Raw Black Forrest Dulce de leche Cheesecake
This was a super simple collard/rice noodle bowl. I used brown rice noodles.
As my regular readers know, I don't use recipes... so here is a fast guess:
1 t toasted sesame oil
1 onion
2 T minced ginger
3 cloves garlic, pressed
a huge bunch collards washed and chopped
2 oz rice noodles
water to cover
1 chipotle pepper in adobo (canned) chopped
2 T Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing
Toasted Sesame Seeds
4 oz baked light tofu (this came out of my freezer)
lime juice
Comes in around 400 calories for a huge bowl and is VERY satisfying.
I have been such a slacker when it comes to weight loss. I'm not sure why I can't seem to find it in me to just DO IT! ???
Must Swim. I think it's just a matter of getting into the right exercise habits... AND... laying off the huge sandwiches at my job! Yeah.. that's the ticket.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...

But a year having passed, should we now release it from its permanent position at the top of the forum? Or leave it in that primary position as long as the forum exists? I have no vested interest either way.

Tim De Chant at Per Square Mile reached this conclusion based on a study by historians Walter Schiedel and Steven Friesen.
Rome's top 1% controlled 16 percent of the wealth, compared to modern America where the top 1% controls 40 percent of the wealth.
Looking at the Gini coefficient, where 0 means perfect equality and 1 means perfect inequality, Rome measured between 0.42 and 0.44. Modern America scores worse at 0.45, and some areas are much worse like Fairfield County, Conn. with an alarming 0.54.
De Chant comments on a telling line from the essay by Shiedel and Friesen:
[A]t the end, they make a point that's difficult to parse, yet provocative. They point out that the majority of extant Roman ruins resulted from the economic activities of the top 10 percent. "Yet the disproportionate visibility of this 'fortunate decile' must not let us forget the vast but—to us—inconspicuous majority that failed even to begin to share in the moderate amount of economic growth associated with large-scale formation in the ancient Mediterranean and its hinterlands."
In other words, what we see as the glory of Rome is really just the rubble of the rich, built on the backs of poor farmers and laborers, traces of whom have all but vanished. It's as though Rome's 99 percent never existed. Which makes me wonder, what will future civilizations think of us?

They're ready. The Packers have a ways to go before they're ready to play a regular season game, but they're more than ready to play a game that doesn't count. The 2013 Pre-Season opens at Lambeau as the Pack welcomes the Arizona Cardinals for a 7:00 PM kickoff. The last of the 8:20 AM training camp practices was held today and Head Coach Mike McCarthy had the guys take the pads off. It was helmets and shorts for the 1:45 workout. There was a lot of jog through work against Arizona formations and it got a bit too lackadasical for McCarthy's liking. Halfway through practice, McCarthy gathered the team in a circle and lit into them pretty good. The final team periods, red zone work for the offense and defense, was a lot crisper. 16 players were not taking part, another very high number. Added to the list was T.J. Lang who injured his back in a collission on Wednesday. Lane Taylor was excused by the coach. After the intramural scuffles Wednesday, Thursday's practice was more tame as the team is anxious to hit someone other than a teammate.
McCarthy said after practice he wants to play every able bodied player in uniform. It's the first game and he promised every player they'd get an opportunity and he wants to hold himself to that. All four quarterbacks are slated to take snaps, including Vince Young who has practiced only three days with the team. Meetings Thursday night and Friday morning will determine which of the injured players will dress, don't expect many of them to play. With Lang hurting, Bryan Bulaga headed for surgery, and J.C. Tretter still on crutches from his pre-camp injury, the offensive line will be taxed. Only 9 may dress and the top flight starters like Josh Sitton and Marshall Newhouse may only see limited action.
The rookies are understandably excited. I talked with several draft picks like Johnathan Franklin and Micah Hyde after practice and they can't wait for their first "real" game as a pro. Another pick, seventh rounder Sam Barrington was a bit more measured and actually quite thoughtful about making his professional debut:
Audio: Rookie Linebacker Sam Barrington
The Cardinals are coming with a new regime, longtime Pittsburgh Steeler offensive coordinator Bruce Ariens, last year's interm coach for "Chuck Strong" Chuck Pagano in Indianapolis, is the new head coach, getting his first crack at running his own club. Arizona also traded for Carson Palmer, looking for their first productive quarterback since Kurt Warner. McCarthy said playing a team installing a new system will ensure his offense and defense will encounter plenty of unscouted looks which may lead to some chaotic looking play but it will pay dividends later on. I'll have a final preview and specfic things to look for on my next post tomorrow morning.

