I'm going snowboarding/skiing with the kids for the first time this weekend. Anyone have any tips? #fb
I would love to do that one day. No tips, of course. - Valley
Lessons. And wrist guards. Snowboarding is tricky....but it's a blast! - Jess from iPhone
Is it better to go skiing with kids the first time? - Shevonne
Don't be afraid to fall on your butt - Alex Scoble
hahaha ok - Shevonne
Dress for water resistance and take several short breaks. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I would say pick one, don't try to do both. I think skiing is way better and kids learn fast. Boarding is hard and if you don't fall properly everytime, you can really hurt your wrists. - Laura Norvig from iPod

""The End of Time" wrapped up the Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who with a bang, but it left a bunch of unanswered questions behind. Perhaps the solutions are already right there in front of us. Speculation time!" - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet

I could have Vincent Gallo's baby - http://www.guardian.co.uk/film...
He's selling his sperm for $1-mil? I could probably get better quality sperm donors for ten times lower than that. Sorry Vincent, but you ain't all that! - Shevonne

Large moon of Uranus may explain odd tilt - space - 04 December 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
Large moon of Uranus may explain odd tilt - space - 04 December 2009 - New Scientist
"lease try to resist the childish jokes, but the fact is that the odd tilt of Uranus may be the result of a particularly large moon. Uranus spins on an axis almost parallel with the plane of the solar system, rather than perpendicular to it – though why it does this nobody knows. One theory is that the tilt is the result of a collision with an Earth-sized object, but this "hasn't succeeded in explaining much of anything", says Ignacio Mosqueira of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. Why, for example, are the orbits of Uranus's 27 known moons not also tilted? Now Gwenaël Boué and Jacques Laskar at the Paris Observatory in France have come up with another explanation: Uranus may once have had an unusually massive extra moon. If the moon had 1 per cent of the mass of Uranus – and orbited at a certain distance – it would slightly unbalance the planet and increase its wobble about its axis. After about 2 million years, the wobbling could have become exaggerated enough to tip... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"The moon may since have been ejected by the tug of another planet passing nearby. Its fate is unclear, but it may have crashed into another gas giant if it is not still roaming the solar system. William Ward at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado finds the theory plausible but points out there is no evidence for the extra moon other than the effect Boué and Laskar suggest it has had on Uranus's orientation." - RAPatton
such a pretty planet - Michael W. May
I remember when Voyager II first brought back pictures from Uranus – one of my earliest memories of astronomy. Such a cool planet. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
That's no small moon... - MiniMage - HLtW

What movies have you seen, but wish you could scrub from your brain? (Inspired by SAM and Anika)
Batman & Robin, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars Eps 1, 2 and 3 - Alex Scoble
Boys Don't Cry. Se7en (sometimes). Starwars 1,2,3 (from Alex). - Jeremy (cropmarks)
I'll say A Clockwork Orange. Good movie, but weird in the extreme. Blue Velvet is up there with it. - Junebug
Oh yeah. That trilogy was awful. I guess this can either way. There are some that were just awesomely bad and others that have been nightmare inducing in their oddness. - Junebug
Cloverfield. Hated that movie. - Junebug
None, really. Most of the time even movies I dislike I'm not sorry I saw. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Ultraviolet. I stole that off of the internet, and still feel like someone should have paid me to watch it. - Jennifer Dittrich
Requiem for a Dream - SAM
I wouldn't scrub any either, though I could be persuaded to un-see some of the more gratuitously graphic horror movies of recent years. - LogEx
Hollywood Homicide, Coyote Ugly, A.I., Requiem for a Dream (right when I finished typing this one Scott's comment popped up!), any Tyler Perry movie, The Hulk, Spiderman, Dreamcatcher, A Boy and his Dog, Taxi Driver. Just off the top of my head. Oh yeah, Trainspotting. Spanglish. Magnolia. Two Lane Asphalt (?). - Admiral Anika
Eyes Wide Shut with Nicole Kidman and Tom. They should have left it as their homemade sex tape. - Jess

Cutting it up soon to stow away for Thursday. Unfortunately, everyone is ready to eat it now and begging for more. - Admiral Anika from Bookmarklet

