Dual coil madness!!!

And now... The places I've lived (your boredom detector should be going off... This is not an interesting list.) :

Born in Berea. Family moved to Akron shortly there after. When I was 6, we moved to Parma. At 9 we moved back to Berea, where I stayed for 9 years (in four different houses). At 18 I moved out. To Lakewood. 21 I moved to Grafton. 23 to Columbia Station. 25 to Strongsville. Got married at 26 and moved back to Parma. Stayed there until 34, and finally moved back to Berea. Again. Where I am now, and expect to stay for some time.

All of this is in Ohio, by the way.

#3 I missed a topic, this should be quick...

AHS is not bad, better than a lot of stuff. I put it on the PC's DVR and watch it when I'm out of other stuff. I DVR everything and watch it later, I can't stand commercials.

True Detectives has good actors and like many HBO and Showtime series, it will probably be nominated for many awards and receive a few. It's not my favorite subject matter, but I like good acting and writing. Anything beats a reality show, stuff like True Detectives may be based in our world but I think you know what I mean.

The Bachelor. Real Wives of ___. Anything with Idol or Dance in the name. Meh.

2: What I do not like about grammar police going after people, is that I do not ever recall one time people stating "I am perfect at spelling and grammar and all the language arts" So why do the grammar police go after people who never made such a claim?

When someone goes after the grammar or spelling in what someone has written, they are often trying to change the subject OR to turn attention away from themselves. Personally, I think that these self-appointed know-it-alls come across looking like snotty, elitist jerks. I really think that context is what really matters. On an internet forum, to act as if every post should have perfect grammar, spelling, and punctuation is absurd (unless, perhaps, it's a forum dedicated to grammar, spelling, and punctuation. . . just saying!).

Anyway, like I said, correcting people (other than my own students) isn't my style.

Edited to add: I just realized this is my last post for the week. Good luck everyone!

#5 You are in my prayers also Sky. This might be a dumb question but why do you call it "hybrid" ?

Thanks for the compliments on my tank. I also decided to find a way to make use of a tank I got awhile back that is also quite pretty with a frosted design, but it was so dark that I could never see the juice level. It kept bugging me so I got the Squid RDA (very tiny thing) It fits inside the dark tank perfectly. So I have now turned that tank into a RDA. Mission accomplished! :)

3-Just not as thick as a stew, and thicker than a soup, just right I suppose.

I have a couple of squids that I sub ohm, so yummy and quick easy builds too.

4- Found a bird in my garage when I came home from the store, poor little thing was all cold and had spider webs wrapped around it's beak. Have it in a cage with a reptile heater under it and a soft fuzzy towel. So far it is just sleeping....
I give it about a 5% chance of making it to the morning but at least it will pass away more comfortable if at least a little.

Oh you sweet thing. The same thing happened here not too long ago. A Pigeon ( which I really do not like) was in my backyard and it looked like it had been shot. It was storming outside, so I wrapped it up and brought it inside and put the poor thing in a box with a soft fuzzy blankie. I knew it was going to die but I saw no reason for it to die wet and cold and miserable. Seems like injured animals always get into my yard and I rescue them ( or at least try )

Here is another thing I did once that I still get teased about. I hate wasps, I am allergic to the darn things. So, off to the store I go and get one of those wasp traps. One gets in there and of course it can't get out. I am watching it a day or so later and it is moving slower and slower. I think it was suffocating. I looked at my daughter saying. " I can't stand it" And I opened the trap and let it out :) I even fish little crickets and whatever other bugs out of my pool with the net. I'm such a puss when it comes to critters and creepy crawlies.

Oh well, folks can tease all they want. I'm a mother hen I guess.

01/24 Entry #3 . . .


Really like to see all the places people have lived and kinda funny to see that some of "Us" have lived in/near the same places too . . . Almost neighbors in fact . . . :thumbs:


I've got to get some serious work done this evening. I was supposed to spend the day getting my students emails entered into my computer and sending readings to all my students for next week.

Okay "You" - As an Educated Professor, "You" always gotta make things difficult don't Ya' - even for "Yourself" . . . Did you ever think of having your students - ALL Send "You" an Email - So "You" didn't have to type each and everyone of their emails into your computer . . . Just Sayin' . . . {img]http://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/stupid-duh-2.gif[/IMG]

OH - And so glad "You" do not take "grammar and spelling" online seriously or have a NEED to correct people either . . . However, "You" probably would have had a field day with any of the papers I turned in when I was in college (as most of "My" professors always did - no matter what I did or even if I had someone else go over them to correct the grammar & spelling before I handed them in :nah: ) . . . Thankfully most of them had to take in consideration that I had a "Learning Disability" (a form of dyslexia) so they had to look closer at the content of the papers, not the grammar & spelling mistakes . . . The strangest thing was that I could correct other student papers for grammar & spelling, just not "My" own as well without taking the sentences apart and having/using a dictionary all the time (usually taking the double time I was allowed, especially during test/essay's in class ) . . .

1- Wow so busy, and I was supposed to work on Sunday, talked my boss into letting me have 3 weeks of leave, only have to take 12 days for that though. And if all goes as planned, I will be in the Warrior Transition Unit and the Wounded Warrior Program and not have to deal with my little pit in the Pentagon except to get my uniform that is in the closet there.

REALLY - Hope that all goes "Your" way and soon . . . GOOD VIBES . . . being sent that all goes well . . . :thumbs:

NICE of "You" to do . . . :thumbs:


@ "jpf" - How did "Wifey's" Ultra sound go ? ? ? GOOD - I hope . . . :)

Bump for Uncle,
Heck our pets are gaining in numbers, Got 2 cats, a 29 tall fish tank, snake, 2 rats-never again, and our Ferret.
Trying to get a service dog as well, looking promising would have to get a bigger car, this one gets paid off next month >.<, but for me to have a service dog that would be more than well worth it.