We originally were trained on it, but what I can say is we have not had the required refresher training," he answered.A shocking and dangerous revelation -- lapses in life saving, critical training for Detroit city fire fighters. McNamara says the city won't pay."We're mad as hell that we're not being able to give them the opportunity to do our jobs that we're supposed to be doing," McNamara told me. "Our fire fighters are starting to write letters now to the commissioner requesting training."At some point, all fire fighters were trained, but like most fields, if you don't use it, you lose it.McNamara can't remember the last time some courses were offered. He says he's repeatedly requested refresher courses in CPR, confined space rescue, rapid water rescue, icy water rescue and Hazmat training."Every taxpayer in every community pays for three or four levels of police service -- sheriff's deputies, state police, local police. How many levels of EMS and fire are you paying for? One," he said.Tuesday, fire fighters worked tirelessly to save six-year-old Julio Chavez and his four-year-old brother, Mike. The two were home alone when their house caught fire.It's still under investigation, but sources say it could have been a mattress fire started by a candle. Both boys were barely conscience. No EMS was called to the scene because the initial call didn't indicate anyone was inside the house. The fire crews transported the kids to the hospital. Thankfully they knew CPR, but sadly six-year-old Julio did not survive. Four-year-old Mike was listed in critical condition.Detroit is one of the few cities in the country that doesn't automatically send EMS to dwelling fire or at least staff a fire truck with a paramedic."It's only when the system fails that that problem comes up to us," said McNamara."Did the system fail yesterday?" I asked him."Yes," he responded.McNamara is now asking the state for an official investigation into the department's lack of training. He believes the city will only act if someone holds their feet to the fire."We're doing the best we can with what we've been trained to, and we're going to do that. We're going to do it instantaneously. But the city's liable," he said.We received the following response from Detroit Executive Fire Commissioner Don Austin:"During initial training at the Fire Academy, all fire fighter candidates are trained for Medical First Responder (MFR) certification, as required by the State of Michigan. MFR certification includes knowledge of CPR. "Fire fighters should be trained for CPR recertification every two years, under American Heart Association requirements. The Detroit Fire Department will initiate a program to train fire fighters in CPR for recertification next month."

Ok so I decided to start temping again along with the OPKs. I started temping on CD4 and so far my temps seem low (I've only compared them to Karen/beanpop temps thou). I did some googling and it seems like low BBT can be a sign of hypothyroidism and or low progesterone.
I've been on thyroid meds since last October and my levels are good now. When I had progesterone tested in October it was low too.
Does anyone have any expirence with low BBT and getting/staying pregnant?

Agility Favorites
What obstacle does your dog prefer?

My collie, Wyatt, LOVES the jumps, basically because he loves to run and play chase. But getting him through the tunnels was just a stitch--my husband was actually at class this particular night and was taking photos, so we have an entire series of pictures with our trainer at one end of the tunnel, myself at the other, and Wyatt in various stages with the tunnel in the middle. By the time he actually went all the way through, we were all laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. Agility is definitely a work in progress for us, but the running (herding?) is his absolutely favorite activity; and if he can pull another dog away from the class to chase him, he's in seventh heaven. LOL

Believe it or not my lil agility chihuahua has got the weave poles down best! He always messes up on other things here or there but never the poles. I think it's because he's small so it's not a huge struggle for him to make it through quickly. Now if only he'd do the teater or table as well!

My dogs favorite is the A-frame. She is an afghan hound which is not a breed known for agility so we worked hard to succeed many of the pieces of equipment. She loves it all now but the A frame is her very favorite,she just flies over it everyone loves to watch her.

My two Dalmatians love the jumps! When we do USDAA, I always look for a jump line to start Gamblers because it really gets them moving. I think jumping appeals to their playful nature and the urge to run as fast as possible.
My youngest, a mix in training, loves the dogwalk because we've practiced it so much for a running contact. She also enjoys the weave poles because we used Susan Garrett's 2x2 method to build value for them. Can't wait for her first show!

