Actually, as far as I can tell, Like in FB does do something: it's basically an empty comment, so you get notified of new comments that occur after you Like it.

@Glen: it's true but what bothers me most is that unlike friendfeed, fb delivers a separate mail for every person that comments on that post. #lame

Do your balls hang low? do they wabble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knott? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a contenental solgier? Do your nuts hang low?
- Fake Elmo
Nuts or balls, Elmo? (I bet that gets said all the time)
- Josh Haley
Those would be far more impressive than the set dangling from the back of my pickup currently. Is there anything more classy than a scrotum hanging from the back of your car.

"Fondo Colanco is a private ranch that I visited on the day of the Spring castration. We watched about 30 bulls get snipped and then retired to a barn for the day. We stripped the balls from the scrota, taking them to a giant plow set over an open wood fire for searing in oil, garlic, and chiles before parking them between two homemade rolls for hand sandwiches. The scrota were sauteed...

- Josh Haley
Did you know that during the end credits of Borat, there is a picture like this, of a different woman in a similar hat cupping a bull's balls? I found that very interesting and now am trying to figure out what the real meaning of it all is.

the meaning is... wow, never felt balls like it... :P

I don't think I've seen a picture of the two of you together yet? Are you afraid that much awesome would be too much for your pitiful cyber minions?
- RAPatton
We are actually not in the same place at the same time all that often.....well, unless its a saturday or sunday, and then we are in my living room. but at work we don't see one another as often as you may think. The pic from the retreat has both of us in it.
- Mary Carmen
That look is normally for when you didn't want someone to take your picture. How you managed to it by yourself is just impressive. :)

THANK YOU. That is exactly what I was going for. We all know I have no shame. I just felt like participating.

Love donuts, but I couldn't block you for that, MC. :D Now not liking fudge...

I have no interest in donuts. a cannoli is tough to pass up.

Cannolis, napoleons, cupcakes. no donuts..
- Mary Carmen
is it a texture thing and you don't like yeast or old-fashioned?
- Katie
That's ok. I'm very particular about donuts - there are a lot I won't eat. I spent one summer working at the bakery at the grocery store. I frosted donuts every morning at 4/5 am. I can't even eat baked goods from that place anymore. Donuts have to be pretty high quality for me to eat them, and even then I pretty much stick to cake donuts.
- Katy S
but you would not pass up a piece of cake now would you?
- VAL D. Zone
While that makes me cringe, I won't block you. Your too important here.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Yes, I will totally block you. Wait. That means more for me. Never mind, carry on.
- Derrick
think of it this way folks more donuts for us............yaayyyyyyyyyyyy
- VAL D. Zone
trying to think if i have blocked anyone before ...... good i do not eat donuts!
- Tatty Gibson
Forgiven... your waistline is no doubt better for it.

I'm not a big donut fan either! I do like cinnamon rolls (do they count?). There is one place on the boardwalk in Carolina Beach that makes the plain glazed donuts hot and fresh. They are just wonderful. It's always odd to be standing there in a swimsuit eating donuts. http://www.carolinabeach.net/britts1...

Getting ready to try Dr. Bronner's Hemp Almond wash...we'll see how it goes though the baking soda works great too I just love the smell of sweet almond.

Lush Trichomania shampoo, usually tresemme conditioner because I bought a great big bottle.
- ÉllbeeÇee
Nioxin. Sounds like a clinical drug and smells minty!
- Arlan Koizumi
At the moment, I'm slowly working my way through all of the little bottles I have from hotels. I might re-evaluate my next purchase based on this experience.
- Katy S
i shave my head, so just plain old soap, :/

p.s. Nothing is cheaper than baking soda. Nothing

my scalp is way too sensitive from chemo/rads to even try to think about baking soda.

TRESemme ColourThrive. I was using Burt's Bees, but I hated the way it made my hair feel. I switched to ColourThrive after my most recent colour treatment.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
Pert Plus S/C Fine... or Aussie. Used to like L'Oreal ColorVive when I dyed my hair.
- Jenthemum
None. My hair is so short, it never needs more than a good rinsing. Helps keep the natural hair oils balanced as well.
- CAJ, somewhere else
Whatever Mum buys. Currently she's on a Tresemmé kick. Probably because it was half-price at the store the other week, I think we have enough bottles to last us through a nuclear apocalypse. We might not be able to eat but at least well have thick, luxurious, run-your-fingers-through-it hair
- Bryce Roney
My wife & I both use Biolage Normalizing--after many years of using separate shampoos, this one works great for both of us. She uses a Biolage conditioner; I don't need a conditioner.
- Walt Crawford
Pantene Pro-V...started in high school. Occasionally switch to give my hair a change but haven't found anything else that worked as well. Usually the smooth and sleek
- Abigail
Garnier Fructise for normal hair. Occasionally, I'll use a random Target shampoo to clarify it, but that's infrequent. Brandon uses some Tea Tree Oil thing I got him at Whole Foods, 'cause his scalp is picky.
- ~Courtney F.
Some brand (change a lot), but I've been heavily considering giving the baking soda & vinegar thing a try.
- Lo
Rene Friis, Intensive Repair for both shampoo and conditioner. My hair is a delicate flower... or some blather like that...
- Bette Cooper
ABBA Pure Color Protect shampoo and conditioner
- holly
Kroger version of Head and Shoulders for guys lucky to still have hair left.
- Morgan Haley
Pantene, or whatever I have a coupon for.
- Nurse Katie
that stuff in a green neon bottle frutis or something
- VAL D. Zone
I like the high end stuff from the hairdresser (Pureology) but these days its pushing $30/bottle. So it L'Oreal for me.
- Shannon
Right now, I have Suave I think. I need to find something fragrance/chemical free because I super sensitive skin.
- tab thinks you're awesome
is pureology good? i can get that cheap, but never have used it myself
- Morgan Haley
I use Aveda, it's just about one of the few 'regular' brands that don't make my scalp super unhappy. I've also had really good luck with all of the Lush shampoos, just not when I dye my hair.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner, alternating with Neutragena T-Gel.
- Jason Huebel
I generally use Sunsilk. I got Suave Professionals the last time I got shampoo and conditioner, but I've not been impressed with it. I'll be switching back to Sunsilk when I run out.
- Curtiss Grymala
Griffin Remedy. No parabens, no petrochemicals, no SLS, and it smells heavenly.

