Jeanine Walters

YES! Always! Religiously! - Ladybug Heather

No we're a football family - Katie via IM

I do, and then wonder why. - Jeanine Walters via Alert Thingy

We've been watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then the National Dog Show (which Best in Show is based on). - Thankful Molly

I don't. - Mark VandenBerg

Rochelle forces me to. Every year. - Akiva Moskovitz

not anymore - RAPatton

For about 3 minutes in total as I'm channel surfing. - AJ Kohn

I always try to watch it. Not always easy, since it's a normal work day up here, but a parade is always fun! Tomorrow, thesantaclausparade.com is on TV here from Toronto. - Scott from Canada

I love Cranberry Jello. I know there is a better term for it but it's cranberried suspended in jello. - Katie via IM

Stuffing - Live4Soccer

Egg foo young. - Steven Perez

I'll echo Molly. Mashed potatoes & gravy, and stuffing. Also, green bean casserole. YUM! Oh yeah... and it's nice to be together with family. :-D - Ladybug Heather

Sweet potatoes. Sweet potato pie is #2. - Jeanine Walters via Alert Thingy

Cheese pizza - Outsanity via Alert Thingy

Green bean cassarole. I could eat the whole dish myself... - Mark VandenBerg

Me too, Mark! Yum! - Ladybug Heather

You know? I don't think my family has ever had a green bean cassarole at Thanksgiving. - Katie via IM

Chilling w/ my family. - Joseph

signing up to work on Thanksgiving is way better than sharing dinner with dysfunctional family :) - jlt

Stuffing and dirt cake. - Amber aka SDA

Ham - Shevonne Polastre

My mother's asparagus pie and my mashed potatoes - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Sourdough bread with spinach dip - Rodfather

Stuffing and shrimp (Not part of the same dish) - Jeremy Kunz

A post-meal nap - Kevin Johnson

Stuffing and pecan pie. - Michelle Martinez

Stuffing!!! Yum :-) - Sarah Peterman

Ham. Sweet Potato Pie. - ♫ Rahsheen™

All the food except for the Turkey and Cowboys football! - Mathew Ballard

I don't really understand Thanksgiving, what are the traditions for it? Is there traditional meals for example? It's it kind of like Christmas? Is it a public holiday for the US? - Kol Tregaskes

My mom's dressing and German Chocolate Cake. This year, I'm doing the turkeys, so I'm extra excited. - ha3rvey

Not anymore, but we did for several years. Actually, for a time there we were carrying three paycheck advances on our two paychecks... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Why as a matter of fact, yes. - Pete Delucchi

Obviously. - Derrick

How many people out there don't ?? - Pete Delucchi

Yes. :( - Yolanda ♥s Nuttycakes

I'll be living paycheck to paycheck until the end of the year, when I finally get my damn car paid off. Then I can start saving my money again. - Helen Sventitsky

Nope. Completely debt-free, putting money away in college and retirement funds - Alan Simpson

Not anymore. - jbrotherlove

I do not think I do. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

yes... but only after i "pay myself first": every check i take out a predetermined amount and sock it away--no excuses, no waffling. but after that, what i'm left with feels like paycheck-to-paycheck. - .LAG

No - but if they suddenly stopped I don't think my house is currently worth much more than my mortgage. - Deborah Fitchett

I do but I end up spending it it all in 2 days - Outsanity

not quite, but I am awfully close to it. - tiffany

I'm a college student so yes. - Aaron Hood

Have been but that should be changing now that my wife is working (hopefully). - Daryl Burns

No check to no check. Won't be working 'til Feb or March. (edited for clarity) - Mark VandenBerg

I like to travel too much for my own good. So right now, yes. - Mitch

Yep. Still paying off loans but trying to save. Thankfully no CC debt. - Rodfather

in college..but not anymore ..oddly enought 2 month w/o living paycheck to paycheck... 900 debt tho - Caroline

