How'd these guys choose their club? that's an awfully small target they're aiming at waaaay down there!

Re: genius

Andra — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 23:58:31 -0000

i had a thought along these lines a moment ago - late on a saturday while arguing about work:

A smart man can win any argument; a genius can get her desired outcome out of any argument.

That is....pressing a point of view, supporting with evidence & ultimately 'winning' is moot. Genius lies in the ability to get the desired outcome squared away. It's hitting the target that can't be seen - changing the argument, reframing the conversation, or just "being wrong" in a way that achieves a specific action.

Because 'being right' isn't necessarily the most important thing. Efficacy is.

I'm telling you....NOW. Yes, we're expecting. Due in June. So far, this baby has proved everyone wrong; being happy and not troublesome to me at all (aka: no morning sickness, no nothing. Sometimes I forget I'm even pregnant, until my pants don't fit and I'm gently reminded again.)

I agree with you on the books too. I picked a few up from the Library because I didn't want to spend the money. But found I really didn't need them. Then I got one for Christmas. I only reference it rarely and I don't let the less than 1% stuff bother me.

My experience was completely to opposite - Sue found the books focused too tightly on all the horrible things that could go wrong. She didn't want to know about the 0.2% of the population that gets _insert random horrible defect here_.

So, i read everything. If i were to boil all those books down... there'd only be those few tips. Eat well. Sleep lots. Exercise a little. Don't stress - let the doctor tell you when it's time to worry; otherwise, assume things are going fine!

The missing sock is typical. As is the arched back and the peering around the back of me. She loves that one-arm-kung-fu-grip - she feels secure and has an absolute party.

Have kung-fu-grip, will travel!

That's completely understandable. For the next few weeks I'll be on high alert for any minor updates just in case.

i'll happily wait for 2.7's security holes - whatever they may be - to be exposed and patched before upgrading. until 2.71. is out imagine me standing behind my blog dancing from foot to foot like Homer Simpson with a full bladder.

Best line from Scrooged: Well, have you tried staples?

Love that movie. May have to buy it and watch it this holiday season. You should have affiliate linked the word Scrooged. I'd have clicked it and bought it. ;)

Re: The Worst Movie Ever

kupkadotca — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:32:55 -0000

yes, 'the day after tomorrow' is also awful. Frankly i'd rather fellate a hot curling iron than watch that movie again.

on a happier note, i've decided that in the category "best christmas movie ever" the indisputable winner is "Scrooged". Bill Murray pre-psychosis. Brilliant.

Wanted was visually fun and lord knows i like explosions, monsters, exploding monsters and angelina jolie mostly naked. Wanted scores high in all of those categories.

It just left me with a feeling of despair... as if i'd just been told that i have to hope and wait for someone to see into the real me and to hand me my true life?!?!? Too bad i can't just sack-up and make something of myself, myself!

Re: What drives your WordPress blog

vegasgeek — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:24:01 -0000

Sure thing, James. Glad you liked it.

Yes, I use easytube as well, but I don't think it's a "must have" plugin unless you are going to use video on your site. Then, it's a MUST!

Re: What drives your WordPress blog

kupkadotca — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:49:43 -0000

thanks, john! Discus, twitter tools and all-in-one i use already. I do like numbers and pretty graphs, so i'll check out the stats, for sure!

Don't forget easytube! ... http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easytube/

@kupkadotca Thanks, I will ask her. I have a chiro that I'm happy with. My leg feels a LOT better today. I'm pretty sure I did myself no favors by going to the Foo Fighters show after being worked on earlier in the day.

Re: I missed it all

kupkadotca — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:49:08 -0000

Ask Dee for a recco to her chiro. I had issues with a calf muscle which he tracked back through my back to my running gait. A couple massages on the leg, some rest and of course a couple kicks in the spine and a change of my gait... and i was fixed quick and haven't had issue since.

knowing you can't is wisdom... arranging the people around you to handle the things you can't is brilliance :)

It's cheaper for me to pay accountants to take care of my books monthly... than it is to pay accountants to fix my books yearly after i've spent the year making them an abomination.
