Actually, I'm not much of a beer drinker. Never tasted one I liked (dodging bolt of lightning). I will admit, though, that the wine thread inspired me to get a bottle of Pinot Noir - I'm trying to develop a taste for red wine. I haven't opened it yet, though; I'm afraid it will take too long to finish off. How long is a bottle of wine good after it's been opened?
Now the Blue Devils have disappeared, and the ad is for Duke items on ebay. Not Duke Blue Devils, but Duke (Ellington, some motorcycle with Duke in the name, and a couple of other nonrelated items). Gotta fix that.

FWIW, 44 hours since I last posted. Just trying to break the drought.
and I think it belongs here. Do I become something new?
Yes! I'm a starter!
I'll have to go shopping.
As an aside, I have an ad for Crate and Barrel now, for appetizer plates. Did the wine mention trigger that? And, along with the Duke basketball championship memorabilia on the ebay ad, there's Dukes of Hazzard stuff!
Again, just to skew the ads:

I've got Crate and Barrel at the top and Beerman ringtones on the right. It's fun to watch the ads change.
FYI - Vacuum sealing the wine also allows open bottles to be stored on their sides. I hate cleaning white wine that has leaked out from around the replaced cork in the refrigerator. This solves that problem.
Must stop reading the icky power bill thread! I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Jumping? AAAHHHH!!!!
OK, please let's not start up the discussion here about you know whats.
Go to my happy place.
Big mistake, told the kids I'd take them to see Semi-Pro before I found out it was rated R. No love for mom today but tough, they are too young for an R rated film.
More posting drought! 1 sick cat to deal with and a self imposed ban. No obvious withdrawl symptoms yet...
I don't think anything in particular, she threw up everything she ate last night. But I think she was just eating too fast, it has happened before. She had surgery last week(spay), but she is finally back to her normal behaviour and activity so I think she might have been extra hungry. She prefers the wet food and she tends to eat it quickly so her brother doesn't get all of it.

I'm tired of the current non-Duke related Google ads on this page. At least, on my view of this page. Nothin' but C&B (trying to not make it appear by power of suggestion).
Time for good karma on my behalf. I have a job interview at Wash U next week. My current situation is bad enough to actually make me consider moving away from here, and that's pretty bad. My options could be: stay in current job doing technician level work (I have a Ph.D. and am supervised by a B.S. level chemist on a power trip) or work at a cutting-edge research facility that would pay me about $20K more than I'm making right now. Hopefully the interview will go well enough that I have these options!
Hope the interview goes well, AD.
One of my cats tends to throw up a lot too. I put laxative ointment - you can find this stuff at any pet store or in any pet section of a box store - on this paws and/or shoulder and that seems to help. The laxative is also used to help with furballs, which as the warmer weather season starts arriving you will have to deal with.
If you have any cat issues/questions feel free to ask. I have 16 years of experience. And, now that I have three I'm learning more and more.