Yep. - Steven Perez

No. I'm a bit of a minimalist. Don't like shopping too much. - Jeanine Walters

No, I usually spend less than I earn. - Morton Fox

No way! Never have. Even when I was making good money, I was thrifty! I only buy what I need. But I love my food! ;-) - Igor The Troll

nope-extreme budgeting :( - jlt

Nope, I live from paycheck to three-days-before-paycheck. Those last three days are spent broke and panicking! - Slippy Lane

No, but I remember just how painful it was when we were in college - Susan Beebe

Ugh, yes. Being a student sucks, I work 2 jobs (total 35 hours) and take 15 credits. I live paycheck to paycheck and hour to hour. Thank god I'm getting a break this weekend, Bolting to NYC. - Aram Zucker-Scharff via twhirl

Hey D! Thanks. Hey Heather, L4S! - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

I love Cheerios. - Monique

Frosted mini-wheats was my morning win. Yum. - Jeanine Walters via fftogo

Rice Krispies .... HELLLLLOOOOOO Bren :D - Tuesday

I love the Rice Krispies, too, no doubt. I'm a cereal junkie. I found two new options at Trader Joe's that I really didn't need to find: Gourmet Flakes & Chocolate and Chocolate Decadence. - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

Hey Bren! I had low sugar Frosted Flakes this morning. yum - Carmen

Jeanine, good call. I'm on a kick with Frosted Mini-Wheats right now although I feel that my next box might be Golden Grahams. - Rochelle

Look at you go, Carmen! Have a great day :) - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

I cannot handle all these songs with these people sounding like Soundwave from the Transformers cartoon. CAN'T! - Derrick

Damn Cher, letting that genie out of the bottle... - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

Derrick, I love your letters to people who aren't listening but should. - Jeanine Walters via Alert Thingy

Jeanine, just doing my part, lol. - Derrick

@Michael - this Duffy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Zee from WeDoCreative

@Zee - yeppers, exact clip too. Sure, she's not godsawful like those Derrick is talking about, but to mine ears, she's really not that great either. - Michael W. May

wow u must have high standards, i thought it was pretty darn impressive - Zee from WeDoCreative

Derrick kills the next meme before it happens - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

Most do think so *shrug* I have weird ears. Besides, I heard Adele first and she's phenomenal. - Michael W. May

I thought Duffy was pretty terrible on SNL earlier this year (unlike Adele, who killed it). - Jason Toney

But, back on topic, I don't hate auto-tune. Particularly for artists who I have no desire to see perform live or for artists who are using it as a tool rather than a deception (see Kanye West and Lil' Wayne). - Jason Toney

J. Holiday? Omarion? Who? Name names...LOL. I know a few artists (singers) personally that love some autotune. I've always been of the mindset that, if I can't sound just about exactly like my CD live....not gonna do it. - ♫ Rahsheen™

I think I'm falling for this guy a little. [Well, did he like the Deer Hunter or not?] - Donna Mugavero

Don't worry, Rahm, I'm eating at Arby's! - RefD

The most important facts you need to know about Rahm Emanuel: 1. he is a pro-Israel militant and AIPAC op 2. he was a key ringleader of the Iraq War in the Democratic Party 3. he seems to be interested in starting a war with Iran 4. he attacked Bush from the right for being too soft on terrorism 5. he embodies the opposite of everything Obama claimed to represent in the way of progressive change. If you loved the Iraq War, and thought it was good for America, you will love Rahm Emanuel. - Sean McBride

Mo, Use Launchy too. But it's sluggish too for some reason. - Kamath ॐ

After being a huge Launchy fan for a while (check my blog), I just switched to Find And Run Robot to see if it works faster. Problem here is, I have no idea what the name of what I want is...LOL - ♫ Rahsheen™

Launchy does the automatic indexing thing. I think this was causing my entire computer to run slow at times. The HD is still the weakest link as far as speed goes. FARR seems to be working better for me, but only time will tell. - ♫ Rahsheen™

I'll have to give the FInd and Run Robot a go then. Interesting. - Kamath ॐ

Same guy that made Find and Run Robot also made another app for more visual people called Launchbar Commander. - April Russo

I love Launchy so I'll have to try out this Find And Run Robot too - David Adam

It's fantastic in Vista. - Akiva Moskovitz

I pretty much use the same programs everyday. And I use RocketDock to access them. I tried Enso as well. But I couldn't get used to it. - jbrotherlove

RocketDock and Object Dock do the trick - Amber aka SDA

I don't know what my deal is, but visual launchers make me forget what I wanted...LOL. I prefer key-combos or typing stuff, although....this launchbar might work well in cooperation with FARR. Good idea! Glad I thought of it. Thanks :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

Yeah, I use RocketDock too but I want to involve my mouse as little as I can when I am coding. - Kamath ॐ

This is my alternative to the start menu (warning: it scares most people) http://appsapps.info/stuff/2ta... - April Russo

That picture hurt my eyes...LOL. - ♫ Rahsheen™

OMG April! I'm going to have nightmares now! - Jeanine Walters

Enso is run by key-combos (which may be why it didn't stick for me) http://www.humanized.com/enso/ - jbrotherlove

I liked Enso a lot but I don't think that it's being updated anymore. The developer, as far as I know, is focused entirely on Ubiquity these days. - Akiva Moskovitz

Hrm, enso looks cute. I'll have to play with it later. I don't think it was free when I looked at it back in the day. Is now, though. - ♫ Rahsheen™

The one big redeeming feature of Vista is the search field in the start menu. Hit the Windows key, start typing a program name, hit enter. Fantastic. - Phil Glockner

Launchy's latest beta has eliminated most of the slowness that Launchy 2.0 had. I dunno when it gets released as final, tho. - Mattie Kenny

Other thing I like about FARR is the flexibility in creating extensions, but I probably don't have time for all that. I'm still kinda on the fence. - ♫ Rahsheen™

You might want to browse here for FARR goodies: http://www.donationcoder.com/F... - April Russo

Yeah, still trying to wade through that. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Launchy rules! Although I still wish something like Quicksilver/Gnomedo existed for Windows - Tim Hoeck

Never used either of those, so I'm not sure what the diff is. I also haven't seen any screencasts of any of this stuff. That would be nice to see. - ♫ Rahsheen™

+1 to Phil up above. Love hitting one key, typing, and hitting enter. - Jordan Hofker

Jordan - If course, on the Mac, it's Option-Space, type name, enter. Lots of people don't know this useful little shortcut in OSX 10.5 (in 10.4 you have to hit option-enter to run the first result) - Phil Glockner

Well sure, but that's not *one* key! :-) I'm guessing Rahsheen is using XP, though. - Jordan Hofker

I'm more into ActiveWords - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

On XP I use Launchy. I tried Objectdock but it seemed to slow the system and cause Firefox to hang more often. Since migrating to Vista I w/ Phil. I hit start and type what I want. - tsudohnimh

One finger for now - Lindsey

2 Thumbs and a lot of grumbling - Kamath ॐ

Two thumbs... funny thing though (considering my giagantic chubby fingers) I am super-ninja at typing on the portrait keyboard but when it's in landscape I can't stand it. - Johnny Worthington

one finger - Glen Campbell

two thumbs if i have two hands free, but usually just one finger - Jeanine Walters via Alert Thingy

If the phone isn't being stupid and let's me work in landscape, two thumbs. If it IS being stupid (like when I'm in email, right forefinger. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

mostly with thumb and first finger; stylus is wonderful! - David HC Soul

Two thumbs. - Akiva Moskovitz

Right index finger. - Rochelle

two thumbs, in a blaze of typing-fu - Kevin Johnson

this is so bad-ass - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

Yay! - Rochelle

Awesome, Pete. Can I borrow $753.50? - Derrick

That's a cool app. I need one for Diet Coke. - Josh Haley

Thanks all...the $700+ went straight into pizza, sorry, Derrick. And the other $53.50 for Diet Co...oh, Josh! Dang, I wish I would have known. - Pete Delucchi

One of the guys I work with saves all the money he'd have spent on cigarettes and uses it to play Poker at the Indian casinos. He feels it's a fair trade. - Tad, Fool

You should print that out as a poster and advertise it. It may have the same affect. - Josh Jenkins

