Well, sort of. Physical strength correlated with selfishness. So if you were rich, you were less likely to support redistribution, but you were poor, you were more likely to support redistribution.

They didn’t serve alcohol at the reception last night so me and Unca Lester had to take matters into our own hands.

We were sitting in the parking filling our flasks via funnel when I said to Lester:"You know, we may have a drinking problem." His reply:"Yeah this is entering crack addict territory. " We shrugged and promptly finished our important business.

4 i think? maybe 2? 3 and 5 are more early 80s. 1 is late 90s interpretation of 60s. (you can tell i spend a lot of time researching frames.)

Now can we write captions for each of the pics? Because, really, your expressions are awesome. For example, for #1: "Are really letting that newt crawl up your nose?"

I am envious of your long hair. It's totally gorgeous. Does that information help you choose glasses? :D
- Marie
Aw, thank you! I worry I'm too old for it. I also worry that my glasses won't match my hair if I (eventually) decide to color it. Woe, WOE, wooooooe is me.
- Meg V. Meg
Thank you guys so much, this is helpful! I'm trying to decide if #1 is too similar to my existing blue plastic frames (your affinity for #1 makes me feel much better about my current glasses), and I might look at #4 in a different color, though I'm not in love with the other colors available.

"Now they’re just messing with us. Physicists have long known that quantum mechanics allows for a subtle connection between quantum particles called entanglement, in which measuring one particle can instantly set the otherwise uncertain condition, or “state,” of another particle—even if it’s light years away. Now, experimenters in Israel have shown that they can entangle two photons that don’t even exist at the same time."

8 months (and a long long winter) later my deck is exhibiting a severe splinter danger condition. I'm not sure if the best way to deal with it is good ol' sanding, or if I should try one of those handheld planer do-jobbies. Open to advice from FF deckxperts.
Not that I'm a total expert, but I'd opt for sanding. Any new cuts you make are likely to splinter as well so I think doing things on a finer level is needed.
- Spidra Webster
My vote would be test one part with sander first going from really rough to at least 200. With planer you would still have to sand after. A hand held router also an option if it's just corners, again still have to sand after.
- SteVe C
Do it with gloves on. I've had it happen where a splinter came at me right through some sandpaper once...
- Spidra Webster
I've never used a planer of any type (handheld or benchtype or whatever) so I really have no clue as to when their use is appropriate. Given that, I figured I'd go with sanding, and like Steve suggested, use a router to round the corners. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of wood the contractor used, but I didn't specify and he went cheap. I guess I should've known better. #liveandlearn

Having sanded our entire deck two years ago - rent a commercial sander. I burned out the three we had here and tore many belts of our very old craftsman.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Good to know, Janet. I have to sand the faces of the rail boards as well. Some still have visible markings stamped on them, and some have pretty noticeable residual saw blade indentations, all of which I want to remove before I stain it later this summer. Someone told me I should wait two years before I stain/seal the wood, but it's looking like it might be taking in more moisture than it's letting out. Plus I really want to soften the 'new wood' look that really stands out against a 60 year old house.

So my FIL went to America recently, and today he visited and gave us presents! The kids both have coonskin caps and dollar bills, and Josiah has a Texas Ranger badge :D
Everyone Into The Water! L.A. River to open to kayakers, bird watchers, anglers and hikers this summer | The Eastsider LA - http://www.theeastsiderla.com/2013...
"In an experiment that could change Angeleno’s perception of the river, The L.A. River Pilot Recreation Zone officially kicks off on Memorial Day, Monday May 27, allowing the public to walk, watch birds, kayak and fish (with permits) on a 2.5 mile stretch of the Glendale Narrows waterway in Elysian Valley. The summer-long program runs during daylight hours until Labor Day (September 2) and anyone can access the river free of charge for a Class I river rapids ride that will take about 2 ½ hours. (Note: organized groups will need a permit and that can take up to five days to secure.) Only non-motorized, steerable boats – like kayaks and canoes – are permitted on the river. Sorry inner tubes and inflatable rafts, back to the pools with you."

My wife is trying to convince me that I should start using Pinterest again. Being the craft person she is, there's lots of ideas and products she can pin. For me, she said I should start pinning computer parts and other random geeky stuff. She might have a point. :P
I know a lot of my friends are completely addicted to Pinterest. I was just not that into another computer thing to suck my time away.

I <3 Lisa. Also, I <3 CR-V. I'm either getting that or a Pilot when I trade in next year (though I'm super tempted to trade in right now...).
- Hookuh Tinypants
The CR-V has a ridiculous turning radius - easier to park than that rental Impala I had. The EX comes VERY nicely loaded.

Gratz! I adore new cars of all the types.
- Lnorigb
Nice car. I seriously considered one, but couldn't quite manage it. And used ones are really hard to find within a 100 mile radius. (According to Cars.com, at least.)
- Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Well, Cristo's comment is gone. So now mine & Amanda's comments just look silly... Also, I really preferred the Subaru Forester to the CR-V back when I was looking. Although, the ease of repairing a Honda might sway me in the future IF they give them AWD... Love my Forester's AWD!
- Lisa | #TeamMonique
Wow. Great minds think alike. I really wanted a Forester when my search began. But the only used one I could find was way overpriced and a test drive proved that it wasn't mechanically up to par. But they are really really popular, as in "#1 selling car in its class" popular (at least according to Subaru.) But still, I love my Soul. Not as big, no AWD, but it has everything I really...

The Forester was a consideration for me, but TCO was through the roof if you go out 5 years. Truth be told, this is my sixth Honda in 25 years.

Whaaaa? I've never seen a used one! It might be time to finally consider my first NEW car...

all new CRV? sweeet I want one of those! :D

Honda rocks, between BMW and Honda, I chose Honda for lower price and similar features with almost certainly better quality than german engineering.
- پروتژه
Lisa - the AWD ones typically stocked are EX-Ls, which means you get leather and the premium nav system too. Fair price is about $29K.

Love it! Sadly I'm about to be dropped (I mean extinguished) by leveled-up knockout drops, or I'd have a clever Chfistopher-White-referential name for the car. But BlacoBlanco isn't yanking my chaiiiiii.............n.n.......n........n.........
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Any time. :) I must be getting old; this time around I shopped safety before style. IMO I got both with this car. IHSA has this one second to the Forester, BTW - they're more or less neck and neck.

Is there already a book club room on FF? (Ideally one that focuses on the free Kindle Owners' Lending Library for Amazon Prime members?) - http://www.amazon.com/gp...
I'm game, so long as I don't have to buy a Kindle. (Nothing against them, per se, but I just got myself a tablet and I've got enough redundancy in my life.) #OrMaybeiamThinkingofDundancy?

I like both "BooKlub" and "FFolio" for the name -- any other nominations before I create it? Any preference between the two?

Add me too! I have Kindle squared - cat and ereader. You can have my books but not the cat. ;)

I suppose "Kindler's List" would be silly. :P

I'm there. I 'd love to share some of my loanable books, and maybe grab some too.

There is a Reading Room on FF: http://friendfeed.com/the-boo... You might ask there for more interested FFers or even cross-post when you set up your new one.

OK, sorry for delays -- busy week at work. Any objections to Kindler's List before I create it? I suppose if there are, I can always rename it.
