Also, it doesn't help if the person you single out actually IS a seaweed. You still can't call them that.

Funny. seaweed for a filter.

I think, though I have not researched, that it was some outside designer they contracted. Still though. I would not have bought them

They used him before for some kid friendly (IIRC, in the article, they mentioned which ones. Panda head?) shoes without any problems.

If I had a kid I'd totally put him in the panda heads, you know, except for the $110 part.

I could hook you up with some real panda heads for like $100.

I also love the ongoing legal battle between The Oatmeal and seaweed lawyer du jour. It's comical to say the least.

I had to look up The Oatmeal and Indiegogo Respond to Charles Carreon's Lawsuit.

Dang it! I should have found The Oatmeal sooner!!

Fun read, thanks for the link. Interesting foot notes, too.

Interesting. BTW, there is a monument dedicated to Tesla in Niagara Falls, NY. It is huge! And, he was related to one of my former colleagues.

Back to grading my exams. As I said earlier on FB, "Exam time: a love-hate relationship!"

I hope so!! So far, today has been... getting up at 4:30 this morning, got to the drop off place "WAY" early....oh well, got our son off, came home, started cleaning (yuck) and the bird got out of his cage while I was cleaning it (I didn't realize) and one of the dogs killed him.... Great start for the day!!The rest of the week will be better!!

Do you ever have the desire to reach through the monitor and punch another user? Today's wine woot offering is making the emotion shine. All of this talk about the "new" format in the offering thread is really p*#*#* me off.

Maybe I am just off my meds

Please no punching, we have to fill out extra forms.

It's the wrong place but a lot of people only know of the main thread. And I'm ridiculously annoyed enough with new design I don't even check woot daily anymore when I used to check pub every few hours, mostly because it's painfully slow to scroll on my phone now with the new design.

I'm totally with you. Between the griping about the new interface and the griping about the fact that not every deal is 40-50% off - I'm getting sick of all those people! It's not fair to the product!

When did we end up with the overflow from juvie over here? Did they all turn 21 or something?

It's a pity that I have to head over to k.w to see a civil discourse ON TOPIC! Esp. when I don't have kids!!!

Everybody wish me luck- headed out to the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting in a little while to find out the fate of rebuilding my decks...

Much luck and good thoughts to you, dearest mother! I would love to be able to hang out on your deck again, sooner rather than later.

Good luck!

I missed a fedex shipment today, over-21 signature required. I can only assume that's wine. The weird thing is, the only wine I remember ordering was less than a week ago, from woot. Woot says it hasn't shipped yet. All of my wine clubs are either cancelled or on hold because of the move. So, either woot hasn't updated their shipping info or I ordered wine from somewhere and then forgot. I'm kind of hoping it's option 2 and I'm in for a nice surprise.

This. You posted some great information and I'm sorry if you feel like it's getting lost in the shuffle.

We appreciate those who are fighting the good fight to stay on topic, believe me.

I'd love some surprise wine! That would really make my day.

I'm not severely miffed about my info getting lost in the shuffle. (Wee bit, but not severe.) That sort of thing happens to me often. But if I were the winery, I'd be seriously p.o.'ed.

I just got my Ruelala order today and it PERFECT shape.

Orrrr.... you might be a rat!

I don't think we have rats anymore? Anyhoo, I checked fedex and the purchase order number includes astralesyrah, which is the wine I ordered. Which has not shipped yet according to woot. lol

I hopped over to sh.w to chek out the science specials. They have the Chucknorium image, but only in hoodies and tees. Wish I could get that in an apron or tote!

I am looking for an plasticized apron. A gazillion years ago, a friend of mine bought me one while he was in England. I bought one, maybe two, in 2000 when we were there. The one that I am currently using has frayed apron strings. They last forever and are soooo easy to wipe off--another idea for sh.w.--just expanding your idea cj.

Now to get back to grades--due tomorrow at 10 am.
