<p>Last workday for me!  We're heading to Vegas tomorrow.  We're going to see Garth Brooks on Sunday night, but we haven't made any other plans.  We barely have a wish list.  So nice to be unscheduled...I hope I can function that way </p>

<p>GARTH BROOKS!  Super jealous. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a sinus disurbance going on today so I'm going to try to get into the Dr for a zpack and get it under control before it gets out of control.</p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Haha.  Garth Brooks comment is funny given I saw someone posted something on FB about dreaming that his wife had an affair with GB.  ???  Weird.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, SUPAH FUN day for me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have to drive to Milwaukee for lunch with our CEO today.  There is no real purpose for the meeting other than getting together to say hello.  So - this lunch (involving almost 3 hours of driving) will shoot my day into non-billable oblivion.  SO, I slept in this morning, am working a little from home, will jump on the TM for a while, then head to MKE for my lunch.  Afterwards, I will detour to the Ann Taylor outlet on my way back and do a little retail therapy.  Then a wee bit of work from home before I get to go to a surprise party for my good friend's 40th birthday party.  How's that for a Wednesday!   Ooh - and I slept in until 6:30 and my boys were in AWESOME moods this morning.  </p>

<p>RIL - Way to make it a Winnah Day!</p>

<p>I had a 7am meeting followed by a 8-10am class.  You get hungry early when you eat breakfast at 530!!!!</p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p> </p>
<p>Fun = knitting with the ladies this afternoon/evening, and YouTubeKatie is going. WOohoo!!!</p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>I thought Garth Brooks retired a few years ago...</p>

<p>Hey, I'm still having problems changing my avatar.  I get the following error whenever I try to upload a new jpeg from my computer:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/73256/width/1000/height/800/flags/" target="_blank"><img alt="Error.JPG" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="16000" data-type="61" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/16000/width/303/height/126" style="; width: 303px; height: 126px"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Has anyone changed their avatar lately?  Has anyone tried and failed?  I had tried about a week ago and got this error, and I guess I was hoping that the error would go away if I gave it some time.  <span><img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>  But that didn't happen.  Anyone know what the problem is?  Or do I need to contact satfix?</p>

 

[phdatc]

<p>I changed mine a few days ago with no problem... perhaps contact satfix!<br>

<p>Hi, ho, everyone!  Trying to pull myself back to the land of the living.  Big life decisions are swirling in my mind, and it's making me a little crazy, but I'll handle it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First classes today at 1:00 and 3:00 this afternoon.  That's sleepy-time for me, but maybe this will mean I'll have totally productive mornings every day.  Yeah, right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Belated hugs and congrats to the <strong>KJ</strong> family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I stitched yesterday, but then I discovered that I was one stitch off and had to "reverse stitch" about 3/4 of what I had done.  I hate that, so I gave up and turned on A-Team from Netflix.  I was really getting into it and the disc pooped out.  There was a dent in the disc so it was unplayable after 45 minutes on two different players.  I hate that too, so I watched When Harry Met Sally on Instant.  Much better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one folks!</p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p>ouchie!!!  I just got my 2nd Hep B shot and already my arm is hurty.  But on the bright side I did finally get a Daffy Duck band aid.  I prefer him over the Wascally Wabbit and that's who I've gotten the last couple of shots. </p>

 

[mmoonptdeux]

<p>Hi all - had another one of those "geez, you're getting old" moments.  My niece Kayla came over all proud of and sporting her new knit cap and I realized how much she had grown, and also that she's not too far away from venturing into the tween category.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>((((Theia))))</strong> I hope you're feeling better after that fall!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I have a new favorite "As Seen On TV" type product, in that I would actually buy this for someone just to see if it worked <span><img alt="laughing7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing7.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.robostir.com/" target="_blank">Robostir - Your Third Hand In The Kitchen</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In fact, make that a <strong>QOD</strong>: have you actually bought an "As Seen On TV" product?  And if so, one that worked as advertised?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I only bought one - The Medicus, which helped correct swing flaws in your golf stroke.  It did actually work - my iron shots went from atrocious to merely mediocre heh</p>

<p>Remember me??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The last week here has been a bust.  Today is actually my first day in the office since last Wednesday, because of mother nature.  That, and the guy who plows my driveway has been a no show. So I went a bought a snowblower.  It is scheduled to be delivered on Friday, and we are expecting more snow on Friday, so I will have to see how the timing works out.  At least I will have some sense of control now.  It sucks to be stuck in the house for hours\days on end waiting on someone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> - The Shark. It works quite well, although it will loosen the glue on cheap peel-and-stick linoleum tile (which I hope to be removing in the next year or so anyway).</p>

 

[phdatc]

<p><strong>QOD</strong> - Snuggie.  Love mine!  It is black with skull and crossbones!!</p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p>QOD  the snuggie and the Kitchen Ninja.  LOVE the Ninja.  wear the snuggie at work. </p>

<p><strong>QOD</strong>:  The only thing I bought off the TV was a two-disc Forever 80s mix.  One disc was better than the other, but there were a lot of good classics on that.  I'll have to go find that!</p>

 

[amichel]

<p>QOD: I have lots of as seen on tv stuff, but I never order from the tv advertisement.  I either get it at Walgreens or from the LTD catalog</p>

<p>Hi Litch!  <span><img alt="wave.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif" style="width:25px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>I'm leaving work early today to take my son to his first counseling session and hoping that this helps because I'm at the end of my tether.  I don't know if he's actively making poor choices, or if he's suffering from depression, or if he's bipolar.  No joke. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Then I'm hitting the gym for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">my</span> mental health. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><strong>QOD:</strong> I can't think of any "As Seen on TV" products that I've bought, other than P90X and that's not really a product, like the Flo-Bee or Ginsu knives.  "It can cut through a tin can and then slice through this tomato like it's butter!".  But I can't wait to hear what other people have gotten!!</span></p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p>front ways.  I only got it to piss off one of the bosses last winter but actually it's become pretty handy to have around. <br><br>

<p>I'm still curious though - I would like to hear what's worked well for you (or for that matter, what's worked like total carp)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That reminds me of a couple other items I got based on TV ads but didn't order directly from the 1-800 number - the Iron Gym (got it at a Sportsmart - works great as a pull-up bar) and the Perfect Pushup (hand me down from my parents, who weren't going to use it) seems like you could tweak your elbows, wrists, etc. mightily if you're not careful)<br><br>
