:: 'Ropa all settled :)
:: 11-10-09 @ 4:00pm
:: I had that last weekend, man it was weird. Then I went out for dinner at a Japanese restaurant and eating raw fish was making me a bit woosey. Don't know how I didn't bring it all back up - but it was GOOD :-)

:: I've decided I'm going to go through a sushi and raw salmon addiction.

:: Why not go through a walrus addicition? Those are healthier than most addictions.

:: Autumn~equivoque
:: 11-10-09 @ 10:12pm
:: I like sashimi, sushi not so much. A walrus addiction will eventually result in a trip to the ER so I don't know how that's healthier.

:: TSC- NaNo? As if.
:: 11-10-09 @ 10:36pm
:: Not so. Where are you going to find a living Walrus, just, y'know, out there? No stimulus equals no outbreak.

:: Autumn~equivoque
:: 11-10-09 @ 10:55pm
:: Spink is a walrus. That's an outbreak right there.

:: Dad
:: 11-10-09 @ 11:28pm

:: Autumn~equivoque
:: 11-12-09 @ 5:23am
:: I don't. I like the newer versions. Vista is OK so long as you don't try to save the world with it, whereupon it will most inconveniently crash.

:: 'Ropa all settled :)

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-12-09 @ 9:57am
:: Vista didn't last long. Windows 7 is out now. I guess I will be going straight from XP to 7 without ever seeing Vista. Yeah, why does WDC give Madlibs and Crosswords top billing but consigns Campfires and In&Outs to the submenus? Is it because of us?

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-14-09 @ 8:47am

:: 11-14-09 @ 4:40pm

:: 11-14-09 @ 11:05pm

:: 'Rav - Back Down Under!!!

:: Autumn~equivoque

:: Well, YOU are still doing that.

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-16-09 @ 8:36am

:: TSC- NaNo? As if.
:: 11-16-09 @ 2:57pm
:: I'm doing it while washing my laundry!

:: Dad
:: 11-16-09 @ 10:34pm
:: I'm just glad I remembered to ground myself. Now, when I fall asleep mid-sentence, 'Rav's ZAPs are routed into a battery, which works my defibulator that shocks my heart when I have a heart attack.

:: Trust me, Steve, I live comparably close to Niue. And Autumn's just very smart for her age :P

:: TSC- NaNo? As if.
:: 11-17-09 @ 8:22pm

:: 'Rav - Back Down Under!!!
:: 11-17-09 @ 11:34pm

:: 'Ropa all settled :)

:: Can I meet your son, Dad? (THAT sounded weird...)

:: Autumn~equivoque
:: 11-18-09 @ 6:22am

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-18-09 @ 7:18am
:: If people are bugging you about acquiring a girlfriend/boyfriend then just buy a large stuffed animal and carry it everywhere with you. Then they will talk about that instead.

:: 11-18-09 @ 4:48pm
:: Autumn, does TSC know about it? :D

:: 11-18-09 @ 11:12pm
:: #1 I don't think I'm your time-traveling Dad; to make sure, send me a picture of you mom. #2 Yes, 'Ropa, when you're in Florida, you may meet my son. #3 You're right, 'Ropa. That did sound weird. #4 I don't know about TSC

:: 'Ropa all settled :)
:: 11-19-09 @ 3:01pm
:: Let me guess. Wellington or Auckland. You most likely would have flown into Auckland, yeah?

:: 'Rav - Back Down Under!!!
:: 11-19-09 @ 9:27pm
:: Correct. Flew into Auckland for the week. One of my family friends had a ceremony for renewing their wedding vows. So my dad flew into Sydney, met up with me and then we flew into Auckland for the ceremony.

:: Quick question for our friends from Australia/NZ: You guys know what a funnel-web spider is?? Are they very common?? Ever get bit by one?? How big are they??

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-20-09 @ 9:26am
:: We have funnel-web spiders in South USA. Ours are very common and very large. You would have to actually put your hand down the funnel to get bitten, I think, and nobody here is that stupid. I can't speak for the NZ-OZ crowd.

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-20-09 @ 9:28am
:: How large? If you woke up at night and saw one crawling up your bedcover you would scream "HOLY SH__!" jump out of bed scattering covers everywhere, turn on all the lights, and not go back to bed until you found it and killed it. :]

:: 'Ropa all settled :)
:: 11-20-09 @ 4:39pm
:: They're pretty common over most of the world. They're common in New Zealand but as far as I know there aren't any huge ones like what Steve was talking about. I don't know how big they are in Oz though.

:: Autumn~equivoque
:: 11-20-09 @ 11:38pm
:: I don't think we have any in Indonesia, although the sheer abundance of other creepy crawlies more than makes up for the dearth of funnel spiders.

:: 'Rav - Back Down Under!!!
:: 11-21-09 @ 12:28am
:: Australian Funnel Spiders aren't huge, but they are very common. We have to check our shoes every morning and such to make sure there aren't any in there. Never been bitten by one (or any spider) but most of my life has been spent in the US.

:: Steve ~ Friction
:: 11-21-09 @ 8:46am
