Yeah. I like it when people whine about banning someone. These are message boards and people say stupid stuff. Shouldn't be on one if you are easily offended.

I probably shouldn't have slept for over 11 hours on Sunday. That led to 4-5 hours of ****** sleep last night.
All engineers are equally and extremely nerdy (says the supercool accountant).
Pluto's a planet. The change to non-planet status was probably due to some nerdy engineer.

As scary as Husker fans can be, this is maybe the scariest thing about them. It's really bizarre how closely they follow football recruiting. I think it is about a 40 hour per week job for them.
The 14-year-old turned into a 15-year-old yesterday. God help me.
As scary as it is, I'm more proud of her than I am frightened.

I think people follow recruiting because it gives then an excuse to use the term "upside" a lot.
With most fans, I'll agree. However, with Husker fans, I think they just follow recruiting so closely because they are weird.
A couple years back on a Sunday morning someone asked me how the Huskers did the day before. I told them I wasn't born in Nebraska so I had never been indoctrinated into the cult so I wouldn't know.
JC, Saturday my 8 yo became a 9 yo. What I miss the most is the patter of a three year old running across the floor early Saturday morning and jumping into our bed.
Had to return the freshman's tux from prom this morning. Wife made me go to the grand March Saturday (actually needed a tractor break so it was a reason). I still was unsure why he'd want to go to prom with who he did, wasn't that close of a friend (and while very athletic, she qualified for 3 events at Drake this weekend, she is far from an attractive girl). Then the first couple came out. A junior guy and my son's sophmore girlfriend. It struck me, they both found a way to make prom while not being old enough.

I'm not in the mood to work today. Have a repair that I said I'd do today and a small job to get something ready for tomorrow. Sitting here and trying to motivate myself.
Yesterday on the drive back, the skid shield (I think that's what google called it) came loose on my car. Because I was in the middle of nowhere, my solution was to tie it up with the shoe laces from my sneakers, until I could get to a truck stop and get a bungee cord.
Now I need to get my car in to have it replaced, and go buy new shoe laces.

question for running peoples - this is my running schedule the last couple weeks:
Saturday the 9th - 4 miles
Thursday the 14th - 2.75 miles
Tuesday the 19th - 4.5 miles
weekend work and evening events have kept me from running as much as I would like. So now the 5 mile race is this Saturday. I have not run since Tuesday. Tuesday's run my ankle started hurting just over 2 miles which is an improvement from it starting at like 1.5. So the extra time off seemed to help that. That was also my fastest pace over 3 miles since staring back up.
I had hoped to get 5 miles in over the weekend but no luck. At this point I'm thinking I could skip gym today and run 5 miles or I could maybe get in a couple miles Thursday. My question is am I better off at this point not trying to run and just waiting until Saturday, or should I try to get more mileage in by the weekend? 11 days between runs seems like a lot but my last break seemed to help both speed and ankle.

If it's a skid plate, ID check to see how important it is. You may be able to Dave money and just take it completely off. Pending we are talking the same thing.
From what I could find online, it looks like it's to prevent splashes. Silver piece of flimsy metal.
edit: I've had my car less than a year, if it's under warranty, I'll get it fixed Wednesday morning.

11 days off is too much IMHO. Your run is 5 miles Saturday? I'd do an "easy" 3 miler Tuesday/Thursday or Mon/Wed.
Tomorrow we have an event right after work that I won't have time to shower and change in between. Kickball is 6:30 Thursday which is really pushing it for time. Plus I will likely have some soreness faster in my ankle going that close to Saturday.
I'm torn because tomorrow would really be best for a shorter run and that would set me up on a similar schedule to what I listed that led to my fast run last week. Maybe I shall have to get up early tomorrow.