Congratulations! - Ladybug Heather

WOW!!! nice job!! YEAH!! - Susan Beebe

That is sweet - RAPatton

I thought you seemed like the kind of guy who could appreciate that. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert

daisy st! that is the perfect and right street for you to live on Lisa!! :) <3 - edythe

My favourite flower :) - Michael W. May via twhirl

Thanks, Lisa! I believe there is a lot of power in a name. - RAPatton

One of my top faves too, MWM. Thanks, Polly! I think so too!! :-0 - Lisa L. Seifert

That's really specific material you're posting on the world wide web. I don't even brightkite more than my zip code. :-) - Pete Delucchi

I want you to bring me doughnuts, Pete. - Lisa L. Seifert

just like that, huh? <clap> <clap>? - Pete Delucchi

Magic doughnuts just appeared in my living room!!!!!!!! Thanks, Pete. - Lisa L. Seifert

plant the doughnuts in the ground and you will grow a magic walkway to the mystical halls of Krispy Kreme - Pete Delucchi

but beware the giant - edythe

Giant what? - Mathew A. Koeneker

Cracking up... :-) Thanks for worrying about my level of disclosure, Pete. I don't really care, quite honestly. What's the worst that can happen??? Mona could show up with bacon? Someone could offer to carpool? - Lisa L. Seifert

Both of those would be good things. - Mathew A. Koeneker

The pdf is definitely worth reading. I think this is the first time I actually understand what it means for my mom to have chronic pain. - Lindsey

Yeah - is my oops; I'd meant to get the link directly to the PDF. It really is something, and it describes the kinds of choices and thinking I have to go through every day. If I say no to going out to eat with you, it's not that I don't want your company; it's more likely that I have a doctor's appointment the next day that I need to save a couple extra spoons for. - Ladybug Heather

I always understood that she had to think about things but not quite to this extent. My mom is tough and she has a way of making "spoons" appear but I'm sure she's just borrowing years in advance - Lindsey

people who don't suffer from chronic pain have no idea whatsoever how debilitating and life altering **real** non-stop 24hr pain is. - Steven Hodson

My wife thanks you for the link. You've given her a great tool for explaining chronic pain. Even her best friend sometimes struggles to understand. - Kevin Johnson

You and your wife are certainly welcome, Kevin - that site has some great resources, good chat forums and some cute humor for when you're feeling down about the pain. Sometimes you just need the understanding nods from someone else who has had to count spoons before. - Ladybug Heather

She's checking out the site as I write this. Thanks. - Kevin Johnson

I just read the Spoon Theory to my wife as well - she said thank you - Steven Hodson

Fries with gravy? Damn Canucks! ;) (good read tho, anyway...thanks for sharing. :)) - abacab

I had a tiny taste of this when I was recovering from surgery. I kept miscounting my spoons and waking up the next morning feeling like I'd been hit by a bus. Props to those who have to count spoons on an ongoing basis. - Jeanine Walters

And on that note, I used too many spoons staying up late last night, so I need a nap. See y'all later! - Ladybug Heather

I sent this to the husband this morning. Not sure of his reaction yet, but he was easier on me today and less frustrated when I ran out of steam. - Alix Whitmire ƸӜƷ

Hugs, Alix. Hope today goes better for you. - Ladybug Heather

Well, I guess it makes sense. Urine is sterile and chock full of ammonia (to lower soil pH) and nitrogen. Plus, it's always recommended to pee on the compost heap, right? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Can't believe no one is interested in gardening with pee =P - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I find it kinda hard to aim just right into the little houseplant pots. :-P - Ladybug Heather

When your garden is the 8 sq. ft. patch nestled in the center of the city, maybe it's best not to pee on it. Kind of takes away from the "stop and smell the roses" theory. - Steve Craft

Heather - HA! - Yolanda ♥s Nuttycakes

<whistling> I think I'll just wander on by this conversations </whistling> - Steven Hodson

I wish I could like this again. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

The California Supreme Court decision rested on "fundamental rights." As long as the Supreme Court does not decide that man-sheep marriages are fundamental rights, there's no problem. - Ontario Emperor

I don't know, she's really cute:
