9:00 am
peternl

9:00 am
raerae7133

I'm not stuck, but it's going slowly
9:01 am
peternl

I hate to ask what box line reduction is, I guess I should go look it up (I never know the names of techniques)
9:02 am
Danno

9:04 am
Rachel

and the funny thing is he got stuck, so like 6 of us were showing HIM what to do
9:04 am
raerae7133

Don't even get me started on scanning. I nearly lost it the last time I tried to scan something
9:05 am
Rachel

I know! Putting s omething down and pressing a button is SO hard
9:05 am
Rachel

no wonder colleges dedicate a whole two hour class to the process
9:05 am
raerae7133

Tell me about it
9:05 am
morgan

had to start over more than three times and at the end it was so easy. (where on earth was my brain all day long?)
9:06 am
Rachel

but anyway, good morning :)
9:06 am
raerae7133

Good morning
9:06 am
raerae7133

I filed homestead this morning
9:07 am
Rachel

what does that mean?
9:08 am
raerae7133

It means the county knows who's actually living at the house, so they can tax them accordingly
9:10 am
Rachel

ok
9:11 am
Rachel

not too bad for a "Hard"
12:34 pm
macuser

this one was easy!
12:35 pm
btwrt

alright, here i go ...
12:50 pm
Twinkie

macuser, i like your kitty. is it yours? (i have a russian blue mix too)
12:54 pm
btwrt

lol i have a friend with a russian blue kitty and he swears the cat looks blue, and i swear it looks gray
12:54 pm
btwrt

everytime i see him he says, 'have you seen my blue kitty?' and i say, 'i've seen your GRAY cat'
12:54 pm
Twinkie

mine looks gray to me! her name is joy-joy, and she is a doll. she is also polydactl so she has an extra toe on each paw
12:55 pm
btwrt

wow! that's crazy - about the extra toe :)
12:56 pm
Twinkie

her front paws look like catcher's mitts.
12:56 pm
btwrt

lol it would remind me of the six fingered man from princess bride
12:56 pm
Twinkie

i have to keep those two thumb toes trimmed, otherwise she gets herself caught on things (blankets, carpet, futon cover...)
12:57 pm
btwrt

how unusual is it, a polydact cat?
12:57 pm
Twinkie

joy-joy is less evil than the 6-fingered man ;-)
12:57 pm
btwrt

hence the name :)
12:57 pm
Twinkie

not too unusual. hemingway had a ton, and if you go to his house on key west (which is overrun w/ cats), about half of them are polydactl.
12:58 pm
Twinkie

by the way, you may have all heard this via email forwards, but today at 2 minutes and three seconds past 1, it will be 01:02:03 04-05-06. Pretty cool, eh?
1:00 pm
btwrt

oh i hadn't heard that :) that IS cool
1:04 pm
btwrt

hmm i've never been to key west, i didn't realize that's where his house was.
1:04 pm
Twinkie

one of his many houses
1:05 pm
Twinkie

it was cool, we went last march as part of a cruise. then a fwe months later we were watching one of the many bond runs on spike or amc or whatever channel and realized that they filmed part of "license to kill" at the hemingway house and on key west. it was cool to see it!
1:06 pm
btwrt

oh that's awesome :) i am going to st. petersburg and orlando this weekend, but i will still be far from the keys
1:06 pm
Twinkie

enjoy florida! hitting disney?
1:07 pm
Twinkie

just finished the puzzle--i agree that it didn't seem that hard. at least not as hard as some of the earlier "hard" ones were
1:08 pm
btwrt

yeah, i've been slacking but it doesn't seem that bad ... i actually live in florida, but up in the pahandle area so its still a 6 hour drive or so to orlando. and it's great because florida residents get discounts ;)
1:08 pm
Twinkie

kewl! i am originally from southern cal, so i remember enjoying the disneyland discounts. i can remember going to disneyland for $20 once (!)
1:09 pm
btwrt

wow, that's pretty cheap ... i'm actually not going to disney, but to seaworld
1:10 pm
Twinkie

sound lke fun! i lk the rollercoaster, i forget what it's caled (sorry re: typos, sticky keyboard)
1:10 pm
btwrt

i didn't even notice typos, lol. i have wanted to go to seaworld for some time - my husband and i are taking my 18 month old, so i don't know if he'll be old enough to enjoy it, but i'm sure i will
1:11 pm
Twinkie

well, back to work. enjoy the time in orlando! you guys can swap the baby back and forth on the rides--you get in line together, then one of you rides and then you swap the baby and the other one rides. they'll let you do that. have fun! :)
1:11 pm
btwrt

as a florida resident actually you pay the same, but instead of a day pass we get a year pass
1:12 pm
btwrt

thx :) c-ya
1:12 pm
Twinkie

bye!
1:12 pm
Sulihin

i haven't been to sea world or universal yet and i've lived here for a year and a half now!

1:14 pm

i remember going to disney when i was little and the only thing i remember is being upset that we couldn't go up into cinderella's castle

10:47 pm
