  1. ladycroft on jenks’s “Omg you guys!!!” Thank you for sharing with me this morning because NO - I had no idea!
  2. tinypliny on jenks’s “the bat story” Nevermind, they are not. http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/are-bats-really-blind You unlearn something everyday! :-) Who's the kid? Is s/he your cute niece's sibling?
  3. tinypliny on jenks’s “the bat story” Aren't bats blind?
  4. metalpeter on jenks’s “the bat story” If your using IE that happens a lot.... If you use Chrome then once you drag the pictures you have to give it time for them to go to 100% and show up next to the name and then the number shows up in the post not sure about how firefox work…
  5. jenks on jenks’s “the bat story” Well, just one picture I guess. The others say they uploaded, but they're not there.
  6. museumchick on jenks’s “prayers for a friend” Josh will be missed by so many people. I'm so sorry to hear this news. I only met him a few times, but he seemed like such a great guy, really funny and intelligent.
  7. metalpeter on jenks’s “prayers for a friend” I don't know what to say that I all ready haven't what can one say really other then I'm sorry for your lose as well............
  8. mrmike on jenks’s “prayers for a friend” Just saw the feed on FB, still stunned.
  9. matthew on jenks’s “prayers for a friend” oh my god. what horrible news. I'm sending my best wishes to Jason and his family.Joshua will be missed.
  10. tinypliny on jenks’s “blogalicious” Beautiful blue! Thanks for sharing. :-) I love that bride's dress - looks like its made out of silk-paper.
  11. tinypliny on jenks’s “Nantucket” You have friends with private jets? Duly noted. ;-)
  12. mrmike on jenks’s “Nantucket” The whole thing was very cool, nice story
  13. jenks on jenks’s “Nantucket” Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I can't even imagine it either- but it's fun to get to tag along and pretend every once in a while. ;) Although actually it makes me feel kind of awkward and conspicuous and uncomfortable. I don't think I'd be comf…
  14. libertad on jenks’s “Nantucket” P.S. Glad you had a good time! Did you ever work out your recycling issue?
  15. libertad on jenks’s “Nantucket” Wow, I can't believe you know somebody with a private jet and sea plane. I rode my bike to the falls yesterday and there were so many really expensive homes along the Niagara on the Canadian side. I just couldn't comprehend having so much …
  16. jenks on jenks’s “Nantucket” Exactly. I am so NOT spontaneous and always have to be in control of everything- so it felt good to "let go" a little. And it all worked out in the end, with a good little story too. :)
  17. paul on jenks’s “Nantucket” Wow, that sounds fanctabulous minus the weather/hotel drama. I woudl do it just for the story.
  18. paul on jenks’s “blogalicious” I love Maine, it seems like one of the few clean places left.
  19. tinypliny on jenks’s “grr.” That's interesting. My gmail is so effective in filtering out spam, almost 650 odd emails a day end up in the spam folder and I blanket-ignore them all. On rare occasion some useful emails end up there, but thus far, I haven't missed anyth…
  20. jenks on jenks’s “grr.” yeah, my email does filter them out as spam. They end up in my junk box. Still, I just like to stop them. My ISP actually does a good job- i get very little spam (as opposed to my gmail account, which is just not even usable any more). And…
  21. tinypliny on jenks’s “grr.” Can you view the raw-email and identify the IP they are originating from? See how to do this here: http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress/ Then, you can either: a) Block that complete IP in your email client/provider as a spam. There …
  22. metalpeter on jenks’s “grr.” Not sure how you do this, but if you can find the sender there should be a way in your e-mail to block that sender
  23. paul on jenks’s “grr.” Spam is so annoying but what does illegal mean in the global sense. Really its only a legal issue if sent from americans to americans. How are you getting them, doesn't your email have a filter you can block with?
  24. tinypliny on jenks’s “I want this” Or you could just set an extra alarm on your smartphone to the recycle sound! :-)
  25. jessbob on jenks’s “I want this” First, that gadget is pretty freakin cool. Second, you may have already looked into this, but the town may have some type of ordinance requiring recycling for commercial buildings even though they don't have to participate in the town's pr…
  26. paul on jenks’s “misc” How safe are those microcells?
  27. libertad on jenks’s “I want this” I'm having a recycling crisis right now. I am also stockpiling because I need a new place to put my recycles out. My building does not recycle and the one time I put my own can out someone took it because my friend promised me he would ret…
  28. lilho on jenks’s “For Keith” haaaaa! loves it. he's funny and also kinda creepy. i
  29. lilho on jenks’s “misc” i love that baby. she's so cute. nieces are the best and cutest. yay for being in love, that's cute too!
  30. metalpeter on jenks’s “misc” People in other room so didn't watch the Video. Congrats! Glad you liked Louise CK. Heard he is funny but never seen him live

  2. jenks on mk’s “anxiety” You also have to watch out for rebound symptoms when you stop using nose spray- but my god, Afrin can be a miracle drug. But more than that- you're engaged?! congrats!!!
