afternoon everyone.

Sammi posted a beautiful status on FB that will help with your faith in humanity.  Maybe someone else can copy it over?

this one?:

"Boston. **** horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fracti...on of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

I need to continue purging stuff.  It's hard, but I resolve to fight my packrat tendencies.  I need more room in my closet.

I need to do that with all my crafts supplies...I don't use 70% of the stuff in my craft room *sigh*

Alarm clock for Sparky because everyone desires a piece in the morning.

I made pina colada gluten free cupcakes yesterday. Kind of a disappointment :T

UNPOSSIBLE!!

Sadly, true. They're kind of thicker and chewy, more like a muffin than a light fluffy cupcake? The flavor is 'eh', not as sweet as I'd like...but paired with my too-sugary buttercream it works out okay actually.

They taste more coconutty than pineapple, so I'm going to top them with a light dusting of coconut flakes, and pineapple chunks. :]

...also buying some store made cupcakes for those who don't like the taste, because I'm thinking the chewy almond flour is an acquired taste thing.

So where do we wear it during Kama sutra sessions?

I knew there was a reason people left their socks on...

It's not. It's an accelerometer & altimeter combined to calculate movement and it uses proprietary algorithm to calculate calories burned.

Okay, that makes sense.  Thanks!

Which is why it gets confused when I bike!

I know we have a few Fitbit users here. Should I wait for the Fitbit Flex?

I don't know if it will have any additional features, or whether they are just changing the design because people keep losing them. The wrist band seems like it could be just as eay to lose to me, and is possibly not as flexible to carry. I wear mine on my bra, but I know from experience that it is easy to lose if it comes unclipped.

When wearing on my bra I put it in so that the bit is on the inside....

Same. I shove the fitbit onto the cup, with the fitbit itself inside the cup, so there's absolutely no chance of it falling out while I'm running around all day long.

Though this does make for awkward stares when I reach in there to pull it out and check my step count :T

*raises nose in disapproval, turns and mounts ficus*

*dies tragically*

Well, I didn't see that one coming.

A true Shakespearean tragedy.

No one really knows it, but originally, he had Romeo and Juliet dying via ficus. His editor thought poison and a dagger would go over better.

Mel, I know people say women won't bulk up BUT I DO!!! I maintain on 800 calories, I just have a super slow metabolism, and if I even think about picking up a pink dumbbell, I will get huge, ripped muscles!!!! I am a special, unique snowflake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

I thought you were serious, until I read the pink dumbbell part...and I was sitting here with HUGE EYES O_O wondering how the hell someone could only eat 800 calories a day and do all the sport activities you do.
