - Christopher Welle