My Italian Greyhound is a tunnel sucker. She LOVES the tunnel and it's one of my biggest concerns when planning our course. I have to make sure she takes the next jump and NOT the tunnel that may be near by! I read your post with envy. My Dinah HATES the table and it's the one obstacle that consistently keeps us from Q-ing.

My Westie is a tunnel monster but it wasn't always that way. He used to LOVE the dog walk but recently I can't keep him out of the tunnels, which is beginning to turn into a big problem. During our second agility trial, Cody decided he'd much prefer to take the tunnel than go up the dog walk. When he exited the tunnel the first time I called him back to me to get him to go over the dog walk, only to have him zoom right by me and back in the tunnel. He did this 3 times, just running as fast as he could in a big circle in and out of the tunnel. I was so embarrassed but the spectators just laughed and said that Cody had a better time that day than any of the other dogs... I wish I could say the same for me! Cody just loves to run and have fun!!!

I think vBulletin is pretty good as long as one can keep up, at least to some extent, with the upgrades. Every time things get bad with spam here, it tends to be solved with an upgrade that had not been done for a while, and from what I've heard about the current issues, they will be solved as soon as it can be upgraded.
I am having to manually enter all of my paragraphs. Luckily, after the first one, I just copy and paste.
DH is starting to take shaky steps around the house and drank a bit of Gatorade. R. went back to school today but I just got called to go bring him some clothes because he had an accident in his pants. I got there with a bunch of plastic bags, a change of clothes, baby wipes, and hustled him into a private bathroom, and he pulled down his pants and they were clean. I questioned him about this supposed accident, and he told me that he'd told a classmate he pooped his pants because he thought he had. He never actually even went to the bathroom to find out.
I encouraged him to try to go, and then I was going to take him back to class and he said his stomach was hurting. I tried to talk to him more about it, since he denied any complaints when I first got there. He said it was hurting because he didn't like school and just wanted to go home. I said there was only an hour left of school and this was the best part of the day, and I found his change of story suspicious, but in the end I'm glad I brought him because he's been running to the toilet every few minutes since we got here. So here we go again.
I have been encouraged to take my cats in for teeth cleanings under general anesthesia on a regular basis, but I have to admit I have not done so. In fact, I don't even take them in for annual physicals.
I haven't had any problems with paragraphs. Am I a special snowflake?
Ash, now I want to book into the dentist just to sink my teeth into him. Wish he were cuter!
I can do paragraphs as well on my phone and laptop...freaky!
My dentist is a beautiful young Indian woman called Heena, but I don't think I'd ever bite her...hehehe. My dentist before her was a big fat guy who looked like a walrus because he had a bald head and handlebar moustache....I much prefer my new lady to him-his belly used to be waaay too close to my face when he was cleaning my teeth.
And I'm going to confess that I don't go to dentists. We have great dental insurance, but I don't trust them. I think I have mentioned before how my cousin's husband went to 5 different dentists for their 'complimentary' checkup. Each one told him that his teeth were in dire need of cleaning, he needed root canal, etc. No two would agree on which teeth needed the work. He got nothing done, and has had no problems. This was 8 or 10 years ago. I have gone to dentists in India, who tell me my teeth are in great shape, to keep doing whatever I'm doing, and to NOT get routine cleaning like they recommend in the US, because it's essentially power washing your enamel, and you can erode it simply by doing that. I have all 32 of my teeth, no cavities, and so far, no problems.
Last edited by Suja; 02-28-2013 at 04:22 PM.
I have gone every 6 months since I was a baby and no cavities. But have only seen a few my entire life. My childhood one who also did my braces. On to my parents. Tried one in Milwaukee who wanted to drill for cavities that day. I left crying and went down to my old one who told me that I didn't have cavities...I had an odd tooth on each side (same on both sides) and that it was just how my teeth are and they just need to be watched. When I moved across state I was so nervous to find one but realistically I cannot drive 5 hours for the dentist. I got lucky on the first try and mine here says the same thing. Just spots to watch. And they don't do the power washing cleanings here, just scraping cleanings. I had my first adult guy do power washing though and it didn't seem to hurt my enamel since last year I had some kind of laser diamond treatment to get rid of some stains on the front teeth and was told I had too much enamel. If I ever was told I had a cavity....they better show me the xrays before they are touching me.
Suja, I've always felt the dental industry in the US is a HUGE gimmick. They'd have us believing glow-in-the-dark teeth were attractive if we listened to them. I personally think it's nasty if someone has teeth whiter than their eyeballs.
We have only taken our cats in for shots and when they show signs of illness. Our vet is so strange. He is a really large, hairy man with a thick austrian(?) accent. The last time I brought Apple in for her shots I had Savana and Kai with me and he was like, "Ok children. You must not let your cat play with toys. They will eat your legos and choke." Then he looked at me and I was I was looking at him like wtf? and he winked and said, "They will not do it for you, Mom. But they will do it for the cat." Then he told me to watch out for tinsel at xmas time and I said yes I'd heard about that and he said, "You will hear many things, Mom. Many, many things, most of which are not true." And then he just stood there staring at me and it was so awkward! When we left the kids were like, "Why did he say the cat would eat our toys?" and I said that I thought he was trying to help keep the house picked up. We had a good laugh.
We went to the farm store today and I forgot they don't take credit cards so I had no money to pay for my $300 worth of groceries. The whole reason I went is they have this chicken sausage that Kai loves and good gravy I cannot get this boy to eat anything these days so I NEEDED them. Plus I was out of raw honey and that's an every day staple here. Can you believe the girl at the counter did not even flinch. She grabbed an envelope, wrote the address on it and told me to mail a check!
Next stop was a thrift store where I realized when I got to the counter that I must have left the credit card on the counter at the farm store. So I pulled out another one and it was denied. I remembered that we had reported that one missing when I lost my purse once so no biggie except Savana yelled, "That's the EXACT same thing that happened at the last store!" I gave a meek and distracted smile as I dug through my purse because I knew I had a 20 in there somewhere and I was trying to tell Kai and Sawyer to pick up and hold the beach ball we were buying instead of kicking it around. As I found the 20, Kai gave the ball a good kick and it flew threw the air and bounced off the head of the kind old woman admiring the children at the checkout next to me. Holy mortification. I apologized profusely while Kai shoved the collar of his shirt in his mouth and turned bright red, knowing he'd made a big mistake. he is not allowed to touch the beach ball until i catch him making responsible choices ten times. And I did not make eye contact with anyone leaving that store!
Aw Bridget. Kids do have a way of throwing us under the bus sometimes. We were at the vet the other day and Josh was giving this detailed description about how we always hit Bo and then he's afraid. None of us hit Bo except DH who will occasionally tap him on the nose or tap his butt if he's doing something that he really shouldn't be doing, like begging for food. Josh made it sound like we abuse the poor thing!
That is awesome about the farm store!Bo just did the funniest thing. When he's thirsty he goes and lifts up the toilet seat a couple times so it makes a banging noise. He never drinks the water, just makes some noise.
Oh, man, Bridget! That sounds like an awful shopping experience!
Myles, it's not so much vBulletin as the fact that we are running an out-of-date version. Whatever upgrades were required for the new server are not compatible. The site should run just fine once the upgrade is complete.
As for pets and dentistry, we never took in Nero or Gwennie for dental work. N was two years older than G and had perfect, white teeth his entire life. Gwennie is 9 now and her teeth are in bad shape. Bad breath, and she will need a tooth extracted soon. They ate the same diet (in fact, Nero ate pretty much everything so I'm certain he ate far more junk than she ever did). It seems to be genetic and some animals need it more than others.
Vampire Kitty is only 3 and her breath stinks to high heaven. To the point I can't stand her breathing on me. Her humans gave her canned Fancy Feast or similar crap daily and my commitment to high-quality pet food is even stronger after getting to know her. Her teeth smell worse than Gwennie's do and Gwennie is three times her age. Oh, and VK's human told me that she cried in the night for no reason and they never knew why. She did cry when she first came to us. Since we switched her to Blue, she stopped the random night crying (she mews a lot, though). I think it was upsetting her tummy.

B, that store right there that gave you an envelop to send in a check, totally makes up for the twilight zone you sometimes feel you live in. That rules.
Finally got confirmation from CIT that I was right all along. Can't wait till tomorrow's webex conference call. Neener neener neener.
Good for you, Chrissy!

