  2. Lightning bugs and thunderclouds. about 18 hours ago via HootSuite from Alexandria, VA  
  3. Daylilies are blooming! Also a blog post to make me feel better about how scruffy the yard looks. It *has* improved: ow.ly/bdPfP 10:11 AM May 29th via HootSuite
  4. Current mental soundtrack: Hello, I love you; I'm a believer; Carry on my wayward son; Help! 4:43 PM May 28th via HootSuite from Alexandria, VA  
  5. Flipside is that even having determined that the house AC works pretty efficiently, I can't justify using it 24/7. I'll just sit in the car. 1:59 PM May 28th via HootSuite
  6. Justifying my car's retrofitted AC: If I wanted to turn up everywhere sweaty and windblown, I'd ride a motorcycle. #arguablecoolness 1:35 PM May 26th via HootSuite from Alexandria, VA

  9. Does anyone I know have experience choosing/setting up a shopping cart on a personal website? (eg not something pre-loaded like etsy). 1:24 PM May 25th via HootSuite from Falls Church, VA  
  10. Boy does @googlechrome take up a lot of space/processes in my CPU. Less memory than @photoshop, at least. Poor, toasty little computer core. 10:47 PM May 24th via HootSuite from Falls Church, VA  
  11. Halp. 713 photos to catalog and process from last month: garden, DC excursions, Farm Day, more garden, 360 miles of bike trail... 3:45 PM May 23rd via HootSuite from Alexandria, VA  
  12. @aelphabawest Sleeveless generally ok if it's wide shouldered or cap sleeves, non-knit materials. Depends on the tattoo & the office. 1:49 PM May 23rd via HootSuite in reply to aelphabawest
  13. Still v. glad @uptontea was recommended to me two years ago. Going to order again soon, anyone want anything? 5:58 PM May 22nd via HootSuite from Alexandria, VA  
  14. @oldbot It's a swear word from Firefly. "Blasted internet" would work, too, though it's really the wireless, I guess. I give up. 3:59 PM May 22nd via HootSuite in reply to oldbot

  17. Still loving #wearehunted (wah.fm/ufhj7s Life by Summer Camp is ++) 1:27 PM May 22nd via We Are Hunted
  18. @jackconstantine Right, but I now need to research proper harvesting methods, pruning, dead-heading (not the Grateful kind)... 9:52 AM May 22nd via web in reply to jackconstantine
