Stupid Question (haven't been on the computer much in the past two days) Is RA Moving? Quitting Goodreads? Someone fill me in here, please.

[Félix]

He stepped down as moderator, and will be mostly gone until September. There's a thread about it.

[Cynthia]

Thank you Larry.

[Katie]

Folding clothes while watching bones, and surfing the net.

[Ema]

Adjusting the magnets on the fridge.

[Laurin]

Watching Cupcake Wars and posting on threads. Also, I'm trying to find a book. I know for a fact that I bought And Then There Were None, but I CANNOT find it. I looked in my room, the rest of the house, 3 of our cars, and it is nowhere to be found. I know that I didn't leave it anywhere, because I'm too careful with my books. I'm going INSANE!

[Félix]

Watching Black Swan.

[Scout]

Oooooh. Will you post on the movie thread? I'm interested in this one.

Right now I am sitting down to my computer after having experienced my first earthquake. Not a big one where I am, but Richmond VA hit with 5.9 and they are less than 2 hours away. Scary stuff.

We felt it here in Detroit, Amber. Our second one this year.

Stay safe out there.

[janine]

No earthquake here, but hiccups.

[Jim]

Glad everyone is OK.

[Ema]

A lot of my friends in Livonia said they felt it during class, but I didn't. Then again, I was too zoned out to notice the flickering lights in the hallway.

When I got home though, the lamp that I had on my nightstand was at the foot of my bed. So I assume Canton must have felt it quite a bit.

I am providing stimulus to the economy today. I just bought the husband and I an anniversary trip to Maui. It's going to be a blast--29 years and I still love his company. Well, except sometimes in the car on trips when I'm the map-master and he's the driver and he wants to know exactly how many blocks til the street he's supposed to turn on and what is the name of the street before the street he's supposed to turn on.....you know how it goes.

[Phil]

Sweet! Have fun on Maui -- that's where we honeymooned so we love it, too.

[Cynthia]

Woot! We honeymooned in Strawberry Point Iowa in a pup tent, so we've upgraded a bit since the early days! I'm looking forward to a return trip to Duke's Beach House--fun restaurant, great fish and martinis.

[janine]

Enjoy! Just make sure not to rent a car.

[Cynthia]

What? We always rent a car in Maui? Why not, Janine?

Oh, well that map-fighting routine is just part of our charm as an old married couple.

My cousins and I all grew up thinking my grandmother's name was "Goddamnit, Eleanor!" ;)

Congrats on 29 years and on the trip to Maui!

[Cynthia]

Mr. Cynthia never calls me "Goddamnit Cynthia," but that is a great story Jammies!

Cynthia, we celebrated our 27th anniversary in May. We wanted to go to London on our honeymoon but decided to go to Canada instead because we didn't have enough money for London. So we decided for our 25th we would go to London. The April before our 26th Anniversary we scheduled to go to London. Then those blasted volcanic eruptions ruined our plans and we were not able to go.
So we decided to go this year. Actually, it ended up working out better. Our youngest daughter was doing a semester abroad in London (she goes to Boston University). So we were able to see her while she was in London. Fantastic vacation! The weather was sunny and warm the whole time we were there (except it rained the night before we left to return home).

Cool, Karen. We love London as well. I especially love "Billy Elliott."

Right now I'm trying to make sure I am awake and alert enough to operate a vehicle. I accidentally fell asleep when I got home from work and just now got up and have to go out to get something for dinner.

[Jammies]

Painting my nails.

[Ema]

Deciding which books to donate to the library.

[Katie]

Drinking.

[smetchie]

Procrastinating going to bed because I'm enjoying my buzz too much. I love long weekends. I love being able to stay up late and not worry about getting up in the morning because my kids are finally old enough to sort themselves out for a couple hours in the morning. FINALLY! I'm living the dream.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Ha. Cute!

[Janice]

Watching my sister put on her makeup. It's an education!

[janine]

I've just finished proofreading a rather elaborate theological work. O, how I enjoy drawing semen in someone's theological masterpiece.

<3 Janine.

[Phil]

Right now I'm confused and getting angry while trying to figure out Medicare Part D coverage for my FIL.

Why did they have to fuck with Medicare in the Bush years? Why not have all coverage under the same "umbrella," and allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices???!

Oh, right. Because then the fucking insurance companies wouldn't be able to screw seniors out of even more money.

Hey, insurance companies -- FOAD.

[Cynthia]

Yikes-- poor Phil.

My mom is dealing with similar issues with my Grandma's coverage. Stupid insurance companies, like people don't have enough to worry about already.

[~Geektastic~]

Right now I'm weighing my options and trying to figure out if I have the time and the endurance to spend 12 hours a day either driving to/from or actually in the office, and 2-3 hours a night editing college admission essays for extra cash.

[Cynthia]

That's a long day, Amber.

[Jonathan]

You have a two-hour commute each way, Amber? That's a really difficult schedule.

Depends on the day and the traffic, but it's generally 1.5- 2 hours to drive 32 miles. Thank you, Northern VA. We rank second only to NYC for traffic.

[Jonathan]

Wow. That's a very rough schedule, Amber, and the stop-and-go driving probably makes it all the more aggravating.

Thank god for books on tape. However, if I manage to get this job I am interviewing for tomorrow, my commute will be cut by more than half.

*crosses fingers for Amber's new job.*

Me too. It would be nice if that worked out.

[Jim]

Good luck Amber.

[~Geektastic~]

Thanks guys, I'm hoping this one pans out.

[smetchie]

Good luck Amber!!

[Cynthia]

Right now I am spending money. I got a bid to have the windows washed (all 57 of them), sent some fatwood to my sister in law (for her kitchen woodstove) and bought Mr. Cynthia three snazzy new pairs of reading glasses.
