I thought Zoe was sick? Is she sharing the bug with other kids?
- Louis Gray
When we first moved here we had annual passes and it got old, but it has been renovated and it is amazing! There are three floors now and my favorite is the Tot Spot. We almost got kicked out of the toddler section for starting a plastic ball war. Zoe got on live TV with Channel 2 News because they were doing Trick or Treating. My phone died that's why you're getting all this after the fact.

Oh, and Zoe's not sick anymore. Five days of stomach flu was enough, sheesh!

Louis, her visiting Nana was first to get sick, then Zoe, then the boys and Trish, then me. By the time I started getting it, Zoe was pretty much "all bedder". :)

After the claim that http://friendfeed.com/rahshee... wouldn't start a meme, I had to at least give it a try. This is mildly better to look at than the original that the lickers came from (you know which image I'm talking about, I refuse to link to it).
I knew the "Remove It Permanently" Firefox addon would come in handy.

Bonnie, who has the talent? I hope you're not referring to me, this is the shittiest photoshopping (well, GIMPing), I've ever done. That being said, I spent way too much time on it when I did it.

They should do a Michelle Obama weather and depending on the temperature would be the length of her shorts and her shirt sleeves. SCANDAL!

Cute site! Great concept...immediately answers all the questions one would have about the weather, without making you really think much about it. What should I wear, do I need an umbrella, should I bring a jacket, etc.

In my "my discussions" feed, this post comes up just below the multiple spinning heads of Josh Haley, and for one brief moment Josh and dancing girl were rotating in sync. It was the most exciting thing to have happened so far today.

I don't care. As long as he/she is a good doctor, the sex doesn't matter to me.
- Holger Eilhard
I prefer having a female doctor. I'm just more comfortable with women in general.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
Dentists have always been male, every other doctor I've ever seen has been female.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
No preference... but historically, I've liked my male doctors more.

does not matter as long as they know what they are doing...................
- VAL D.
I've never had a female doc. Not by choice, it's just kinda worked out that way.
- suzanne

I think my preference for femal doctors started when I went to a male OBGYN who called me into his office (after the exam), slapped a bible on his desk and laid a prepared sermon on me about the sins of premarital sex.
- Shannon
Like many guys, I've had the fantasies about the hot nurses and female doctors, but in all seriousness, I really don't care what sex the doctor is as long as they do a good job
- Ian May
I would rather have a female doctor so that when I need to "turn my head and cough" it would brighten that day
-
Ive had all male dr's all my life .. and recently had to switch to a female Dr .. she's great ...
- johnpiercy
I've only had four doctors all my life actually. All male. The first and third are dead now. The second one got struck off.
- Ian May
Aw man, I read this as "I prefer a sex doctor." The regular kind doesn't seem as fun, no matter what their sexuality is.
- Noah Belson
I ultimately want a good doctor, but I must say that I really like my current doctor (who happens to be female). It's nice when the doctor knows first-hand what it's like to deal with the speculum.
- Katy S
@Shannon - That is AWFUL! I hope you let him know what you thought of that "treatment". Geeze. I prefer female OBGyn because I had a bad experience with the male one I had when I was pregnant. I am currently in need of a GP but my last one was male and I really liked him (he moved his office across town though so I had to quit seeing him). I would probably pick a woman if I have to choose one out of the insurance directory, but I'll take either for a GP if they have a good recommendation.
- Her Lindsay-ness
I'm just happy to have a doctor that will stay at my surgery for more than a few months. Seems every time I get a decent doctor and they get to know me and my particular foibles, they up and move to a different practice. I'm beginning to get a complex :-)
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
I like having a female doctor, my only problem is that I find it hard to discuss certain things with her. Fortunately I can book appointments with one of the male doctors at her office if need be, yay socialized healthcare!
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Having lived with both tax-based, and insurance-based healthcare, I know which one I've been most happy with, both for me and my family
- Ian May
With doctors I don't care so much, but I only want a female dentist. Why? Because my mouth doesn't open very wide, and the spaces between my teeth are really tight, and I only want someone with dainty hands mucking about in there.
- cecily
I'd prefer a female GYN as she would be more likely to understand how things "feel" down there. I have a male GP who is as young as my Kid and I think he's great because he's one of the new school who acts as a partner to the patient, not an authority figure. And he is going to outlast me, I hope, and not move on to a fancier practice.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
The last female OBGYN I had wore an engagement ring the size of a golf ball. She double gloved that hand but it still wasn't particularly... Comfortable =/
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I have no preference. A female gynecologist once told me my periods were bad because I am a redhead. Several years later I saw a male doc for the same symptoms. He immediately suspected endometriosis, a condition that could be improved with surgery, he operated and my life improved drastically. Male, female, I don't care if they are competent.
- Heather Solos
Guy doctors. Female doctors are evil. </hyperbole>
- Anika
I don't think I would care, but I've only ever had a male doc so can't really say for sure.
- Kenton
I've always had male Internists for doctors but the majority of my Ob Gyns have been female. Kind of prefer it that way.
- Bonnie Foster

