TINA! I'm excited, because rice was one of the last things on my list of food items that I wanted to be able to grow at home to feel like I could really come close to eliminating spending money at the grocery store; I really thought it was going to be impossible. But I just found a really cool and easy way to do it! I'll send you the link !

You should also see two small LEDs in back of the computer where the network cable goes. One should be steady on to indicate link (network connectivity). The other should blink to indicate traffic.

Wireless or network cable? Since it was working before you moved it, double check and make sure the cable is firmly plugged in. If it's wireless, you can often right-click on the wireless icon in the taskbar and choose Repair...

Four people are in an airplane: the president, the smartest man in the world, an old man and a young girl. The plane catches on fire and there are only three parachutes. The president gets one and says, “My country needs me!” and jumps. The smartest man in the world grabs one and says, “Well, the world needs me, since I'm so smart,” and jumps. One parachute left and the old man says, “You take it, my life is almost over anyway.” The little girl says, “No. We both can jump.” Confused, the man asks, “How?” The little girl says, “The smartest man in the world took my backpack.” Train Safe!

I heard a stat recently: the average age of nursing faculty is 56, and many of those are starting to retire, which is why it is so dang tough to get into N-school: not enough faculty to teach the classes, so they can't run enough clinical classes. Also, that is part of the reason why there is a huge nursing shortage.

It's hard to live with a nurse because... 1) When you forget to flush the toilet, you get a complete analysis with a plan on how to correct any noted problems. 2) Thanksgiving dinner comes in pre-cut small pieces because she doesn't want to have to perform the Heimlich maneuver and be reminded of work on the only holiday she's had off in years. 3) You've been awakened from a dead sleep in the middle of the night to find her shaking you because your breathing patterns were a little too close to a Cheyne-Stokes rhythm.

Is it really a crime if you sell sex to yourself?

I'm eating Skittles and listening to Candy Dulfer. Seems appropriate, no?

(drop dead, not dean)... BIRCH: No secret, just luck. Almost seredepitous in fact. Sometimes being in the right place at the right time. Tailor your resume to fit the job description (use multiple resumes) and get it critiqued. Find out what businesses/industry is hiring through networking and cold calls. Remain positive and optimistic. Remember YOU have great marketable skills needed by companies. Just have to go out there and "peddle" yourself.

Tina, I never worked Steve Oh, knew him from triathlons. Flew back from Seattle with him once. Met his daughter Ashley Dylan (Drop Dean Gorgeous movie).

Laura, I live in extreme NW suburbs of MSP/ST, my job is NW of hear, so I avoid metro traffic, and my route is opposite of heavy commute.

Actually, in looking out the window, there is a lull in the storm. Had this been like 6 years ago, I would take the opportunity in the snow lull to get a good ride in.
