Hahaha, niiiiice. Video is referring to Arlington, VA, though.👍
LOL, oh geez 😳 Works for here too I guess :laugh:
In other news, my uncle is recovering well. He started physical therapy today. It'll be about 4 weeks before he gets his prosthesis, but they were able to save the calf muscle and the accessory muscles that work the knee, so it won't be too hard to learn to work the pros.
Yay, some good news 🙂

How's he/she getting there? I have no idea how on earth to bring my bird. This would be simpler if I wasn't going to Seattle to see Mr. Quirks but we might not see each other again till October or November otherwise.


She doesn't tolerate carriers well, so we rigged a rather ginormous metal, perfectly breathable, and roomy cage from some knockoff yaffa blocks.👍:laugh:
 
FEELS like summer? FEELS LIKE SUMMER? At 95-100 degrees here, it feels like Dante's Inferno.

Also known as summer :laugh:

seriously dude? ugh! totally hate you!! haha
(nah just joking. still 😍 you)
but its been raining almost everyday for the past 2 weeks or so in NYC and its like 65 degrees and 95% humidity.. this isnt summer. this is a tropical rainforest minus the trees and in the winter lol
 
I'm not THAT high maintenance. But I really really like the three ring idea. I like the 3 stone rings but it would be so improbable to wear an engagement ring at work. 3 rings is the next best thing. Even with stones, they are flat and wouldn't catch on gloves

i love the 3 stone rings!!! mr. ar knows that hahaha but youre right, its such a long way off..
 
I'd like to christen them in my gown too.


aww thats really sweet...
my mom told me that if i have a child, she would make sure its christened even if she has to steal the baby and do it herself 😱:laugh::laugh:

thats really great!! im happy that he will not have too tough a time.
 
I actually considered it! :laugh: But he's staying in a house with other people and the bird can get loud and obnoxious sometimes.

haha yeah our roommates had a bird for the year i lived there.. sometimes i really wanted to send it flying out of our 29th floor window...🙄

haha, wow. 😀

Yeah, birds can really be a pain. I'm never owning a larger one! They live forever, they're really demanding, and they're so loud. Mine's as big as I'm ever getting, and she's pretty small. If she can see me, she's silent and happy. I think in her ideal world, she would live on my shoulder 24/7.
 
I drove "late", because all my friends drove so I didn't need to.

"Late" was 17 🙂

I actually started driving when I was 17, which is pretty early for NYC. You could go your whole life here without having to learn, pretty much.

Its a piece of cake as long as you are dealing with an automatic transmission.

Dad tried to teach me how to drive standard just for the knowledge... but its a LOT more work. I pretty much kill it everytime I try.

Yeah, sometimes I wish I had started out learning on a manual. Trying to pick up a manual after driving automatic for years will be much more difficult.

seriously dude? ugh! totally hate you!! haha

Blah, Happy Father's Day indeed 😳

A spot of exercise? That sounds British or something 😛

Y'know, I really don't want to start exercising, and I can't figure out if I actually need to or not. I don't need to lose weight. My blood pressure's good and my heart rate is good (last time they were checked, I was asked if I exercise and they were quite surprised that I don't). Body fat is, if anything, too low. I don't exercise, but I walk around a lot, and I'm one of those people who even when they're just sitting or standing around, tends to keep their body fairly active.

Something about exercising just to exercise is weird to me. I'd rather just pick up active hobbies. I love yoga but haven't done it in a while. I have my fire staff and I also just picked up poi. I guess those count?

I plan to play a ton of basketball during med school. It'll probably be more fun than running circles around a track or running in place on a treadmill :laugh:

I could go for a spot of tea right now. 😀

I'll get some crumpets 👍

On the sports angle, some grads here needed a chick for their coed softball team. Looks like I qualify!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

well arent you just freaking lucky? lol out of curiosity do you know the percentage?
we just got a new weight watchers scale that gives you weight, body fat percentage and in pounds, water percentage and bone mass 🙂

pushups and crunches are just quick and easy .. and i also havent taken a dance class in over a month.. haha but i think im going to a take a pole dancing class 😀LOLOL😛 with a few friends on monday.
 
I gained 3 pounds from my cruise :laugh: oh man

Coed softball sounds like fun 👍

I don't know if we have one of those teams here...

Damn, the food must have been amazing. I've heard that most people lose weight when they're traveling.
 
Honestly, it is physically impossible to lose weight on a cruise. The food is so fatty & they feed you like 3-4 times a day!



I just have to do more work at the gym now 🙁 Damn
 
I gained 3 pounds from my cruise :laugh: oh man

3lbs isnt terrible, you can lose that pretty easily no? lol not as bad as the 10 lbs i gained that im struggling to lose but not being not very motivated.. sigh..

haha well it's much easier for me NOT to lose it haha. I can think of some enjoyable ways to not lose weight... but yea I'll lose it soon. I just have to up my cardio time for the next few weeks. No pain, no gain 😉

yeah.. i should do that.. i sometimes do the unhealthy thing and eat a whole lot less.. and then make up for it and net weight change = zero...
 
I found roundtrip tickets to Cancun for 137...better believe imma book em.

👍 I can't stand treadmills. Basketball, however, is fun. I love playing soccer, though I'm not all that good at it. 😀

Crumpets! 😍

.... NYC Tea party? :laugh:

Found out when they were weighing me in for a study. Was a machine pretty much like the weight watcher's scale.

:laugh: That sounds awesome.

When are you going?
 
I thought snakes on a plane was about snakes on a plane? Where are the snakes? Where's the plane? What is with the random plot in the beginning? I want gratuitous action silliness!


Edit: Top! Whoo!

That last part was so cute! Then I realized I am not good with pets 😳

I lived in a very small "city" ( I really think of it as a town) and I am pretty sure the day we turned 16, we were at the DMV :laugh:
