  1. @bradykelly Actually thinking that might be a wall I hit at some point. Trying KISS in the meantime. Using Freemind/PC Mindjet/Android
  2. "Best if used by 06/05/12" It's important to know in what country that was printed.
  3. @johnsheehan IIRC, that's something that's been in place since 9/11
  4. @philpursglove Well, apparently, ummm... you know... ;-)
  5. @aalear @sarah11918 I'm guessing it's not for vacations. :(
  6. I have discovered mind-mapping as a way to break down to-do items, without having an incomprehensibly large to-do list that drains the soul.
  7. There is a certain distance from me, inside of which you are asking to fight or make love. Or, we're standing in line or on the subway.
  8. The frozen, pre-formed beef patties are right next to the frozen waffles. There is so much hidden danger in this home.
  9. @BeverlyBambury freaky!
  10. @jamiedixon two people. And I was one of them. :0
  11. The commercials featuring full conversations with Siri seem a little creepy, to me.
  12. I have seldom seen a #StackOverflow answer so full of nonsense. stackoverflow.com/a/10551391/237…
  13. @AdamMachanic You tell that turd who's boss!
  14. I've apparently been keeping @lizardbill busy by flagging spam on #StackOverflow today. I think I'll take a break and go outside! Thx Bill!
  15. @julielerman Oh, good idea; been thinking along the same lines myself, and that thought never occurred to me!
  16. @TheCodeJunkie @jonskeet C#'s tea brewing capabilities are sorely lacking,
  17. @SBRobertLinthon That's pretty much what I've always suspected, especially given the very broad, vague claims they make about what they do.
  18. I must express some confusion as to the topic of your most recent statement, Willis.
  19. We have a portable electronic scanner, gumption, and another portable electronic scanner. - Phineas
  20. Tomorrow's the day for five jars of mayo. I wonder if it's OK if I use Miracle Whip, instead. Happy Birthday, Mexico!