I swear I'm now doing laundry all the time! We're very lucky that we have our own facilities. Most people on base take there laundry to a drop off place and a company washes it and then returns it in about 72 hours. I just have to wait for a washer and/or dryer to open up. This day I got lucky! There were two washers open!
And just because I took them, you can see my technique for storing my uniforms...a giant pile. And what tour of laundry would be complete with out the undies drawer. With those two pictures, you now know what I wear everyday. :) Oh and a random picture of me. Yay!

Hello all, I didn't mean to dry up on the pictures so soon but access to FriendFeed is impossible at work and the internet in the room has been down for days. Ha...I guess if that's the worst that's going on, I'm damn lucky. Anyway, it's been rainy and cold so I'll have some pictures of mud puddles and such like to upload soon. :)

"Joan Najbar of Duluth, Minnesota sent a letter in September 2006 to her son, who spent a total of 22 months deployed in Iraq. Two weeks later, the USPS returned the letter marked with a red "deceased" stamp, indicating it was undeliverable because the recipient was dead. Having heard nothing from her son, Najbar contacted the American Red Cross, who informed her that he was still very much alive and had not been killed in combat as she had feared."

As a mail clerk for our unit here in Afghanistan, that is NOT how it supposed to be done. In fact, we were given strict instructions to not put ANYTHING on a letter or package for someone who's injured or killed. <shakes head> All letters/packages are delivered to the injured member or their next of kin if deceased.

It's been fairly quiet this week. I've been at my desk doing paperwork and other fun stuff most of the time. The weather is a little dreary and our internet connection in the room has been suffering for it. However, pictures are here!
Dear FriendFeed, for putting up with my whinging today, here is a picture of me (fresh out of the shower) in a silly hat that I am now allowed to wear as Thanksgiving has passed:
Okay, we don't really drive that first one to check the mail. It's one of the MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle variations. The last picture is actually our vehicle. It kind of needs a wash but just gets dirty all over again. :)

Me, me, choose me. I just received my invite 10 minutes ago. Wave me > russellreno@googlewave.com
- Russellreno
Russell, so you don't need an invite then. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
No, I need to know how to add you to my contacts. For instance Scoble is in my contacts, but I don't seen any current Waves I could join under Robert. It makes sense that he would have to invite me to his Wave.

There was a question of "facilities" in my shipping container away from home so I thought I'd post a few pics of them. You have to understand that here in Bagram, most people live at least four or a lot more to a room and have to go outside to do anything besides sleep. I'll be taking pictures of those places in the future.
Sorry, had to delete the entry to add the first photo for reference. Yes, those are bolt-cutters in the bathroom. I don't know why we have them. They were there when I moved in.
- CAJ, somewhere else
Thank you for sharing these. I think us in the West should know what life is like over there.
- rowlikeagirl
I had a friend who lived in a container like that in Iraq, but I never saw pix. These are informative. :)
- Laura B.
Is it hard to keep warm/cool in there? It doesn't seem like a shipping container would have very good insulation.
- Rochelle
They've undergone quite a bit of modification: lighting, wall coverings, furniture, etc. We have a wall-mounted unit that does both cooling and heating. The biggest challenge was learning Celsius to know how hot/cool to make it. With the temps dropping, it's all heating now. :) (I'm currently sitting in shorts and a t-shirt and am comfortable.)

Well, all right! Finally got my tail out and running again this morning. It's gotten cold here quick and will only get colder. (I'm used to Miami weather, not this freezing temps stuff!)
I guess you can see it's a little dusty here. I'll have to take more pictures when it clears up just so you can see the difference.
- CAJ, somewhere else
Oh yeah, and that's me all dressed up for running. We have to wear our official service PT gear. (The tights are authorized but a personal purchase.)

To the left of his big ass burger, you can see a hint of my little ass Thanksgiving burger (turkery, dried cranberries, mixed greens, bacon, spicy sour cream) on an english muffin. It doesn't even compare. Also, the newcastle is mine. Don't touch it.

Speaking of strange places, here's a few pictures of where I'm living. I can't deny that these are some cushy digs compared to a lot of places people are living here. I'm going to be taking more pictures as time goes on and I remember to grab the camera on my way out the door.
Good eye. That's what they are...modified and sold as living areas. Each one of those flat areas you see are two rooms, back to back. Four to a level.

Pardon my ignorance, but what brought you to living in converted cargo containers? I have a friend who converted one himself as a storm shelter. It really turned out quite nice.

My pleasure. Sort of. :) I'll be updating with new and interesting things every evening or so, my time. Later today will be the view I saw while on my run this morning. Eventually, I'll include other pictures of the base. (I figure if I took too many pictures at once, it might look supicious! Kidding...mostly.)

When you're in a strange place, you find unusual things to make you happy. I'd like to introduce everyone to our Gator. It's old, it's beat up, but it's way too much fun running up and down the one road we have here. Even with the helmet requirement and required reflective belt wear in the day time.
