Re: 260 Days, No Repeats: DIY: Coffee

LolaGeek — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 08:51:42 -0000

I'm not a coffee addict, but we are big time tea drinkers, and I've developed some similar habits to support that addiction :) If you're looking for a bottle for your tea, I have a David's Tea steeper thermos that almost keeps drinks TOO hot!

Love it! You look very cool :o) Good for you!

Re: I'm clothed much.: Why I haven't been wearing clothes lately

Kitty!! Congratulations on the new addition! And good for you for adopting an "older" cat (they often get overlooked in favor of kittens). I'll be on the lookout for cat fur all over your clothes now >^..^<

Re: Water water everywhere...: Enjoy Salad Dressing Without All the Fat and Calories

LolaGeek — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 11:10:10 -0000

Buttermilk Ranch, nummers... Probably the least-healthy possible salad dressing though! Also, I've recently started using balsamic vinegar, EVOO, and honey when I make salads at home - that's probably a healthier choice :o)

Re: Water water everywhere...: Fashion Friday Myth: Jeggings Are Only For Skinny Girls

LolaGeek — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 13:27:03 -0000

Yes! I was a jeggings skeptic too but got a cheap pair at Target a few months ago and they are my new favorite pants! They're denim and have pockets and a button, but they're as comfortable as wearing yoga pants. I almost feel like I'm cheating :o)

Re: Water water everywhere...: X-rays Are Cool, Full Body Scans and Airports are Not

Well if someone were really a terrorist, I wouldn't put it past them to hide their stuff on a kid or old person or in a wheelchair or anything else. It's the last place security would think to look, right?

Hey, nice foot!

Yeah, I am not really down with full body x-rays for the reasons you mentioned (I don't want to be exposed to that radiation or have naked x-ray pictures of myself floating around out there). But I don't think profiling based on appearance is really the way to go either. I mean, here is the Christmas day bomber, would you necessarily peg him for an extremist Muslim terrorist?

Same thing happened to me about two years ago, except the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with my foot. And that was just from 1.5" heels! ...Which is why I always wear flats now... Be gentle and wear some comfy shoes :o)

Re: Water water everywhere...: Fashionably Limited, A 15:30 Update

LolaGeek — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 13:25:15 -0000

Very nice! I don't think you cheated - the rules for that original "wear 5 items of clothing for a month" challenge or whatever it was said that your workout clothes and hanging around the house clothes didn't count. So it was really just for what you wear to work or going out for the day. (I don't know if the 15:30 rules are different...)

I keep wanting to try this every time I see someone mention this or a similar project/challenge, but I just feel like it'll illustrate how little of my wardrobe I actually do need, and then I'll feel guilty about the overflowing closet...

Re: Water water everywhere...: Life-giving God-breathing Hope

This is awesome. I wish more self-proclaimed Christians were doing this. One of my favorite quotes from the book Rapture Ready: “The Bible has more than two thousand verses about poverty and maybe five or ten that you can interpret as being about abortion, but we’re all about abortion. Those two thousand verses about Christians’ responsibility to widows and orphans and aliens and strangers and the poor? We manage to be blind to all of that, but we can find those five verses about abortion.”

I like the belt! What was wrong with it? Just uncomfortable? (That's the reason I pretty much never wear belts...)

Re: Water water everywhere...: Fashion Friday: Back to School Shopping with thredUp

LolaGeek — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:09:42 -0000

I joined thredUp a while back when I first heard about it, listed a few things... and then they dropped the adult clothes and decided to focus on just kids :o( Oh well, I didn't really want someone else's clothes anyway, I just wanted to get rid of mine!

AWESOME! You did a beautiful job, Colleen!

Re: Good news for Google addicts!

LolaGeek — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:03:10 -0000

I was thinking of getting an Android phone for my next phone as well! (Of course, probably not at least for another year...) If you were writing apps for it I think I'd definitely get one :o)

That was so neat! I didn't think they would work but they really did!

Congrats on your 2008 successes and good luck with your 2009 goals. I especially like the kitty playtime one - that's something we are trying to work on as well. The cats have gotten especially naughty, which I think is their way of telling us they are displeased with the amount of time we spend playing with them.

Re: Windows 7 - a second chance for Vista?

LolaGeek — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 19:13:08 -0000

I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about it, because I've heard good stuff about it too! (Like, as soon as Vista came out they were like, "screw this, let's just get to work on Windows 7 and fix everything.")

Re: I'm a free-thinker

LolaGeek — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:03:30 -0000

I'm a PC user (never really cared for Macs), but I still do find the commercials funny... Actually, John Hodgeman (the guy who's a PC) is pretty funny in general - and a self-confessed Mac user.

Re: I'm a free-thinker

LolaGeek — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:27:47 -0000

That's weird that they didn't show the "I'm a Mac" commercials in the UK but they're airing the "I'm a PC" ones anyway. Both companies' commercials have been played to death in the US! (I think there are two "I'm a Mac" ones running currently, about Vista.)

You shouldn't have to stay up to find out the results... They probably won't know anything definitely until first thing in the morning (for you), after the west coast is counted. As long as I hear the Pennsylvania and Ohio results tonight, I'll sleep well, I think.

Aww, I got "Sad Cookie Cat!"

As a non-vegetarian, could you maybe take some of these veggie recipes and modify them to meat them up a little bit?

Re: Product Review: Ming Tsai’s Vegetable Spring Rolls

LolaGeek — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:23:41 -0000

Aww, that's a shame. I like Ming Tsai. And I tried one of his sauces from Target (plum something, maybe?) and thought it was pretty good.

Re: Ahh, Friday! :)

LolaGeek — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:31:25 -0000

This season definitely feels faster-paced than 1 and 2. I mean, first episode, look what happened right away - they thing they spent all of season 1 trying to prevent. Season 2 was kind of weird because of the writer's strike - they knew it was going to happen, so they did away with some of the things they wanted to do and wrapped up the stories too quickly.

Also, I can spell "League," duh.

Re: Ahh, Friday! :)

LolaGeek — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:12:49 -0000

If I liked Leage of Gentlemen, would I like Little Britain? Apparently the former opened the door for the latter. We don't get HBO, so I can't watch Little Britain USA, and someone GG met once gave him some Little Britain DVDs but they don't work in our DVD player :o(

Speaking of TV - Heroes!! How exciting that they're showing it almost concurrently in the US and UK! (But we're still a couple weeks ahead, I think, so you probably shouldn't read my blog too closely.)
