had one yesterday as continuing follow up from my bike accident last year. i am overall fine and hopefully this is all precautionary.
the funny part was a series of questions that i couldnt tell what the purpose was. it was more like Jeopardy-style trivia than anything else. the questions were too esoteric to test intelligence, so who knows ..
the questions (as i remember them):
- who created the character Sherlock Holmes?
- who was Cleopatra?
- who is credited w/ the theory of relativity?
- who was Catherine the Great?
- there were at least 5 others ..
lucky for me i got them all right for being good at trivia. i struggled the most w/ Sherlock ..
2 or 3. I rollerblade pretty well, so can do cross-over turns on ice skates. But I can't hockey stop. And I just feel wobbly all the time and my ankles hurt.
When my dad was at Cal in the 1940's, he took lessons at Berkeley Icelandia. I didn't take lessons until graduate school in Boston. Did well enough to do single versions of toe loop, salchow, etc. Could do a spin 1 out of 10 tries.
6? I can stay upright fairly well, and cross-over from right to left (but oddly not the other direction) but cannot skate backwards nor can I put any pace into skating.
When I was a teenager, I was maybe a 5. I could skate around the old ice skating rink at Sunvalley mall. I never was able to go backwards like a hockey player can. I remember there was both a skating rink and a movie there down on the 1st floor by the JCPennys. When No 1 was maybe 7, he had an ice skating field trip with his class to the Oakland Ice Center. I sucked. Maybe a 2. I even re-hurt my back trying to catch myself from falling.
Really enjoyed Poker Face episode 7 (the racing episode), 6 was manic - I thought it was a lesser episode but still tons of fun.
The guest stars on this show are amazing: Tim Blake Nelson, Adrian Brody, Hong Chau, Benjamin Bratt, John Ratzenberger, Chloe Sevginy, Judith Light, Ellen Barkin, Tim Meadows. . . all these just so far.

Mrs Slug and I have been speculating about who would buy the recently rebuilt home across the street from Casa de Slug. It's listed as 4 beds, 4 baths, 4,432 sq. ft., $3,495,000.
Five weeks ago it was $3,995,000 ($500,000 more). We figure the target audience for this property was someone clearly from overseas.
This house doesn't have a view of The City from the inside, and the layout is funky, clearly influenced by the original layout. I think the guy flipping this house suffered from lack of imagination. He bought it cheap ($750K) and was looking to make a killing.
IIRC Vancouver did something somewhat similar, but instead of banning purchases they fined foreigners for buying up homes and leaving them vacant, due to the housing shortage and skyrocketing rents. Something $5k per month. I wonder how many of the homes in LA are getting snapped up with all cash, above asking prices by foreign nationals.
Per NBC, Sydney Powell's source claimed that allegations of Dominion voting machine came to her "experiencing something like time-travel in a semi-conscious state" that allows her to "see what others don't see and hear what others don't hear". This, folks, is why you don't eat a whole pot brownie.
This is, IMHO, a bit of a big deal. Putting a defendant's attorney before the grand jury sets Trump up to strip away his attorney-client privilege. If the judge agrees that the lawyer did collude with Trump to obstruct justice, he will be compelled to testify against Trump. Corchran and Bobb may have just lit the fuse on their law licenses.
Growing up we didn't ski but the family would go up to the Sierras just to see the snow and would do a little tobogganing. Can't say it was on the scale of the video though. What we did was very tame.
At Tahoe a couple of weekends ago, I saw a couple of people riding these BMX bike skis. Basically two short skis replacing where the wheels would be. With full suspension in the middle of the bike. The first person I saw ride it was an older guy so I thought maybe someone that had knee issues. But the 2nd person was a late teen or early 20s guy.
Cheese straws. They're basically savory cheddar cookies. When you eat one, you're like "this is some powdery cheese bullshit" and then before you know it, you've had five of them in 10 minutes.
a good fraction of my extended family. 2 uncles, 5 first cousins, and all their offspring. if i wanted a quick 25 person family reunion i would fly to Stockholm for the weekend.
i have been 4-5 times. always enjoyable in different ways. the north (away from all the people) is particularly nice. one of the 5 cousins lives in Lulea, somewhat near the Arctic Circle.
Oh right! There is like a horror movie about it! Is that any good?
No human sacrifices but we did play a game called “bernball” (sp?) which was like baseball. There was also some dancing around a pole (I assume it was meant to represent a penis) and eating of herring.
Saab. Airplanes and autos (and probably much more). I was reminded of them because I was looking at a google satellite view of Castle AFB yesterday and I saw a Saab fighter jet in their inventory. HSB and I went there on the way back from Yosemite to see the SR-71. They have a lot of planes on display in their museum. I'm going to have to make another trip out there.
My first car (‘90-‘97) was a hand me down from Pa Chitwood….a 1983 Saab EMS I named Rrricooo Saab-e because the Gerardo hit was one of my favorites. Helluva car - went up and down the coast for 6 years straight with very little issue…
I also got one in 1990 at the Buggy Bank in Berkeley, 99 EMS. Drove it across the Rockies with no problem. The back seat upholstery had been chewed up by a dog. Got it for $900. Standard transmission. My Dad borrowed it one time to haul some Persian rugs and blew up the clutch going up Marin (as you can imagine).
One of the first chefs that I really liked and followed was Jamie Oliver. He made cooking seem approachable and fun. I own several of his books. He is right about many things - but the more I learn about cooking, the more I realize he is a bit of a hack. I mean, he's not terrible, but he's a below-average chef.
Re the chef salad, and salads generally, I don’t mind them per se as I know this a healthier option than basically anything else I would choose, but it’s so much work to eat! If you get a sandwich at a lunch meeting, you just eat that super quick and get down to business. If you get a salad in a box thing, you have to pick it at it intermittently for the entire hour. It’s like a job!