I knew I was right. The frustration has all stemmed from their flat out refusal to believe me when I walked them through the steps I took and told them the results I saw. I spent 2 hours going through all the steps, including clearing all the cache and stripping my Outlook. I took a screenshot of each step. They couldn't deny it...so they tried it themselves and guess what? They got the same results I have been telling them about. Jerks.

Good news for my MIL is looks like she will be safe and not out of a job. But still getting divorced and once the house sells moving anyway. but at least it's much better to leave she wants to leave the job instead of leaving by force. And after talking to her more, sounds like she is going to go up to milwaukee and stay with grandpa. I kind of had a feeling she would feel obligated to do that. He does good for 92 but just a few months ago finally stopped driving and really probably shouldn't be living alone.
My sister is getting our tickets for Wicked tonight. She loves it but DH and I haven't gone yet so the four of us (her gf too) are all going in June. Right around what will be our 10th wedding anniversary.
My parents are coming for the weekend tomorrow! I was going to do a half day at work but am now taking a whole day because I have to take DH to urgent care in the morning. He works with metal and has a sliver of it stuck really deep in his thumb near the joint. I cannot get it and he hasn't been able to either. Hopefully it will be easy for them, just numb it up and go in with much better instruments than my crummy tweezers. Hate to pay for an appt just for a sliver but it's irritated and swollen and red (not infected looking yet). Well at least I know he had tetanus back in Sept when we both got a Tdap.
Owie. Rich has had those. They are painful...and can easily lead to infection, which it sounds like this one is trying to do. Best to have it taken out professionally.
Sounds like a great way to celebrate the big 10! And yay for MIL not losing her job. Boo about her not moving with you guys quite yet.
Is your mil still planning to eventually move in with you?
Chrissy, you'll have to let us know how they grovel tomorrow. Will they?
Myles, you are totally a special snowflake.
L, I hope the tummy crummies are headed out. I can't imagine dealing with that as much as it seems like you guys do. We get a lot of cold/cough type stuff but puking has been very rare thank goodness. The last time I got the pukes was right before I found out I was pregnant with Sawyer. But I had been exposed to a virus by one of my daycare kids who puked all over me, plus I think my immune system was suffering from lack of sleep and that's when my mom got really sick so it was just par for the course at that point. It's a sh!tty illness.
So dbf called me all flustered a couple of days ago. When he visits stores that are opening, he works with the manager and they go out into the community to promote the new joint and offer free pizzas to local businesses, shake hands with the community so to speak. Well the gm of this store apparently was a dream as far as his personality and had not problem doing everything they wanted him to do (a lot do have trouble with it. I know it takes a certain type of person to have that sort of "energy". I couldn't do it.) Anyway, apparently the guy has awful teeth. Like, sparce and black. So when the owner of the store called dbf to see how he'd done, dbf told her straight up that the guy was awesome and hard working and she couldn't ask for a better manager but he's the face of the company and should get his teeth fixed. I admit, I cringed when he told me the story. It felt wrong deep inside me where I know it's wrong to judge someone for how they look. But I saw his point. I also worried about his wording because he is not bubbling with couth. Fast forward to today and that gm called him in tears, thanking him for whatever he said because the store owner is paying for him to have his teeth fixed! He said he just can't believe it and he's so grateful. All's well that ends well, I guess!
omg-I couldn't have seen that coming B. I cringed just reading it...but man, dbf's insensitivity actually helped someone tremendously. How about that. Good for him.
No, there will be no groveling. They will blame Microsoft (they actually have 3 Microsoft guys on sight this week) and make excuses about why they didn't try it themselves first, if they even bring that up at all. Faye assured me she is going to nicely put them on the spot and be a b1tch in a sweet way tomorrow. I can't wait.
Wow I thought the teeth story was going to have a bad ending but what a great one! I mean not great teeth is one thing but really bad ones, yeah that can affect how people see you. It's so great that this worked out so well.
Chrissy that is beyond frustrating and what a mess! All above my head. My frustrations are much simpler....like publishers changing names of journals. A pain to update everywhere and change shelving and all that. Or my favorite this week is people who cannot count. One journal....last month was fine. was Vol 38 issue 4. This month it was Vol 40 issue 5. Ummm yeah someone cannot count. I have another that has been Vol 15 issue 6 for THREE months. Kind of a pain when I make in the catalog that it's 16(2) and the stupid physical copy says 15(6).
Well I don't know. I think that all of us would probably have her getting her own apartment as the ideal. So much is up in the air and depends. She doesn't want to be a burden on anyone and I think would ideally prefer her own space and kitchen.....and I'm not the problem but sometimes her and DH can just be too alike. Really it will come down to the money. She is 62 in two weeks but wants to hold off on claiming her ss and we are still hoping that once divorced, she can claim on her second ex husband whose dead. I'm positive she can once divorced but the ssi office gave her the run around on the phone. So I plan on going on in person with her to apply once the divorce is done. I have documents from the SSI website and will print those out and highlight exactly where it says she can claim on a dead ex husband long as she's not married. So hopefully she can live with her dad pretty much rent free, work full-time with health insurance or part-time and collect on her dead ex. The biggest issue is health care until Medicare kicks in at 65. So we are waiting to see what the health exchanges do this fall or WI has a high risk plan right now she could do. Basically though most of her money would go for health insurance and pills....she has a couple where there aren't generics yet and she can easily spend over 100 a month on pills WITH insurance. And she will likely get inheritance from grandpa if he doesn't go through it (which hopefully when he goes, it's something nice like in his sleep instead of this lingering suffering BS that some people go through). This current husband really effed up things for her though. I mean she was fine, had a good job and a house in milwaukee and he talked her into moving to chicago and promised to always take care of her. he decides after 7 years he is "not in love" anymore (though says he loves her) and thinks it should be all easy to just move on and get a divorce...no counseling, nothing to try to get the spark back. that was over two years ago since they had a house underwater until recently. Nothing like being in your 60's and thinking about a new job and moving and worrying about your health insurance......when a few months before it all went down, she was thinking about retirement in a few years. Uggg, I love my MIL but OMG she has the worst taste in men. DH's dad was ok and she got him out of it but he never could grow up and is a loser. Number 2 who thankfully is dead was an abusive *insert bad words*. And now number three, the fake irritating liar. We told her no more getting married unless he is really rich and there isn't a prenup. LOL
Oh Jennifer, Wicked is awesome. I don't know if any of you guys remember but something that attracted me to the Secular forum was that you all were talking about Wicked. I'm sure not all of you were here, back then.
Wow Bridget, that is sort of great in a weird way that your dbf saying that allowed him to get his teeth fixed. It reminds me of that show Undercover Boss where a head honcho of a company goes in disguise to see how the employees of his company are doing, and he rewards good workers with money for school, or a vacation or something.
I do agree, that the face of a company does not necessarily have to be attractive, but they do have to look like they take care of themselves.
Bridget, I am actually proud of your DH.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I know! Me too. He is really good at this job.
The only problem I have with the site now is that I can't change my siggie... But otherwise, paragraphs and everything seem fine...
I never take my pets regularly to the vet for anything. My last dog did end up needing a lot of dental work in her old age, so obviously I need to brush their teeth more often (need to, but so far, am not doing a great job...).
We, however, do go to the dentist regularly. Maybe it's all a gimmick, but I feel better knowing they're looked at, and if we ever did have a problem, hopefully it would be caught early. My dentist has never tried to pull anything on me. But, then, I did end up marrying his grandson...
Bridget, sorry about that trip to the store! Sounds rough... And amazing the way that story ended up. Sounds like the dental work will be much appreciated!
Chrissy, good job showing everyone up!! I hate dealing with IT, they're basically useless, and everything is "user error" until YOU manage to convince them otherwise. Ugh, bringing back not so fond memories!!
Jennifer, hope things with your MIL work out well. I know what it's like, though, to have a wonderful woman who finds the worst men. My Grandma was the same. Sweetest woman EVER, everyone loved her. She died at 82, after being sick for years, and still had hundreds of people come to her funeral. But she also had HORRIBLE taste in men. She went through three husbands in her life, and luckily, stopped there. Hope your MIL stops, too, and can get on with her own life!
L, hope you all are recovered soon! Maiya still asks every other day to go back to Fairyland with you guys ("and hopefully Claire won't bump her teeth next time..."), so maybe we can try again when you are well.
