Pretty! But makes me look bad.

Falafel sandwich and babaghanoush or however you spell that.

Bummer. I love pecan pie.

No, not in a while. Seems like since he became chairman, he's been a lot busier.

Gymnastics meet in Schaumburg? Take the family to Kuma's! Yobb burger Daniel got the Kuma Burger

Ouch! Sorry Mike. Feel better soon!

Damn, sorry Mike. Hope your son feels better soon! I hear many stories at work. They go through some tough shit, for sure. Ouch, sorry Brent and Iain. Agree with Steve. Old. Daily stretches and light exercise has been great for me.

Nice! 'Modernist Cuisine' has got nothing over Jeffyesque Cuisine!

Damn. Have missed you here, Jeffy!

Oh, and I cant know anything about anyone's motivations from a couple of posts. And I can't read minds. As Anne says, she used to be worried about that, but now that she knows me, she knows there's pretty much an empty humming noise running through my head most of the time. (Not the tinnitus!)

I echo what Antonio said. I'd add that I think there is a lot of history with CJ that occurred before I became active here. So I'm not privy to that, but it does seem to affect a lot of the perceptions of his posts. Not saying that it shouldn't, only that I don't fully understand all of the angry reactions. I do appreciate viewing attractive women as art. But also suspect that Anne would roll her eyes if she saw me looking at those, and I would understand why she would. But I don't think she'd be offended. Just rolling her eyes, and saying something like, 'headphones, huh?' 'Oh brother ' She looks at plenty of pics of Brad Pitt and George Clooney and such. And I roll my eyes. Whatever it was in the past with CJ, I hope that CJ can get what it is that bothers so many here who to me, have pretty darn good judgement. And that those with good judgement would give him a chance to change and acknowledge it when/if he does. People do mature, grow, change over time. I suspect by the reactions, that there hasn't been much to acknowledge at this point?

Damn. All we ever did was practice taking each other's blood pressure! Lauren is great. Actually, they're all great.

I'm enjoying your recent choice of subject.

That Parker 51 writes beautifully! Also traded for Chris's set.

Boy, those old guys can still bring it!

Waiting to see Blind Boys of Alabama at Dominican University in River Forest, IL

Happy birthday, pirate Gene! Edit: sorry ... belated !

Bought this Waterman Expert from Jacob. Really nice! Thanks, Jacob! Also picked up the Parker 51, which I've not inked yet.

Happy birthday Bryan! Wishing you lots of good beverage.

No email notifications here, either.

Happy birthday, Jeff!

Yeah, our back yard looks about the same. [emoji45]

My wife and I share 3GB on Verizon, and it's been fine with some planning. I download music at home on wifi to carry in my phone's memory. I got a wifi extender to reach the part of the house where my wife was streaming music and switching over to LTE without knowing it. We don't stream video over LTE other than brief YouTube or vine clips. We do everything else with our smartphones, like look up stuff on Google, check the weather, use Google maps, sync calendars and contacts, etc... For us, the reliability and almost always having a good signal with Verizon has been way more valuable than the unlimited data of Sprint. After switching, I realized that unlimited data wasn't so great if you can't access that data half the time. It's easy to offer unlimited data and not offer a consistent signal. Maybe they've improved, but when I switched a few years ago, it was very worthwhile. The only scenario I could see where it's worth it is if you are not very mobile , and you have a great signal in the one place you use the phone. Like when I lived in a building in downtown Chicago that had a Sprint tower on its rooftop, and I was a resident who went to work and came home and did nothing else. I was happy with Sprint for years in that situation!

Happy Birthday, John!

Great to hear, Chris and Al!
