Sometimes I feel like the odd man out because I've never used Tapatalk. I just access the site through safari on my phone.

I'm the same way. I have the app so that I can upload pictures and get notifications, but normally I just use the mobile version.

On that note, I don't understand when people say they can't do something because they are "mobile." You can switch to desktop view on your phone and do whatever (delete a picture, edit a post, tag someone, etc.).

My phone is a piece of crap so sometimes when I don't do something because I am mobile it is because I would rather throw my phone out the window than try to deal with whatever it is that I want to do.

Over the weekend, we were working on the house. I rounded the corner to talk to MH, who was sitting on the steps while he worked.

His shorts had bunched up and his junk was hanging out all over the place. I tried not to laugh and it quickly became clear he didn't realize so I had to tell him. How do you not realize your balls are out?

Mating ritual?

Although, it pales in comparison to these freaky animals:

Sounds like the best way to get a new phone!

I have 0 motivation today, as usual. And I only have 15 days left to finish this project for my boss.

I finally got a Mabis (it arrived over the weekend) and I'm struggling to adjust. My old thermometer had a backlight and the display was bigger. Now in the dark I'm all squinting at the Mabis trying to figure out if I can put it in my mouth yet. I had a weird moment this morning where I was sure it erased my temp instead of storing it. Finally read the directions and realized it flashes past it real quick.

Casenotes by hand are so much fun.

This sounds terrible.

I have to hand write all of my notes since I left the hospital. So fun... so much paper.

I am tryyyyying to put off getting a new phone for as long as possible. But I do know that it is going to become inevitable at some point.

Hi ::waves:: I'm moley, I hang out in WTDS and the Larry board. Way back when I was on TTGP, now I'm almost back for round two. I'm not into intros so sorry if you are. I'll be easing my way into the board this month and hopefully TFAS sometime in July.

Meh, it's a good enough one for those who like them.

Best of luck to you when the time comes. And cute avatar!

It's faster than our computer system, but hard on the wrist.

Has anyone ever done a drunken watermelon? I am going to cut it apart because I hear that just dumping the bottle doesn't allow it to spread. I am using Absolute, how long should I let it set?

I'm totally incapable of doing most technological things and use tapatalk just bc it's what I used when I came from TD, but thanks for this tip...I never saw the web view option before! (I just learned how to upload a pic about a week ago...yeah I'm really behind).

 What kind of thermometer did you have that was backlit? My Mabis is dying, so I need a new one. I was just going to get another Mabis, but I always temp in the dark, so if there's another good brand out with with a backlit screen that would be awesome.

"good" is relative in this case - I had the NexCare BBT from Fred Meyer/Kroger's. It labelled as a BBT, but it only went out to 10ths of a degree, not 100ths. But it was backlit, which was nice. It also beeped every 4 seconds while it was taking your temp, so you would know it was still working and in the right spot in your mouth.

I've done it with just putting the bottle in and letting it pour in and it was fine--it took almost 30 mins for it to fill the melon--then we had it sit for about 6 hours. I've heard one hour is enough though.

I have THIS thermometer and I really like it. Backlit, stores the last 10 temps and beeps to let you know it is done. I have bought it twice... my dog ate the first one, lol.

After 6 hours is it super strong, like you are taking a shot?

It's raining and I feel like complete crap. Got a couple hours of napping in at least. I think today is going to be a laze on the couch watching Netflix with the dog kind of day.

Hopefully said dog cooperates.

I JUST told DH that I want to do this for a party that we are going to this weekend.  He said that he tried once and just let the bottle pour in and that it didn't work.  He couldn't tell me why it didn't work though :/

But, Dr. Google says that is the way to go and that it has to sit for a few hours to soak in.

I'm sorry you don't feel well.

I was up until midnight last night, because M didn't get home until 10:30, and I would love nothing more than to be lounging on my couch right now. 10.5 more working days after today, and I have a stretch of five days with no work to think about at all. I think I can. I think I can.

Thanks! I barely slept last night so the nap was needed. One of the perks of being a teacher is summers off, and I plan to take advantage of that!

Your can do it! It's only 10.5 days!

It was strong but not bad, you could tell there was vodka but it was still yummy.
If you want something quicker you can cube the watermelon and soak them in vodka in the fridge and it seems to seep in faster and the watermelon is more bite sized, but if you soak too long the watermelon breaks down (keeping it cold helps).

I read that you should rotate the melon to move around the booze. We are going to be staying at a hotel, so I thought that the fruit being cut up would be beneficial. Maybe I will do it in the melon and cut it before we leave.

That is my concern, I want it to be soaked in, but not break down. I think I will do it on Thursday night, for Fri/Sat.

Ugh, today just sucks. Work sucks and I want to go home and drink but agreed to go to my mom's house after work to help her organize some of her crafting stuff.

Some of my lilies are almost 5 feet tall. These things are getting huge.

Humph... mine didn't do that

Is it bad that I spent a large portion of yesterday digging up my lilies and potting them so I could take them with me when I move?

They had hardly even popped up when the people saw the house so maybe they won't even notice. Don't care, I spent a lot of time and money on those liliies and they are miiiiine!

We found a kitten in my engine and are keeping him in our house for now. We aren't sure if we are keeping him because our lease requires a pet deposit we can't afford right now.