And thanks all for the well wishes for my IUI and my dog! The IUI went well, we had 21.6 million sperm, which is still definitely MFI, but also one of our best ever, and more than we had for Maiya. For Maiya, I had 5 follies, and this time only 4, but we shall see. I am still hopeful! I'm trying to take it easy. We will know in about 2 weeks! And my poor dog... He only has one gash, but it was wide open, and cut through all layers of his skin. He is miserable today, and can't run for the next 2 weeks. He is a very high energy australian shepherd who is used to going for 5 hour hikes every few days. It's going to be a long 2 weeks for him (and all of us who have to deal with him, poor boy), too!!
Janet, that number may not be ideal, but it's definitely enough to be successful! Good luck!
That will be a long two weeks for everyone. Poor puppy!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I am IT. I'm the intermediary between my users in Alumni Affairs and Development and Cornell's central systems (like our email). I mostly do desktop support, user training, and image the new computers (or re-image existing, broken ones). If I reach the point where I'm calling CIT, they should just know I've done all the troubleshooting on my end that could possibly be done. I might suck at a lot of things, but not computers. And my manager is smarter than me, so if she's saying to call them...it's beyond our control. Like I said, it was just frustrating to continuously hear back that everything was our fault, our users were doing x,y,z wrong. I knew they weren't. In a lot of cases, it IS true that the problem is a PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) but if it had been the case I wouldn't have been calling CIT.
Jennifer, I'm sure things will work out for your MIL. It's always an anxious time when you don't know for sure what the next step is going to be, but it sounds like she has great options and a couple back-up plans. She'll get her ex's SS. I don't know why some workers give people a hard time about that because she will be eligible. My mom should be able to get SS through my dad once she's 62 I think. Maybe 65. It's a few hundred more a month and she's going to apply as soon as she's eligible. She only gets 600-something now. :/ Maybe close to 700, but seriously, how can anyone live on that?
It is pretty much impossible to live on what SS provides. That's part of the reason my parents lived to India. Multiply the few 100 bucks SS pays by 50, and OMG, they can't spend all their money if they tried. Back home, they can live as well as they want, go to shows, take vacations, come here to visit us, etc. without a second thought.
Janet, poor pup, and poor you! Can't imagine having to live with a crazy Aussie that cannot be exercised. YIKES!
Bridget, I was SO sure where that was going. Good to be proven wrong. I'm sure that DBF was effusive in praise for the guy, which probably helped him keep his job.
Jennifer, did they get the sliver out? Way back when Khan dislocated my elbow, I was at the ER, waiting to get it taken care of. A bunch of young people came in, accompanying a girl that had a rather large wooden sliver embedded under her finger nail. You could see it through the nail, and it was AWFUL. So, there I am, with my arm bones making a T instead of a ball/socket, almost ready to throw up from seeing a sliver under the finger nail.
L, hope The Plague is gone now. We've only had to deal with a stomach virus a couple of times, and it's awful, awful, awful.
Love that story, Bridget! I was wincing too... but what a sweet ending! Sometimes blunt honesty is sorely needed, and yay for your dbf being brave enough to say what needed to be said. Really bad teeth can definitely hold people back in life. It's a real problem. How sweet that the owner is stepping up -- that's a great employer!
Suja, I'm sometimes skeptic of dentists too. We always go every six months, but I used to have a family dentist who I'd seen since childhood and trusted. Since we moved here, I had to pick a new one and I just didn't like the guy. Seemed smarmy, and a couple of the things he said I needed to have done, I just didn't trust. I went to someone else -- a mom in my mom's group, actually, who was highly recommended -- and she agreed that the stuff he wanted to do was unnecessary. It's awful that medical professionals can take advantage of folks like that. I don't blame you for being wary.
Jennifer, I'm glad your dh is going in to get the sliver out! That happened to my dad once - got a tiny sliver of metal, almost invisible, in his thumb from a diy project. It was a little sore, but he was on a trip and decided to wait to take care of it until he got home. Well, on his long flight home, it swelled up and started hurting him so much he almost passed out. By the time he got off the plane he was a shaky, feverish mess, and his thumb was the size of a lemon. He needed a little surgery and lots of abx to treat the infection. Good for you guys for being on top of the situation!
M update. I stayed home from work today and right now he is cuddled up next to me on the couch snoozing. Would you believe he's never really been able to do that before? At first just getting up on the couch was a huge adventure and got him all excited. Then he would get up and want to play with me and end up just pestering me. I've been pretty clear that he can get up, but once he starts pestering he needs to get down. That usually takes less than five minutes. He's finally maturing enough that he can just cuddle - so sweet! I my puppy.