That looks beautiful! Happy eating!!!! - Mary Carmen
lol I WANT TO GO THERE - Andrizzle Gizzle
WOW! - Carlos Ayala
Give me your meat... - Mo Kargas
That is torture! Why do you do it to yourself? (actually, cooking the bird early is a great idea!) - Jess
I had no choice. I had thawed the bird yesterday and everything I read said that I had to cook it NOW. I had planned on smoking it on Wednesday! - Admiral Anika
This looks so good I kind of want to kill myself. - Andrizzle Gizzle
Then you won't get to eat it fool!! :D - Mo Kargas
I ate it. - Adrian
Now tempted to go to Kroger - MiniMage - HLtW
I'm not going to get to eat it now! - Andrizzle Gizzle
Hehe, it's all gone... sorry AG! I'll save you a juicy burp... #iKidding - Adrian
Anika, you've launched a coup that may have just over-taken this pescaterian. *spudder-sput-pput-pffffff* DYSP! - Micah Wittman

Do you ever get the feeling times and temperatures in recipes are made up? Why 375 degrees? Why not 400, 378, or 295? Why 40 minutes? Why not 41 minutes, or 38 or 45? Has anyone ever tried all the different combinations to see what works best? But I dutifully put my bread in for 40 minutes at 374 degrees like a good little boy.
I'm not much for following recipes. They're good idea sparkers, but every oven, meat, and spice requires your own special touch. - Jess

What makes holidays special can kill pets - http://www.upi.com/Health_...
"The very things that make the holidays festive for people can make them fatal to pets, U.S. veterinarians warn. Dr. Ron DeHaven, chief executive officer of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says turkey, tinsel, greasy foods, mistletoe, Christmas trees, chocolates and baked goods are all things that can result in an emergency veterinary visit." - chaz2b from Bookmarklet

I've got to do most of my Thanksgiving prep tomorrow since I have lunch with Dave's family Thursday and then dinner at my house that night. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I AM impressed. Wow! - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Mine includes a nap... Not much else, really. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo
Take a nap for me too MVB!! This is why I have a tradition of taking the day before TG as a vacation day. Luckily I don't have to worry about that this year </mildly bitter> - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I GET MY OWN COLUMN??? DO ANYBODY NO HOW DAT HAPPEN? - Gunny Say RELAX ™
Can Dave do any of that? - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
=D Gunny, I put you at the top because I'm going to try to get by your house as soon as possible tomorrow. Once I get going it's better I don't stop... And Dave can't really help, he's working tomorrow, making up for having Thursday and Friday off. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Ah, I assumed he was unemployed because of an earlier thread. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I will be awake 'round 7. Carol leaves for work 'round 8:30 - Gunny Say RELAX ™
Dave works full time but we're looking around for him if I get a position that requires us to relocate. Not to mention he's in the newspaper industry which isn't the most stable in the world... Gunny, it won't be quite that early (gotta have coffee first!) but hopefully shortly thereafter. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I can't promise I'll be out of teh T-Shirt and boxers but I'll try :p - Gunny Say RELAX ™
Just wrap up in a blankie and call it a toga =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I HAZ SNUGGIE - Gunny Say RELAX ™
nice, is this something you do everyday? - Loc
Not usually, Loc: only when I have so much to get done that I start to feel overwhelmed. I find if I write it all down and cross it off as I go I am more efficient. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Added 8 things to this list as the day wore on and, with 30 minutes left, I have 9 things left to do tomorrow. Not too shabby... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

