Just returned home from the Merry Main Street Festival in Safford, AZ. More exciting is the fact that I just discovered Mork and Mindy Marathon on Sci Fi!

Sorry for the delay TEB.

Just checked through my desk drawer and couldn’t find the codes for a 1.5m transfer. :(
The best I could do is the codes for $2.29, $4, and $12.50 (U.S.). Oh, and of course the LAUNCH codes which are given out to every American.
Just in case.

OK, now to edit.

Yes Van, we also need tyou to speak for everyone in Belgium.

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 23:01:34 +0000

Oh, come on Van. You can speak for all to me. :)

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:59:29 +0000

Of course I can’t speak for everybody in the UK.

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:58:27 +0000

Ah, thanks.

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:57:14 +0000

Well it’s related to harvest festivals..which are mostly irrelevant for people who live in urban areas.

So the answer would be a no. In terms of families getting together for a big meal, it’s really only the Christmas holiday.

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:51:53 +0000

Here’s a silly question. I know why US and Canada celebrate Thanksgiving. Since England is more of an original, not a colony, do you have a similar holiday?

By: Vanamonde

Maybe things will come alive once they pop the alka seltzer.

If you’re alone in a cold climate, will you become ice-olated?

Well, Van. It looks like it’s mostly you and I on the board today. People must be too overcome with turkey.

There’s this green tea they have at the downtown office. I love it simply because it says on the package “prevents free radicals”

I always find that statement amusing.

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:30:58 +0000

I haven’t read the full article yet, but it appears that ‘heavy’ water is better at eliminating free radicals in the body, FRs have been implicated in the aging process.

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:24:45 +0000

Are there more calories in heavy water? (kidding :) )

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:18:48 +0000

So it appears if you want to live longer, you need to eat food that contains a higher amount of ‘heavy’ water.

There, cookies are done and fudge is setting. Now I have to do some work :(

Well that’s a relief, I can stop hitting the refresh button on my browser every 5 minutes.

Glad to see that everyone’s T-Day went well. I’d always thought Black Friday had been named by retail employees, because of the horrors faced on this day (I worked many Black Fridays at Sam Goody in the mid-90s). There was never any blood, although I recall a few occasions when there should have been.

I’m going to continue to do some things around here and laze for a bit – but I expect we’ll see 112 in a few hours.

First batch of cookies are in the oven and the dishes are done. Will start on the fudge after both batches of cookies are done.

You’re not supposed to count calories during the holiday’s Ed. It’s supposed to be one of the many things you are on holiday from.

Well, I’m glad to see that all have apparently survived Thanksgiving. We had a good one with my family. The wife and I did go out this morning for the running of the bulls. There was nothing out there this year that I felt was really worth camping out for and things were pretty orderly at the places we went. I think at this point its more of a bonding experience for us than it is about scoring some mega deal.

Though, I think I can hear my scale cringing in anticipation of my return home tomorrow. It will not be a happy meeting.

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:28:52 +0000

I’m sorry to hear that, Van. I don’t do scary movies as a rule. I go once a year with my daughter, but that’s it. Then she usually laughs at me because I jump at everything.

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:25:05 +0000

Quaratine was ok, predictable and not scary at all.

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:14:56 +0000

Halooooo! Where is everybody?

Bathroom cleaned. Lunch eaten. Now to make cookies.

J0e, I don’t know. Can you give me the codes and authorization to to a $1.5m wire transfer?

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:57:19 +0000

Just got back from the grocery store.

Van, guess what. I bought oranges!

Happy post Turkey day! I’m posting from my folk’s computer in central Kansas. Damn it’s cold here. LOL Ditto is as super cool as I expected. We had a really nice chat. Hopefully there will be more in the future. :) Also, thanks for the latte ditto.

TEB – sorry about the mismatched holidays. What do you need? Will any American do? ;}

Maybe if I just “cough” it would have the same effect. :)

Will that have the reverse of the apples?

Just remember to switch to pears TEB.

Woah, Van. 92% match on the movie thing. Great minds and all that.

Well I’m off to see Quarantine. Not so keen on horror but the good reviews have tempted me….yeah yeah I know it’s been out in the US for ages but some moves take a while to cross the pond.

I now have a headache for you just thinking of doing 6000 in one day.

Darn Americans and their holidays that don’t match ours! Work is not “working” as I need some info from a US branch.

Hello, Pan! My mad end-of-NaNoWriMo rush started yesterday. Wrote 6,000 words in a day yesterday for the very first time, going for 10,000+ words today. Off to write.

Van, I have the feeling Master Park has said or done something (maybe asked him to come on different days?). While he used to attend every class I did (Monday, Thursday and Saturdays), he has not been in any of these classes since I’ve been back from World Fantasy. I know he’s been attending other days as some of the other students have mentioned him. I know it seems vain to think his schedule has changed because of me, but it still seems a little strange from always being with me to never being with me without some sort of intervention.

By: Vanamonde

Vanamonde — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:31:53 +0000

So has the black belt guy backed off from you TEB?
