Yeah, you know me! Wait whut? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Who's down with OPP? This whole party! And Alex Scoble! - Lo

Do we keep our knowledge of the world as it is right now? - Johnny

Well said, Kelli, although it's possible that climate change might not be an issue were it not for humanity's thing. I'm pretty anti-agriculture, but only because I was so astonished to learn how bad its development was for people. I had the impression that people had continually grown healthier (greater height, longer life) as time has passed. The reality is that human health, height, and lifespan all went down dramatically when we started living in one place, and have slowly returned to where we were before -- except the many people living in poverty, who are still screwed. That's not to mention the vast increase in disease and exploitation of others that go hand-in-hand with high population density. They didn't teach me any of that in school. In the end, there's nothing I can do about it, and that's clearly a good thing. If it were up to me we'd all be writing this on cave walls :P - Lo

I'm not going to even ask for help, because it is quite clear to me that I may never use Pandora on my phone ever again. The 20 hours I have spent over the last 2 weeks not only didn't work, but have driven me to destroy civilization. Don't worry. It's not a big loss. - Lo

I dunno... I'd rather live in a tribal society with you guys than know you just on the internet. - Lo

There was a recent caller to Savage Love who said she rode the rails for several years, and recently settled down. I had no idea there were people active doing that these days, and now I am finding it that much harder to go through the daily motions... *whittles bindle* - Lo

This should be useful for me! - Lo

Neat, compelling little piece (though it needs an editor!) - Lo

Can't wait for a chance to say "This dance floor is SALIENT!" - Lo

In college one of my friends stunned me by naming this as her favorite Hitchcock film. Then I saw it, and had to agree. - Lo

It's my favorite, too. I love the camera work in the scenes after they've figured her out - so claustrophobic. Now I want to watch this! - Jennifer Dittrich

If you get the criterion dvd, make sure to watch the trailers! That's where "their love was a flame in danger's secret shadows!" comes from... I can't stop saying that :P - Lo

HOLY MOLY, THAT WAS A THURSDAY FOR THE BOOKS. - Lo

It's Friday, I'm in love :) - Eivind

It's killing me. I *know* someone has thought of this, named it, and there's probably a movement of people doing it. But no matter how I google, I can't find it. - Lo

Best. Friday. Night. EVER. - Lo

No way, Jose. I am too legit to quit! - Lo

My job is to turn the timer for the lights every 45 minutes. And make sure they don't burn the store down. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it! - Lo

The guy who plays vader has kind of a James Franco thing going on... - Lo

Scratch that. Different guy. - Lo

That guy in the Vader suit totally could've gotten into my pants when I was in high school. I wonder if I should tell him that. - Lo

DOES NOT COMPUTE - Mary Carmen

Asked and answered elsewhere. - walt crawford

This is exactly what it's like to be from Florida. Hiaasen understands. - Lo

Stuff like: "Have a crappy wedding and a dream marriage." - Lo

<3 - Heather

If you hear about a big fire in Madison, don't worry. It's my workplace burning to the ground, but I probably made sure everyone got to safety first. - Lo

Pant less hugging? I need an alert for this! ((hugs)) - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

I can't post a picture, because any time I see it I start uncontrollably eating it. - Lo

patent it! - imabonehead

I need to know which southern states. Are we talking North Carolina only? - Ha3rvey (Free hugs)

Pics or did..NO, WAIT!! - Xabaras (G.O.)

Inconceivable - Steve C, Team Marina

MASSive! - Spidra Webster

I'm making a Skype account right now so we can keep in touch. I never could have guessed things would turn around so drastically. - Lo

Also, thanks as usual for the support and stellar advice, FF. It worked! - Lo

OMAN! You look like a rockstar! - Heather

Yes, it's quite cool (my ears get cold actually), but even better is the feeling of stuff touching my scalp. Standing in the shower is quite nice! - Lo

Now what? I'm just ignoring being ignored, and things are stable and I don't feel so injured. But the natural solution of just drifting apart is not an option, because we work together EVERY SHIFT. I'm trying to change my schedule to get a couple days apart. If anyone has any other thoughts, I'm very interested :-D - Lo

I think your idea of a couple days apart may be a very, very good one. At the very least, you won't have that stress gnawing at you during that time. After that, I'm a bit lost - I think that if she's not willing to talk and work it out, you're somewhat limited in the things that you can do :( - Jennifer Dittrich

Sweet! To be clear, I'm not really looking for a solution... outside perspectives are usually helpful. I frequently ask for them from my husband, but conflict is not his thing. He looks like he wants to run away if I so much as describe this situation :-P My little Gandhi! - Lo

That's a tough one, hopefully time heals all wounds - Steve C, Team Marina

At least you didn't say *I'm* nice. When someone says I'm nice (which is rare) I'm like HAVE YOU MET ME?!?!? - Lo

WHAT. You have dynamite teeth? That is AWESOME! I bet you can chew ANYTHING. - Lo

They're absent from my life now, and while the lack of drama was nice at first, now I am so bored. - Lo

They're idiots/weirdos, but still neurotypical and actually incredible intolerant in their own way. I've actually never felt this much social pressure to fit in (since middle school). If you eat a GMO, you're basically going to hell. Plus I don't drink, so I'm a freak to begin with. - Lo

I'm interested in this, too. I'm verrrrry slowly making my way through "Botany for Gardeners" http://www.amazon.com/gp... - Spidra Webster

Glad to hear it. I wish I were better at making my way through that book. I blame internet addiction. If I could afford another trip, I'd love to bring some books and some art materials and do a lot of the things I don't get done at home due to my living arrangements. Let us know how you like the other stuff you check out! - Spidra Webster

Plus I got to have an injection directly into the back of my eye, a story I can gross people out with for the rest of my life! I tried to get my husband to video it for you guys, but he was too scared to look. I married a pansy! - Lo

Well, I got worried when it stopped responding to light (doesn't that mean I'm in a coma?) but treatment continues and things are slowly getting better. It was probably stupid to wait to see a doctor, but so worth it. - Lo

(This post is useless without pictures, and I've taken many, but that will have to wait until I get a new computer.) - Lo

Mesa Verde, eh? We didn't see it, but I already know I want to come back. There are SO many cool things we had to pass by, next time I'm going to allow a month or something. - Lo

If you love what you do now, why change? - Jenny H.
