Yes.
Combustible Boss' Chair? Hmmm... Would be good for the balrog. Though I had in mind something less of a mere combustible nature and more of a *launching* nature. A good start tho.
But I too *am* a boss... maybe my own minions would get me one... Hmmm... gotta think on that.
Wow... a new truck a new wife all in the same day. Did she come standard with the truck or was that an option? :-)
Now that I think on it... I could use a new truck too... guess I should go shopping.
It was something gingery. And a little lime. It was good!
Does sound good. Hmm...I shall ponder upon it.
That's a fine lookin' rig you got there.
Oh... and the truck is nice too. :-)

I'm so happy I'm at the bottom of the totem pole! Yeah, the pay is lousy, but I all but completely avoid paperwork. Yay!
My stomach's been upset the past two mornings, but then whatever it is goes away after an hour or so. Wonder if something's going around?
BTW just before I read this I was debating whether to exercise tonight because I have a migraine. I just took some migraine aspirin, so hopefully it will go away enough that I can still get my workout in--actually sometimes it will go away by itself if I start working out. I really want to get my workout in, as it will be my third this week and I'm supposed to get three in a week (three aerobic that is--this is separate from my martial arts workouts which I consider "fun" rather than work), so if I do it'll be out of the way and I'll be free the rest of the week to focus on my "fun" workouts--yay! I want to work on some more staff and sword stuff tomorrow.
Hmm, but someone's supposed to be having a Kenshin marathon tonight.
I'm waiting for the house to get quiet so I can start.
Strawberries and cream--sounds real rough there :)
BTW this week my aunt was talking about the South Beach diet vs. the Atkins diet; any opinions on that?
It's a full size '04 Chevy with crew cab. Big V-8 and four wheel drive.
I've got an '03 Ford F-150, No bells, No whistles, just a truck.
I think Steve's wife, Crystal is 23 years old but I'm not real good at remembering ages.
For me, Atkins is easier, mostly because I would rather cut my carbs to almost nothing than have their carb-categories... actually what I use is an Atkins variant called "the Protein Power Plan", which I think has a less strict induction phase.
Plus, South Beach Diet doesn't like the 'low-carb' chocolates and ice creams, so I understand.
Folks around here don't bother to ask me what day it is since I retired. I always say - Saturday.
Hmm--the launching car seat in Cannonball Run might be an option then :)
But I too *am* a boss... maybe my own minions would get me one... Hmmm... gotta think on that.
We sell asbestos seat covers for that situation :) Either that or don't accept any gift chairs from your own minions!
Because it's condensed, I'd say South Beach MIGHT not work as quickly for people with a lot to lose. Seems like most of the success stories I've heard about South Beach are for people who only had thirty pounds or so to lose. But they both get you to about the same place in the end.
Jen, feel free to correct my errors! ;-)
I'm having my Kenshin marathon between posts/emails!--see your inbox :) I don't usually work out until 11 pm anyway, so I can watch 'til then, and afterwords! I should be well into Disc 3 by the end of the night.
It allows sugar-free treats...but since it isn't a low-carb diet in the strictest sense of the word...maybe that's why they don't really encourage the low-carb foods? Basically my book says if you're going to treat yourself, have the real thing, but only once in awhile. On the other hand, things like sugar-free fudgesicles are listed as a good snack.
Thanks for the insights! My aunt says the problem she's having trying to follow her diet is she loses weight if she stops eating bread, but then her body starts craving bread. She also has diabetes, so I don't know if that plays a role.
I bet one or the other would help her stop craving bread, after the first few weeks. I have will-power for the first time in I don't know HOW long. Ever?
Came home this evening to find one of these in the grass next to our sidewalk:
(not the actual possum in question, I found this pic on a website about possums)
Anyway, I figured it was a "gift" from one of the neighborhood cats, or perhaps it had fallen off the roof (it's been raining heavily today) so I scooped it into a plastic bag and put it in the garbage.
Now, however, I find out from the website I got the pic from that it may have not been dead, but actually "playing possum"; the one in the pic is, and the one in our yard looked almost the same. Of course, ours was attracting flies, so I dunno...
Anyway, I figure I'll go out to the garbage can in the morning to see if he's still dead, alive and angry, or alive and managed to get out...