  3. jenks on enknot’s “Puppies in the river” Ok I haven't watched the video, but I get the gist. Two words: SPAY/NEUTER no one wants to see puppies killed. But no one wants packs of wild dogs either. Shelters are always full, and tons of dogs get put down every day. And cats. We just…

  7. jenks on heidi’s “first sign of the end of summer” Oh my god you are going to make me cry. My summer doesn't start for real until tomorrow. don't tell me it's over!!
  8. jenks on paul’s “I am an innovator” congrats paul! that's awesome!! Nice to see people recognized for all their hard work. :)
  9. jenks on leetee’s “maters” You are so right. There is nothing like a fresh tomato. with a little basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper- delicious lunch. Or just straight with a little salt. yummm. And those hard pink things that come in salad bars etc are n…
  10. jenks on libertad’s “Flowers in the Attic” ha, I remember when those books came out. I never read them, but I remember that my friends that did thought they were all dangerous and sneaky reading these scandalous books without their parents knowing.
  11. jenks on leetee’s “Bitch & Moan” Grr, Lee I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. And THIS is a prime example of how healthcare is broken in this country. You, or your job, pays through the nose to give you health insurance. And you, as opposed to many people out there, ar…
  12. jenks on tinypliny’s “Lights. Art. Music!” book. not back. ugh.
  13. jenks on tinypliny’s “Lights. Art. Music!” ooh, I've always been meaning to read that back... didn't know they've made it into a show!
  14. jenks on jim’s “This Is So Sad/Cute” aww! poor little guy! he doesn't have Down's- it's just that he's a tiny baby! French Bulldog, I think. fortunately there is a followup video "puppy finally makes it!" where he gets up. And according to the comments, all bulldog puppies ha…
  15. jenks on tinypliny’s “French Press Mesh Vs. Permanent Mesh Filter” disclaimer- I am not a huge coffee connoisseur. That said, the differences I notice when using the gold filters are- they let more sediment through. So you have more 'stuff' in the bottom of your cup. you have to, obviously, wash them, ins…
  16. jenks on jenks’s “misc” It boosts a signal, or adds 3G signal where there isn't any. But yes, you have to already be an AT&T customer to buy one, and it will only let AT&T 3G phones to use its signal. Though I believe Verizon and others have similar devices. You …
  17. jenks on jason’s “Fight Capitalism - Don't Marry” aw jay, I love hearing you so happy. :) Congrats, man! As far as weddings... yeah, the 'industry' makes me a little sick. (and just spend a little time watching "Bridezillas" and "Say yes to the Dress" and "Platinum Weddings" if you want t…
  18. jenks on jenks’s “recreated journal :(” ugh, so many typos up there and I can't fix them. sorry!
  19. jenks on paul’s “I can't believe this is still like this” what's the problem? the exercise ball?
  20. jenks on paul’s “Belgian beer garden on elmwood sucks” I just read some article about some guy getting arrested/sued for taking pictures of trains at a train station. Apparently you're not allowed to do that. WTF?? The place looks cool. Hopefully it won't turn out to suck.
  21. jenks on KeithT’s “Sooo beat” But can you coast? Or if, say, you go down a hill and start going fast, does it make your legs spin a million rpm? And I posted a video, just for you. :)
  22. jenks on KeithT’s “Sooo beat” Can you freewheel? That (i.e. braking) is what scares me the most about fixies.
  23. jenks on paul’s “Give up on war” Yay Obama! This sure is "change"!
  24. jenks on KeithT’s “Sooo beat” Nice! I'm too chicken to ride a fixie.
  25. jenks on ladycroft’s “you know you live in doha when” yeah, my brother is about to move to Arizona, and keeps bitching about the heat.... I told him I don't want to hear it. He could be living in Doha. ;)
  26. jenks on paul’s “Web Mausoleum” I have two dead friends on facebook... In one case, some friend's created a page for a guy that was already dead, as a tribute/memorial, etc. but then last winter a (young) friend of mine in Buffalo died suddenly. And every once in a while…
  27. jenks on terry’s “Sad terry bwoken pinky” wow, that's a pretty decent fracture. here's to speedy healing!
  28. jenks on heidi’s “zoma:essence of abyssinia” mmmmmmm I looooooove ethopian. Too bad it's usually so hard to find.
  29. jenks on jason’s “Summer Drinks” Mm, I second the dark and stormy. Last night had a "diplomat"- with some some venezuelan aged rum, stoli vanilla, and passionfruit juice. Sounds like a weird combo, but it was good. (and I hate rum). Then had a blood orange bourbon sour. L…
  30. jenks on paul’s “you cannot tell me carrot top is not on steroids.” ugh. i hate that guy. I hope those pix are photoshopped.