SMF Community Helpers > SMF Documentation Help
The Wiki
(1/15) > >>
Joshua Dickerson:
As I just announced Simple Machines is moving to a wiki for its main source of documentation. I have a number of reasons for this. Namely, resources. The amount of people willing to write documentation is extremely scarce. It is boring and tedious to say the least.
So, what does that mean for us? The Doc Team, along with the Doc Helpers will mainly focus on moderating and editing documents. The permissions will match that.
We are currently waiting for the wiki to be installed. Derek is apparently pretty busy. Sleepy wants us to use a sub domain, so that's what it will be - http://wiki.simplemachines.org
I will be installing the translate extension and the Doc Team/Helpers will be working closely with the Internationalization team to translate documents. My hope is that documents will be written in multiple languages and those can be translated to and from English. As well, it will promote our non-English speaking communities. As you all know, we are severely lacking on documentation for them. As soon as migration from the OM begins to happen I want us to start using Google Translate. I'm hoping this will give the users and translators a place to start translations. At least then they can fix the sentences instead of writing a whole page over.
I want us to use the progress bar extension in the discussion page. I am debating whether or not to install an issue tracker or todo list for us.
There are several other extensions I am researching. If you have any suggestions I am all ears. This is my first time using a wiki at a large scale and not too many people on the team are all that knowledgeable about them either. So, if you have any knowledge you'd like to throw at us, please do.
Oh yeah, go visit the test wiki wiki!
Yes, that's right, the test wiki is no longer in use. We now have a site here - http://wiki.simplemachines.org
Kill Em All:
Cool beans. Can't wait for it to be all set up.
I think a Wiki is a great idea. The only think I'm thinking is people normally leave reply's to documentation about questions and jade and B used to reply too.
I'm guessing this will no longer be available.
In a wiki (in a number of them, anyway), one can have, linked to the main page, a discussion page. Just press "discuss" or "talk" and you're there. Permissions could be setup for users to leave questions there, and be given answers. Honestly I don't remember how you do that in mediawiki specifically, but I think you can.
Sure, it would be possible for the main page as well, but I don't know if the Documentation team will want to open the main pages fully for editing. If yes, surely people would be able to add questions.
Even if the doc team open up all pages too editing, if somebody comes and deleted everything the page can be restored to a earlier point.
However IMO a better idea will be a edit has to go thought moderation by the doc (and possibly helper) team before the edit becomes live.

