Padded walls are a definite perk...
Good morning! I'm finally awake, now that it's almost lunchtime!
Heh, I haven't even left yet. I decided to drop one class - what a relief! Now my schedule will be much easier.
Which class are you dropping?
Parallel Programming. It was boring, and too different. My other classes, I have friends to study with and bounce ideas off.
Hey, if I only need 9 credits why was I trying for 13 anyway... so no regrets.
Steve's class this semester is killing him. That's why he's spending so much time in a study group. But he has to get through it. I told him "Hire a tutor if you have to, we'll make do!"
Being warm is highly overrated. LOL I'm just kidding.
Heh...I know you're just kidding...but with oil prices being what they are, I'm not sure how I'm gonna make do this winter.
I'm thinkin' I invest in a coupla HEAVY used wool sweaters and keep the thermostat at about 55. I could!
Makes you realize how good we have it these days, seriesly. I mean...I doubt people had indoor temperatures even that warm in the old days, except right in front of the stove. Bedrooms would have been freeeezing!
Yes, or in front of the fireplace.
Morning, everyone, just touching base.
We were in President Monroe's 18th century house, "Ash Lawn," in VA a couple years ago. In winter they closed up most of the house and lived in just a couple rooms with fires in fireplaces that were kept burning 24/7.
But imagine the unheated outhouses!
*shudder*
There are some modern conveniences I'm VERY grateful for!
Yeah, I'm glad I've got my girlfriends to work with. Stress makes you bond! And we know how to have fun, too..
Get some long johns as a good first layer!
Heh...we used to use those growin' up. The thermal kind, with the bumpy fabric with little square dents in it...if that makes sense. They do work!
Looks like Mount St. Helens is really erupting!
You do, of course, realize what today is?
How far are our WA HH'ers from the volcano?
Yup... it's "that day"... the last FMA should come out...
Oh, spoiler, but a happy one: this episode is named "Rebirth", so it looks good for you-know-who.
I saw the raw version was out, but I restrained myself to wait for an episode I could actually understand.
Yeah... I saw a speedsub but wasn't willing to risk bad translation. Not for the final episode. Surely by the time I get home SS or Fork will have it done.
Nice post number...
OK, guess it was just another steam eruption...or so some are saying. Still...cool!
Glad there aren't volcanos around here!
Last time, we were in Portland. Which I've said far too many times. Sorry!
But I DO remember the ash, though not much else!
