  3. But, I want a clone... Or some nice minions... I'm ok with people copying me. I'll make it amusing... lol
  4. *sigh* That's the only reason I resent not finishing college... I have a mind for math and science. I was one of those types that shocked teachers.
  5. SK you get a +5 for that pic. Nice. I love Next Gen.
  6. I use a fun technique for getting rid of headaches. If you get good at it, you'll start automatically doing it... Concentrate the headache into a small spot on your forehead. Stop thinking. Repeat as needed.

  10. I'd go to the dinner if I could find a date... I'll try to get the night off so I can see Jill Tracy though.
  11. The link Lost world of fanged frogs and giant rats discovered in Papua New GuineaIn pictures: Lost land of the volcano Robert Booth The Guardian, Monday 7 September 2009 The Bosavi woolly rat had no fear of humans when it was discovered. Photograph: Jonny Keeling/BBC A lost world populated by fanged frogs, grunting fish and tiny bear-like creatures has been discovered in a remote volcanic crater on the Pacific island of Papua New Guinea. 'A giant woolly rat never before seen by science' A team of scientists from Britain, the United States and Papua New Guinea found more than 40 previously unidentified species when they climbed into the kilometre-deep crater of Mount Bosavi and explored a pristine jungle habitat teeming with life that has evolved in isolation since the volcano last erupted 200,000 years ago. In a remarkably rich haul from just five weeks of exploration, the biologists discovered 16 frogs which have never before been recorded by science, at least three new fish, a new bat and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world. The discoveries are being seen as fresh evidence of the richness of the world's rainforests and the explorers hope their finds will add weight to calls for international action to prevent the demise of similar ecosystems. They said Papua New Guinea's rainforest is currently being destroyed at the rate of 3.5% a year. "It was mind-blowing to be there and it is clearly time we pulled our finger out and decided these habitats are worth us saving," said Dr George McGavin who headed the expedition. The team of biologists included experts from Oxford University, the London Zoo and the Smithsonian Institution and are believed to be the first scientists to enter the mountainous Bosavi crater. They were joined by members of the BBC Natural History Unit which filmed the expedition for a three-part documentary which starts tomorrow night. They found the three-kilometre wide crater populated by spectacular birds of paradise and in the absence of big cats and monkeys, which are found in the remote jungles of the Amazon and Sumatra, the main predators are giant monitor lizards while kangaroos have evolved to live in trees. New species include a camouflaged gecko, a fanged frog and a fish called the Henamo grunter, named because it makes grunting noises from its swim bladder. "These discoveries are really significant," said Steve Backshall, a climber and naturalist who became so friendly with the never-before seen Bosavi silky cuscus, a marsupial that lives up trees and feeds on fruits and leaves, that it sat on his shoulder. "The world is getting an awful lot smaller and it is getting very hard to find places that are so far off the beaten track."
  12. I've been in some really bad relationships... I learned from a guy who put me through tons of mental abuse, and thank God I don't think he's even in the state anymore. But, I gotta say... I don't think there was any learning going on with the last one. I do however think that all the horrible things that happen prepare me to deal with all the other horrifying crap life sends my way. That's why I let most of the stuff from the past just be past, but I dunno... I feel stuck. Something didn't get accomplished and I doubt it was from my end. So, now I feel like I'm in this awkward state of stasis. Dunno how much sense that makes to anyone but me.
  13. Not too bad... Just waiting for the chef to bring me lunch at 7. Nice boring day.
  14. You guys need to work on the word "wingman." Try to make it fun to come up with outfits that should help you both attract people, without looking like the wonder-twins.
  15. With my unpredictable co-worker randomly calling off... I dunno if I can make it, but I'd like to... I keep missing things.
  16. Dang coworkers call more than the guests today... Can't they see I have a book? LOL
  17. *Wanders over with two full pots of coffee* So, yeah I don't drink this... Anyone want some?
  18. I wish I could tell you, but it had to do with DGN, so I can't.... But, now you can think of millions of things it could be. Have fun!
  19. They might can our part-time chick, but she only gets about 8-16 hours a week on average.