So, I got on FB this morning from my phone, to find this posted by one of my friends.
"Dear lord, in the past year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite musician, Michael Jackson, my favorite salesman, Billie Mays, and my favorite athlete, Chris Henry. I just wanted to let you know my favorite president is Barrack Obama. Thank you and Amen.

It is President's Day, and today a company will give someone a presidential experience. And this doesn't involve deciding big issues. This is a fun one.
"I didn't expect such a big showing, just normally get just one car, got three today," says passenger Blaine Light.
Blaine Light got quite the ride -- the flags and the motorcade.
"I just feel like I'm treated like royalty, I love it I feel like a baller."
Even Secret Service by his side, driving him around town in leather seats with amenities like a full bar and televisions.
"Just looking out the window there's people waving it's really such a great feeling being here."
Almost like he's the president -- courtesy of Uber.
"Uber is an app, we're a technology company that connects riders with drivers with the tap of an app," says Gabe Williams, Uber community manager.
On this President's Day, Uber will surprise someone with a motorcade all their own. Just like Blaine Light, they'll too get to ride in style like American royalty.
"They're going to see that a driver is coming to get them but they won't know that it's the Uber presidential cade is coming to get them until it pulls up in front of them and Secret Service jumps out."
A surprise in style.
This is not the first time Uber has done this. Last year they did this in DC and it was very successful so they decided to bring it to other cities this year.
