Now we're getting somewhere.

How much are you offering to hear what I have to say?

Petrie

Fred, for walking and every day stuff, I've had a lot of luck with Avia brand shoes. I think they're very comfy. For running, I prefer Saucony because they're super lightweight. I've stayed away from Nike because they were never 100% comfortable, even after breaking them in. I might have a pair of A...

Petrie

Bob, What is with today? Maybe I'm more tired than I thought or maybe it's some sort of PMS based sensitivity but today has been one sad-causing thing said to me after another. I went into my mom's room, when I was already a little sad, and I cuddled with her a bit while she talked to my grandma and...

Petrie

Congrats on the weight loss so far. :) As for whether I count that as a positive for me is a whole other story. For one, I've always had body issues but I'm just starting to get to a place where I think I look fine and to have this doctor who measured my body fat % tell me, using a scale BF measurem...

Petrie

I'm in. :)

Petrie

Like the dog in that canned bean commercial, it's a family recipe, and I'm not at liberty to say.

Petrie

High five, Shannon! We're the same! Or something.

I didn't want to say this, so thanks for making me look like a jerk, but...I actually can't tell you two apart.

Petrie

I've been reading quite a bit about the downsides of sitting down for lengths of time, so while at work, I have been standing for my stints on the Circ desk. I've also been standing when scanning and organizing library card applications (and it takes a whopping 4 minutes to scan each application...w...

Petrie

But you're "special" every day...

This won't make any sense but you'll still get it, because: it takes one to know one.

B) Create a new username
But then what happens when you reach 3,999 usernames...

Profit.

Petrie

Pweb? Yes, Pweb. I realize this may be a bad decision on my part but what the hey. Ali (the Original Spammer), Steph, and Nomi for posting. A lot. Either because they had stuff to say or because they wanted to keep things moving. And Nomi specifically for getting in touch with Steve and, by accident...

Petrie

Does it make me unAmerican if I don't drink tea or coffee?

Exception being Chai when it is cold out but that's not healthy tea the way I drink it.

Petrie

Would this be the blogspot one I wouldn't even know you have if I hadn't spent all day wednesday looking at profile links? :P and Yeah, I don't know about that blog either. Hrmph. Yes, Josh, that would be the one. chicagoisso[x]yearsago. I posted something about it in Bob in late 2009 or early 2010...

Petrie

From Ami, on Nomi's FB page: Oh. Oh my. That's fantastic! I was contacted a while ago to give control of philotic web, but things were quite crazy at the time. I'd love to give it to someone who'd like to take care of it. Meanwhile, it would be cool to make a facebook group. The fantastic something ...

Petrie

How accurate are the methods currently used to determine body fat percentage? More specifically, since I know there are a number of ways to measure, I had mine measured using something very similar to this: http://www.chinatraderonline.com/Files/Digital-Scale/BODY-FAT-SCALE-21241123878.jpg and calip...

Petrie

*hugs for Nomi* I've been less than my best in treating my mental health issues, for one reason or another, but it hasn't been ruled out that my depression was situational and it was suggested by two different therapists that I consider medication (though, the second thought I am bipolar; I have yet...

*hugs Teresa*

Okay, here's my dad's slightly older but considerably happier, more big kid tree: Trunk close-up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/DariaMSSW/Personal/th_SNV37591.jpg Entire tree: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/DariaMSSW/Personal/th_SNV37593.jpg Unhelpful but nifty look at canopy from d...

Petrie

I gathered up the pictures and posted them. Question for you. Is this tree a cutting/shoot from your dad's actual tree? Like, is it absolutely the SAME exact tree as your dad's? Or does it look just like his but not necessarily from the same exact plant? It's not the same EXACT tree; it looks like ...

Petrie

How are things coming along in your Chicago-related plans? Well? How are they coming? Not too shabby, thanks. (I should have posted with just that and then laughed all the way to the next thread.) There's not much going on that's exciting, mostly just pre-plans and watching my savings grow. By the ...

Petrie

A boombox.
Will one of you stand with the boombox Lloyd Dobbler style?

Only if that same person has a trench coat. No trench, no scene. End of story.

Authenticity*, people!

*Where applicable; don't look to me to sing Little Mermaid in the Pacific.

Petrie

Welcome to the club, Steph! I want to save 4,000 for a special occasion. What's going to happen is I'm going to sign in out of habit and waste it to say something silly but I'd like to try to find something good for that one, seeing as hitting 4K is something I never got around to doing on Pweb 2.0....

Petrie

My family likewise had money issues (from having too little of it, not from misspending), so I grew up very aware of money. Actually, amongst all the kids, my two oldest brothers now currently have an issue with thinking money grows on trees and my little brother and I are the exact opposite, though...

Petrie

The amount of puns in that article is egg-cruciating

How dairy-ou say something like this. Puns are eggcellent.

Petrie

I drink a lot.

I heard this was a leading cause of problems with having things go up.

...like post counts.

Petrie

At a whopping 35 posts on this username, you should not only remember what threads they are in, you should also remember, verbatim, what you posted.

Petrie

I read it all! Can you post or link a few other tree pics? One of it full grown, one of it dead, a close up of one whole leaf? I want to enlist some expert help to identify this sucker once and for all! :mrgreen: I can use my dad's tree to get a full grown picture, otherwise I'll have to look for t...

Petrie

So am I, Ali, but for many reasons - the intellect, the "humour," the ability to randomly add "u"s into words, the celebrity friends, that pretty face, those agile fingers...his milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

I accepted this eons ago.

Petrie

I'm worried about Babe... she ate like a pig (no pun intended, ha!)

Is it okay if I laughed, anyway?

*hugs for Nomi and strokes for Babe* Hopefully she pulls out of this.

Petrie

We can make my dreams come true. Disney's Little Mermaid. Sing-Along Edition. With special Part of Your World solo going to you, Will.

Petrie

Dear People I Will Be Visiting Later This Year (Even the Females), My mom's boyfriend told me just now that he had a dream I came back from my next trip pregnant. He then called all my trips "whoring trips" (as a joke that made more sense in context). Please don't get me pregnant. If I hav...

Petrie

Polite little beggars, they look! The big one is really good about behaving for food (and in general, she's a good girl) but the little one typically climbs onto me and sticks his face right above the plate. Sometimes he mimics the big one and behaves, like in that picture, but typically, not so mu...

Petrie

Now I feel like a goob; I was thinking I might get asked this stuff in PM or IM or by people around here, not on the board. But this is sweet of you, Teresa. Sorry for everyone else but you can not read past this if you're not interested. I'm not sure how much you know about my history with this tre...

Petrie

... homey don't play that... Just wanted to point out that childhood memories flooded into my head when i read this <3 Yay! I didn't think anyone got the reference and concluded ILC must have been a brown people thing. I loved watching ILC as a kid with my brother... My mom even made us "home&...

Petrie

Boxers, Jeebs? I would have thought you'd opt for just socks and the hat, instead. Well, and the tie. Socks, tie, hat. Done deal, make it happen. Also, Josh, thank you for helping Will delete the spambots. I don't know if anyone else has noticed how much the member count has dropped but between the ...

I went to NKOTBSB tonight.

Too cool.