No preference. My GP and OB/GYN are both male.

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself....
There's a diner I've frequented in Atlanta near the Airport, and I learned to go in, and buy one meal to go.. for both my wife and I. The food was great, but, for example, THREE whole chicken breasts, plus all the sides... I can eat, but it was too much even for me to ever finish.
- Ian May
It just seems weird that of all of the people in the audience on the show, a "celebrity" gets chosen. And does so well. Still waiting to see if she wins the final showcase...
- Rochelle
hahaha! When I first came to ff I sub'd to her, but g*d was she boring. I had no idea who she was, only that she had a ton of subscribers. then i saw her on some goofy commercial. then I unsub'd.
- Bren, Photophobe
Okay, on the one hand, yeah, that's a suspicious appearance... the woman was one of the hosts at the MTV Music Awards, fer chrissake. So it's more than a bit odd that she got plucked out of the audience. OTOH, I'm not sure why she annoys anyone.
- Roger Benningfield
I don't find her annoying, just not interesting.
- Bren, Photophobe
I've only heard of her because of the hundred plus page iPhone bill thingee, and I'm okay with that. Ignorance is bliss.
- Derrick
She was cute for 15 minutes. That was a long time ago. She should go away please.

I don't even know who she is. I can't tell if that's good or bad.

"In case you’ve been wondering about the sporadic posts and lack of commenting, I’ve been in Asia for the past month. As much as I love the food of my homeland, eating nothing but Korean and Japanese food for the past thirty days had me itching for a change. Since I’m spending a week at a Napa retreat (a.k.a. my parent’s house), I decided to make the most of the plentiful Mexican supplies while I can. Chicken enchiladas from scratch seemed like a good place to start."

Help Me FriendFeed... It's Rachael and I's 5 year wedding anniversary this Friday and despite my long search, I can find nothing epic... Any ideas? (5 years is wood, that's right folks, I have to give my wife wood this year)
There are so many possibilities, Johnny. Since Rachael *does* read here, you're better off setting up a private room to get the real suggestions.
- Spidra Webster
Too bad you don't have more time.. you could make something with your names/dates/whathaveyous and custom fabricated out of a wood of your choosing. http://www.ponoko.com/
- veo
does she like wine? Or champagne? Wine comes with a cork, which is wood. So, there you go.
- Jim Hearts FF
paper is made of wood - so a hand done card that is delivered in a special way would also work. (or is there a paper thingy specifically in this marriage tradition thang?)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
There is actually a paper anniversary, yes.
- Spidra Webster
i LOLd at the words in parenthesis and then couldn't tell my mom what i was laughing about... :D Get her a wooden bowl of some kind depending on your needs... delicate and pretty or just plain functional. Oh, and congrats early. :)
- Trish Haley
My friend's been known to brag about the bookshelf her husband built her. She's a bookworm.
- MiniMage, sheeple of FF
You could build her an authentic wooden Viking ship... in a bottle! (Well, at least I'D really like that! 'Course, my family is Danish... I s'pose that's part of it.)
- Mark Jepsen
You could try the "Julia Roberts" thing from Pretty Woman, sitting at the dining room table with your legs up wearing nothing but a tie - and that pirate patch you are so fond of in your avatar ;-) Now if you cook dinner, that might be the icing on the cake!
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
I love the ideas of furniture and jewelry shared above. Furniture can't get lost as easily. To kick it over the top... try a giant flaming 5 in the sand/beach/dirt or some other kind of artsy display you take her to see on Friday. ;) Congrats!

