Something tells me that this guy doesn't realize that this Rochelle isn't the Rochelle he's looking for. If he *IS* after this Rochelle, some bitch is gunna get cut.

The lady at the check in desk was pretty rude. She asked how many in our party and I said two (it was my dad and me and Audrey). When they called my name, the lady acted all offended that it was actually two adults plus a baby. I hadn't counted Audrey because she didn't need a chair and wasn't eating anything. The lady said, "Well, having three changes EVERYTHING." They then made a big...

One of my favorite high school teachers used to give a short motivational speech to his classes on Fridays. He was one of those teachers that everyone loves and becomes a local legend. He retired last June and had a huge party. This September, instead going back to school, he started a blog and posts his motivational thoughts for us each Friday. :)
Had a teacher back in middle school, Mr. Roach he is one of those who really took the time to make sure the kids enjoyed what they were learning, it is to bad that over time we lost touch but it is amazing a teacher continues what he has started even after not being on the job. It must of truly been a passion of his.
- Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
Awesome. I want to subscribe to that. I miss teachers like that.
- joey
This is so cool, I hope that I'm a good teacher like that =D

Amazing, but confusing, that babby is obviously 4-5, but that emergency(if it's American, not sure if other countries use that kind of incision for routine C's) C-Section scar/bruising is a month old at the most

Watching the memorial on TV for the police officer shot and killed in Seattle last weekend. I know people generally have a tough time with things like this, but the news reporters are saying the stupidest things. "The mourners appear to be showing grief." "You may not be able to tell, but tradition plays a role in memorial services like this."
The dire standard of most TV news reporting means that I am not in the slightest bit surprised at these quotes. I almost never watch Cable news networks - not any of them.
- Ian May
The news reporter is crying so much, she can't talk. Honestly, I probably would the same but that's why I'm not a reporter.
- Rochelle
Dear local news channel, please put actual content on your website. I don't want to read a headline and then have to watch the dang video to get news from you. This just means I'm switching to your competitor. Love, Rochelle.
This was what was sent to me (which I responded to with the above): "@Rochelle wait me i need u &me to gather u my wife u 4get" -- DO ANYBODY KNOW WTF THAT MEANS

Great voicemail from my mom. Her computer at work broke and the IT guy came to look at it and told her that it broke because she has a microwave sitting on the counter next to the computer and the "waves" are interfering with each other. She called me to ask if that's true. *sigh*
If it has a Wi-Fi connection and she's unable to access anything over the network then that could be true! Microwave ovens use the same wavelengths as 802.11b 802.11g WiFi.
- Nick B.
Nick, it's not a network issue. She's saying it BROKE. It won't even turn on.
- Rochelle
In that case the guy should get an award for top BS then...
- Nick B.
That guy should be friends with the IT guy at my old job who tried to tell a coworker of mine that .docx is a Photoshop extension.
- Rochelle
does microwaves interfere with all wi-fi including 802.11n? I don't have n so I'm not sure.
- Alfredo
Mind you, I am glad that OpenOffice opens docx files now. Was an issue for a little while, and I don't want to spend good money on that eye candy popping POS from MS. It was another MS ruse to get everyone to upgrade from 2003 to 2007 of course. No wonder Gates has so much money.
- Ian May
I find it believable, my Microwave causes the lights to flickr because it's connected to the same circuit. If she's on the same powerline, it could fry her hard drive or it's power source with power surges.
- Davis Freeberg
I told her that she could break the computer if she put it IN the microwave.

The texture is what is getting me. I'm trying really hard to like this stuff.

Yolanda - the texture of oatmeal is what gets me, too. That's why I find I really like baked oatmeal. I find the texture much more to my liking.

Laura, she sleeps great during the day! Night time is a different story. Much better in terms of snoring and gasping but she's still super needy at night.

It reminds me of camping or staying in my family's cabin on Manitoulin Island. That doesn't really answer your question, but it's what came to mind.

I love cotton jersey sheets but I don't have any for our queen bed.
- joey
Agree with Michael... but think jersey is close enough. Do you make Akiva dress like Al Borland before coming to bed... er um... don't answer that.
- SAM
No. A couple of issues: jersey sheets stretch all out of shape, just like tee shirts do; I like the plaid, but I would like it better as an accent to some solid or damask sheets; the plaid would be less chi-shattering if it ran parallel... Otherwise, cute and cozy ;)

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.

Oddly, Fred Meyer is one thing I totally miss about the Pacific Northwest. Those stores have *everything*. (Or at least they did as of 17 years ago when I still lived in Portland...)

Akiva, it's because you're not invited!!!!! Actually, there's a doula conference there Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 that I may be interested in going to instead of the Austin conference.
- Rochelle
The coolest thing when I was there wasn't particularly cool: there were sea gulls everywhere. Threw me for a loop until I realized it's because the Great Lakes are so close.

Abigail, Hedgehog Librarian (http://friendfeed.com/hedgeho...) would know. My parents lived there and there are some nice museums and a cool spy restaurant, but I always drove back to Chicago when I visited if I wanted to have fun
- RAPatton
Tina, seagulls are cool! They bring the babies to us. Hence the conference there...

Seagulls are all over Seattle, too. They're dirty and noisy!

brewery tours can be fun, check out lakefrontbrewery.com - Milwaukee has some really nifty old neighborhoods.

The Safehouse (a cool spy restaurant), and the lakeshore. It's a big city that's not too big. Chicago is fun, but so is Milwaukee, you just have to check around.
- Bette Cooper
Milwaukee Art Museum is pretty cool (just went there a couple of weeks ago)... interesting architecture (on the lake), A Warhol exhibit (at least for now), lots of modern stuff (my fave), a relatively large Georgia O'Keeffe collection, and the usual other hodge-podge of art and furnishings... http://www.mam.org/

I like to create gladiatorial seagull fights, by tossing them something that is too heavy to fly away with, to big to swallow, but too small to share, like a stale ass bagel. Then I sing that Star Trek TOS song from the eps where there was 1 on 1 fights.
- Matthew DeVries
Bette hit it. The Safehouse is supposed to be REALLY cool, according to friends of mine.

Josh, they and the Happy Days crew is my only touchpoint to Milwaukee. I need to get there some day and change that.

Yes. I was in MKE in October and found the people and the scene to be awesome. Food's not bad either.... or beer... or cheese, for that matter :)

Guess I need to up my 1.5M estimate... "An estimated $2 million of work is needed to meet earthquake safety codes, more than the building is worth. The roof leaks and the wallpaper peels. Recent visitors say everything stinks of cat urine. The back yard is knee-deep in weeds, and garbage is heaped in a compost pile. Raccoons poke around in the filth. The party's over." ... Strange to think of it as a tear-down.
