I had a back spasm around the ribs yesterday, so I had to take Advil PM. I actually got decent sleep.

Dude, that really sucks! I'm sorry to read you're in a jam (not to be confused w/Earljam).
Here's a thought: Doesn't Hotlanta have pretty decent public transportation? If so, then you'd only really need your car to visit Miss Kentucky? If that is the case you can rent a car for those occasions. Think of all the money you could save on gas. :)
If none of the above works, I'm sorry. Don't know what else to suggest. :(
For our most recent weekend trip to Kentucky, we just rented a car from the airport. We went for a standard car, using some hideous coupon. When we got there, they told us that they were out of standard cars, and offered us an SUV, a Ford Grand Marquis, etc... I asked them if we could get a Prius.
The gas for the whole trip (going and returning) was about $60. GOT to love that Prius! 46+ mpg.
Uh oh ... that should spark a message from throaty.;)
If you are in the Emory Credit Union, you might find some good deals on cars. But definitely look into what MARTA programs are available.

Yes, but how were you to know that I wouldn't wake up at 3 or 4AM? AND THEN you'd have to expect Ymo at 5 or 6AM Eastern time.
Has the LTE experienced posts in each hour of a day yet? That might be a worthy goal. What does our leader, Bostondevil, think of this goal?
Oh, tonight as the Opening Ceremonies are being broadcast, I will begin my project for the Ravelympics (it's a knitting thing from Ravelry, the knitting website). The goal is to start and complete a project while the Olympic flame is lit. (In the US, you are allowed to start either in real time or during the broadcast, whichever you prefer.) The idea is to pick something that will be a challenge but not impossible to complete in 16 days. Me? I'm knitting my first pair of socks.
I'm also a part of Team Red Sox Nation. One of the inspirational threads on Ravelry for Team Red Sox Nation is Butt Watch 2008. This thread includes photos of the posterior regions of Red Sox players in uniform (and discussion of said photos). Needless to say, if I can ever figure out how to borrow the photo of Mike Lowell, I will finally have my avatar.
My knitting friends all tell me that once you go handknit socks, you never go back.
I'm working from home today. :D
My frigging washing machine beeps when it's done. It beeps 3 times every 20 seconds for about 10 minutes, like some kind of Guantanamo torture. I'm too busy (or lazy) to go shut it off. If I had gun I would shoot it. Maybe I should defenestrate the machine. I just wanted to use that word, defenestrate. It doesn't get used enough.
Well THAT got off to a rousing start.
We now have the 2PM Eastern hour covered.
Please update with a post in the 3PM hour.
Cheers,
Lavabe
Well, at least we have a post in the 5PM eastern time slot.
When do the Olympics come on? Will we get live action late at night?
Cheers,
Lavabe
I think we've crossed over into the 6:00 pm eastern time slot.
My guess is that some of the cable channels will show live events, but big networks show tape delayed stuff in the evening and some live stuff in the early morning. Let's hope the men's BBall is shown live.
I've been slacking for the last day and a half...missed my usual posting hour this morning. Am I allowed to take another time slot? Do I have compensate the holder of that time slot?
7:19?
Just got back from a nice walk with the dogs. The puppy is so lively, you get her outside and "it's a great day to be alive"!
8:22 my time, 7:22 DBR time. The opening ceremonies are on, pretty cool.
