Yesterday I won an "iPod shuffle" in a Rabies Day 5k race. No, I didn't win the race, but the dog I was running with was the first dog to finish, so I got an iPod. Makes sense, right? Well, after I, who am technologically incompetent beyond my years, finally got this thing working, it suddenly made perfect sense to me.
This thing is so small that I don't know why they bothered to include separate earphones. They should have just mounted an earpiece directly on the thing, and then I could stick the whole unit in my ear. But the sound... WOW. I have never owned speakers that sounded that crisp, especially in the bass department.
So for the last couple days, even the most unextraordinary moments have been scenes from an action movie. Walking across the parking lot? Doing the laundry? Typing up a pleonast post? Boring, right? Not when the outrageous, spectacular, and superhuman is imminent... and judging by the music, five ninjas have just surrounded my bedroom.
so I'm curious - are they bad for your ears-hearing wise? It seems logical to me that they could do some damage, but I've never asked an owner. So let me know?
I'm at your folks' house, and happened to be the first one to see this post. I told your mom, "Nathan won an iPod!" She said, "REALLY??? HOW??" Then she said, "What's an iPod?" She then confirmed she knows it plays music, but doesn't really know the difference between an iPod and a victrola.
...when I bit into a hard-boiled egg this morning. It blew up in my face and burned my lip.
I had two eggs left from the ten I boiled on Saturday, so I stuck them in the microwave. Thirty seconds later, they only felt lukewarm, so I put them back in for another thirty. Then I picked one up, salted it, and bit into it.... and that's when the whole thing exploded.
I stabbed the other egg with my spoon, and it too exploded. Guess you have to stick 'em like potatoes before heating so they don't do that!
Ouch! I have truly never heard of cooking an egg in the microwave. Just curious... had you already removed the SHELL when you bit into it? Exploded? Scary thought...
It's times like this I wish there were cameras filming each of us 24/7, on a 15 minute recycling circuit! Microwaves do strange things. I hear that a heated glass of water can "explode" if it doesn't boil, and then is penetrated with a spoon or whatever.
Oh, and he originally boiled, then re-heated in the microwave.
OW! That burn sounds very uncomfortable. Never nuke baby food and feed the baby without test-tasting it yourself. Remember that lesson because you may need some day.
That reminds me (if I really stretch my remembering capabilities) of a night when my family went to their hosue for supper. It was in the middle of peach season and the kitchen was buzzing with fruit flies. So Dad and Scott alternately waved the fire torch blower/lighter thing (technical name forgotten) around and then put peaches in the microwave, took 'em out after the flies went in, and then turned the microwave on...
I have something for you but I need your land address - I think I should send it to the state you are in, not PA so can you email it to me? And yes isn't he (she) a cute little dead mousie? Amazing how many think we are really cruel to be chuckling so much! heehee!
Maybe dealing with snapping turtles all day gives a guy a little perspective, because he has a pretty fine disposition. What's your favorite turtleman quote?
Turtleman: "Uh, might find a bullfrog or two. Fish attack. Plus, uh, maybe a snake."
Guy gettin the story: "Or typhoid?"
Turtleman: "Nah, it'd be a water snake."
Ummmm...wow. I dunno. I can veritably appreciate the simple life...but that right there is a simple man. Call me whatever that makes me.
Oh man that's great! Snaper-licious! Love his smile. Think of all the things his hobby accomplishes: food, entertainment, exercise, enviromental animal control, and he most likely does not seek medical attention when bit so it's all budget friendly too.
Oh. Wow. I think I laughed too loudly most of the way through to hear the quotes stupendously well, but "7 kinds of meat"?!?!? Ha! That was my favorite. I wonder how much he spends on shampoo and soap?
Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches-
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, "Who is the Lord?"
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
hey Nathan - this is one of my favorite Proverbs. :) See you soon? She said Darryl is coming up here (maybe for turkey?) What is your schedule are you traveling? We've (mr b and me) just been to NYS and really enjoyed the Corning Glass museum.
Black beans and vanilla reminds me of what we´ve eaten here: ground, fried plantains stuffed with black beans. The mix between savory and sweet is quite satisfiying