- Alternating Reality Books
My best advice: be flexible and adapt to what she wants. My 5-year anniversary was this year, and my husband wanted to give me a tree. I knew I'd have to plant, water and care for said tree, so I suggested instead we get a pair of teak steamer chairs so we could relax in our backyard together. He said yes to that, and we're both happy. And I got my wood! :-D

So have all the geeks left FriendFeed? Reply to this post with where you feel you fall - 'geek' or 'non-geek'. :-) EDIT: I think that's pretty clear, the geeks have *not* left FriendFeed. :-)
a carnival performer who does disgusting acts eccentric: a person with an unusual or odd personality , or an individual with a passion for computers, to the exclusion of other normal human interests. I assume we are using the last definition?

Nerd and Proud™! (which should count as geek)
- Marco Fabbri
@Marco Fabbri: Nerd != Geek. In SML Dictionary, Nerds have no fashion sense and can't talk to people, Geeks generally have a fashion sense and can carry on a conversation relatively ok; nerds usually wear white t-shirts and white sneakers; Geeks generally wear black t-shirts and black sneakers. A classic example: Nerd = Bill gates; Geek = Steve Jobs!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
depends on what we are geeking out about. if we're talking about music, shoes, spinning, dyeing, yarn, german history, b movies and zombies- then ubergeek.

@See-ming Lee that is indeed controversial. Anyway as choice was given between geek and non-geek I meant some degree of nerd counts as geek.
- Marco Fabbri
@Marco Fabbri Well I think that all geeks are nerds, but all nerds != geeks. I believe that Set(Geek) includes Set(Nerd) but this is a question I have been thinking about for years now and I don't yet have a conclusion yet. But at least that's where I'm at now!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
healing my wounded inner geek. i went freak for a while, then artsy-hipster... keeping hints of those, but the foundation is looking mighty geek.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
The way I look at it, most of my friends primarily use Facebook OR Twitter. A few use both, and a few have YouTube Accounts. They don't read RSS feeds or use Google Reader or Digg or StumbleUpon. Therefore, non-geeks cannot see the benefits of this aggregation power (anyone agree or not?)

Texting & Talking on the Cell Phone - while driving (the new "drunk driving"). The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The 2 car passengers & motorcycle rider were killed instantly.
Jaws of Life didnt help this time .. I hate going to wrecks like this ... I see way to much of it ...
- johnpiercy
I have a friend that text/talks and drives all the time, being in the car when he's doing it frightens me.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
There is also a Pt. 2 (with a couple of more pictures of the damage.) The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department.

I don't understand why people think they can hold a phone to one side of their head and still see properly to navigate while driving.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I do a lot of driving in the winter between ct & vt, a drunk driver and a cellphone user look the same when passing - delayed reactions to turns and merges, drifting over lines and shoulders and irrational speed regulation - I have accidentally called 911 before thinking driver was drunk when in fact they were clueless cellphoners :-p
- mike "glemak" dunn

actually I usually ask my wife or kids to call 911 since I don't desire being a clueless cellphoners as well ;)

So very awful. I might have to ban myself from even responding to quick calls. The only texting I have ever done while driving was while stopped at a light to answer Y or N to a question, no more, back when I was first learning what texting was and I got a couple of messages for school. I wouldn't even do that again, and I cannot *imagine* carrying on a full-blown text conversation while driving a car. It blows my mind how stupid this is.