DO ANYBODY NO HOW TO FOLD A FITTED SHEET??
I'm sure there's a video showing how to fold it properly. I just fold it in fours and stuff it in the linen closet. - jbrotherlove
I roll it up in a ball and shove it in the back of the closet! - Jason
Just put it back on the bed... No folding required. - Lisa L. Seifert
I know. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. - ha3rvey (looking busy)
Take Lisa's advice. Just put it back on the bed. - ha3rvey (looking busy)
I have a 'thing' for sheets... so I have a lot of sets I have to rotate out... eventually the fitted ones have to be folded :( I don't believe it's possible. - Jason
I make sure the elastic bits are inside then I fold it like a regular sheet. It does get puffy though. - Admiral Anika
I /hate/ fitted sheets. I just throw them in the cedar chest and not worry about folding. :-P - Jason Huebel
I think it's one of those things... once you figured it out - you have reached enlightenment and you don't have to come back to earth anymore to fix everything you did wrong in past lives... Anika, you're almost there! - Jason
When I was doing volunteer work for my church, they taught us a military-style tuck/fold method of using a regular sheet in place of your fitted sheet. I liked that so much better. Added benefit was no fitted sheet nonsense. - Jason Huebel
I used to have to lay the sheet on the floor or bed to fold it. It's only in the last 2 years, that I've been able to fold them standing up and have it the same size as the top sheet when folded. - Admiral Anika
have someone else to it - VAL D. Zone
Line up the elasticized edges and fold them in on all sides until you have a rectangular sheet. Then fold it again. - Michelle
Michelle it's not that easy! well for me at least... I don't think I'm as far along on my path to enlightenment as I would like to think ;) - Jason
Ha! I fought them for years and this lady who owned the laundromat I used to go to showed me how to do it. I don't get it perfect every time but it is better ;-) - Michelle
Hate the damn things. Every time I fold one, the end result is a bit different. - Yolanda
Of course Martha knows. - Jason from iPhone
If you put ALL of the fitted sheets on your bed you could just take them off one at a time as needed. Once the laundry hamper set aside only for your fitted sheets is full, you wash, dry and start over. Plus your bed would be really, really comfy and fluffy. - Lisa L. Seifert
PS: I do mine like Martha. I abhor Martha, though. Just sayin'. - Lisa L. Seifert
You could also use all of the unfolded fitted sheets as togas. - Lisa L. Seifert
OMG LISA You are brilliant! All the fitted sheets on the bed. Totally doing that. - Jason
You roll it up. You don't fold them. Didn't your Mother teach you anything? - Kittyburgers
It might help soak up the dog's mess if you put them all on the bed. Just sayin'... :-| - Lisa L. Seifert
Someone on Teh Intarweb told me, and it's worked okay for me: You fit a corner over hand A. Run hand B along the edge to the next corner and then fit that over the first corner. (It'll be inside-out compared to the first corner.) Repeat this until all corners are fitted over your hand, then shake and tug the edges so they line up with each other. It's easier to do than describe. Then you can fold up what you've got left over. - Deborah Fitchett
This is one of those things I learned as a very small child... along with hospital corners. The Martha example is a close approximation of the method I use. The best part: the last step is to beat the sheet down if it doesn't lie flat enuff. This can be a satisfying laundry day release exercise (at least, it always has been for me). Then when storing, place heavier flat sheets on top of... more... - tamaran

One Hundred Years of Solitude is our next novel. Check into your local library, hit up your friends, check your bookshelves for this book by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez
gabriel-garcia-marquez-one-hundred-years-of-solitude-03.jpg
One Hundred Years of Solitude (Spanish: Cien años de soledad) is a novel by Nobel Prize-winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. It was first published in Spanish in 1967. The book was an instant success worldwide and was translated into over 27 languages[1]. Lauded critically, the book contributed to the Latin American "Boom" in literature and the development of the postmodernism literary style. It was also an immense commercial success, becoming the best-selling book in Spanish in modern history, after Don Quixote[2]. The product of 15 months of work, during which García Márquez barricaded himself in his house[3], it broke his writer's block and is widely considered García Márquez's magnum opus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Katie is Frittering
Ooh, I haven't read this one. I have one Marquez book at home, but I think it's the other one. (I mean, the other famous one. You know.) - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I've never heard of it but it sounds interesting. - Katie is Frittering
I just picked this up! Is there a group here reading it? - Jess
Weirdly, I just found my (unread) copy of this in the trunk of my car. Felicitous. - Jennifer Dittrich
We are reading it in this room. http://friendfeed.com/classic... - Katie is Frittering
I think I need to quit Catch 22...it's not moving for me and I think it's been packed somewhere and I can't find it :o/ - Katie is Frittering
I started Catch 22 and was enjoying it, but then had to read some books for work and never got back to it. I have yet to complete one of the books. Can we do a Dr, Seuss next? - Alan Simpson
@Alan: Hahahah!! That's a good idea. How about Hop On Pop next? - Katie is Frittering
Katie, I didn't get into Catch-22 until about half-way through, then it suddenly got awesome and by the end it was one of my fave books. Obviously do what you want, but just to say if you're not at least half-way through, you're still in the slow part and it gets better. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy: I think I'm on like p 128. It was close to halfway. - Katie is Frittering
I recommend re-creating the genealogy chart printed in the beginning for easy glancing ,-) - Jess
It's now 1:30 and I keep picking this book up instead of going to SLEEP. It's not exactly a thriller, but it's addicting. - Jess
I should get the actual book. I got cheap and downloaded the Kindle sample to my iPhone, but the port to ebook is TERRIBLE. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Ugh. You need the paper chart in the beginning. I'll mail you my book if you want. - Jess
Nah, I'll get it sometime. I'm still pretty much in the middle of John Fowles' The Magus. Thanks, though! - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jess: Oh...glad to hear it's addicting. I like when a book has me. Still mucking my way through Catch 22 - Katie is Frittering
i read this book in spanish as a teen. Since then, it has remained in my top ten. i really want to re-read it but this time in english and see if it has the same affect it did on me as a teen. I am pretty sure that any translation of this book loses a bit of that colombian magic. - Carlos Ayala
Good gracious this book is strange..... - Katie is Frittering
