of course...i can't see why you couldn't do some of these after 30... - Zee. via Bookmarklet

I licked a battery.... - Ninth

Shoot I am over 30. Does this mean I can't do them? ; ) - Adriana

Me too but after several attempts I was able to. - fredbvalani via IM

Yup. It just stalls and then crashes. - Mitch

aww come on... Camp Man! (ok....it's kinda poor... :) - Zee.

I'm sure he'd be happy to share with u if u share urs with him... :P - Zee.

LOL I think you taught me a new word Trish...yummies! I love it! lol As for it not being a threatening name for a fighter...what he is is a threat to other men...he is just beautiful. Not just his yummies but his face - Adriana

five finger discount. best price ever. - Morgan Haley

asus aspire one; great battery, good enough cpu, the screen is quite good too, and you can get great deals (around $350 in Canada, so that would be less than $300 in the US) - heri

i'd go for uk version of nc10 hsdpa in black as my own choice. 3g and 6 real hrs batt give best on-net possibilities of all. Weak pound means super price for those paying in euros. nc10 sans 3g a good choice for those not needing mobile internet. - Steve 'Chippy' Paine

"Jessica Battram, 2004 Position this ingenious disc-shaped slicer on any apple and rotate to release perfect slices for snacking or cooking. Don't need a whole apple at once? Just leave the disc pressed against the fruit, and it will not dry out or turn brown. Made of stainless steel. Dishwasher safe." - edythe via Bookmarklet

I have this on my kaboodle.com wishlist. - Adriana

Interesting piece of trivia: in the old country (Western Europe) the ability to peel an apple was one of the tests to tell if a young woman was ready for marriage. To pass the test she had to be able to peel the entire apple without breaking the peel as it was removed from the apple. This tool probably makes that test easy. - Mark VandenBerg

no fair. you guys are having too much fun! - Gregg

Ketchup forever! - LonelyBob

leo, how many have you had :) - Daniel

Picture taken at a recent family post-Christmas gathering. L-R (me, my sister, brother and sister in law) - Louis Gray

Shouldn't you guys be taking advantage of the face-to-face gathering rather than interacting via your respective Mac? - Vinko

@Vinko: When conversing through computers, they can check from logs who said what first, when things get heated. - Jemm

I know many of you love winter so I shall do my best not to disparage it. However, it's not my most favorite time of year as I'm a creature of warm weather and open-toed shoes. But if there's one bright shining spot to the season it's most definitely citrus. Citrus in any form. When I begin to see the beautiful stacks of pommelos and meyers I can't help but get excited and my mouth begins to experience sympathy pucker just looking at them. - Derrick via Bookmarklet

RIGHT? That's what hooked me. - Derrick

Delicious - Adriana

"3: Color Balance Learn to color balance. Especially in situations where natural light is unavailable, your photos can have a yellow or blue cast that makes food look terrible (see the blue bacon pictured right). Use the white balance setting on your camera, or adjust the color digitally later on." - edythe via Bookmarklet

This looks good. I love my meat nice and raw - Adriana

I read the title, I swear I did, but kept looking at the picture thinking, 'dancing squid'. - Anika Malone

heh. :) - edythe

I thought they were squid too! Not a Pistachio lover. But looks like a fun idea - Adriana

Now, in theory, blocking the rooms could be seen as censorship, so the dilemma is an interesting one. Is this spam? Is this "off limits"? - Louis Gray

Many countries and ISPs block any domain containing "adult content" and many would consider that type of invitation either SPAM or PORN related. I know StumbleUpon allows it but has a rating system so that some can block what they find offensive. If FF allows borderline porn a rating system would be the minimum we need. Do we really want to go there? - Internet Strategist

This is SPAM. - fredbvalani

"I served these strawberry and rhubarb empanadas with some Grand Marnier whipped cream, I have one of those cool cream whippers where you just mix all the ingredients and then put them in the whipper container, charge it and done, I used 2 cups of heavy cream, 3 tbs of sugar and 2 tbs of Grand Marnier, and it was just right, not too sweet and a hint of Grand Marnier." - edythe via Bookmarklet

Empanadas are the nom. Seriously. And Rhubarb is doubly nomable. - Jason Huebel

Hmmm...the whole emapanada with Rhubarb thing sounds good, but I am usedto mine with pollo y carne. NOw you got me wanting to try these out. - Adriana

Realtime Ping Services - Kevin Marks, David Recordon, Ken Sheppardson, Karoli Kuns, Steve Gillmor discuss the future of FeedBurner. Recorded Monday,  January 5, 2009. - Steve Gillmor

I like that. Another example on how we function far better with the particular. If we can put names and faces on our competitors, it is more real to us than if we have a large mass of them. Although rationally it is easier to be in the top 20 percent in a large group than a small group, but that's not what our emotions perceive. - Joelle Nebbe

"A major piece in my note on Friday regarding FriendFeed was recommending topical summaries. How can I find out who the top folks are in sports, tech, news, you name it? Today, that’d be the search engine, but it looks like your thoughts are on the same lines." - Louis Gray

socialmedian.com seems like it does what you want! - Zach Landes

Socialmedian does a good job there, yes, Zach. It is a good piece of differentiation. - Louis Gray

Actually Louis, as soon as I joined social median it occurred to me that combining the deliciousness of its newsmakers and categories with friendfeed's beautiful simplicity and conversation engendering feed style would be the perfect site...but alas, I don't know how that could be accomplished. For now, I'll do my conversing on friendfeed and some supplementary article checking on socialmedian. - Zach Landes

That's cuz you're fabulous. (and a lot of times, when people respond to you via FF, it @replies!) - Mona N.

I use Twitter in much the same way now, Derrick. I started an @reply fiend and then found FFeed... - Michael W. May

I followed you because I like what you post on FriendFeed and I check Twitter more regularly (via Tweetdeck) than I do FF. - Bryce

That child is adorable; those cookies look yummy... - Michael W. May