On a 19 point scale, how good are you at ice-skating?
2 or 3. I rollerblade pretty well, so can do cross-over turns on ice skates. But I can't hockey stop. And I just feel wobbly all the time and my ankles hurt.

When my dad was at Cal in the 1940's, he took lessons at Berkeley Icelandia. I didn't take lessons until graduate school in Boston. Did well enough to do single versions of toe loop, salchow, etc. Could do a spin 1 out of 10 tries.
Probably a 4. I haven't done it since grade school, but I was competent enough at it back then.
2. I've never tried it.
i have tried it and i am a 1
Probably about a 5. I can maneuver and work my way around an ice skating ring at a decent speed without falling.
1
6? I can stay upright fairly well, and cross-over from right to left (but oddly not the other direction) but cannot skate backwards nor can I put any pace into skating.
uh 1? Since I've never done it.
SGBear says you can be a 2 w/o ever trying it
I was better as a child when I took figure skating lessons in my youth. Now...I can stay upright. The same cannot be said of roller skating.
I never was able to figure out how to roller skate. Even when, as a kid, I could ice skate. Not sure why.

Also Simon Helberg and S. Epatha Merkerson in the episode with Judith Light.
Watched episode 5 of Poker Face - so great, such a fun episode (well all of them)
Love that show.
Fell behind and finally watched the latest Last of Us episode.
Man, that show is incredibly well done.
i'm two (three?) eps in. it sucks you in.
not a lot of long-term contracts signed by the actors, I presume.
Not sitcom but Lindsay Wagner on Bionic Woman was my first love…I was 4, but boy howdy, Jaime Sommers left her mark on the young Chitwood…
Wonder Woman *drops the mic*
Not a sitcom, but Michael Stedman on thirtysomething for sure. Also, Dylan McKay, who kicked off my lifelong love of bad boys.
...interesting
Wouldn't call it a "sitcom," but . . . Kaylee on Firefly.
Katee Sackhoff in Longmire. (I've never seen Battlestar Galactica so didn't know her from that)
Not Morena Baccarin? Man, this audience is really hard to predict.
She's TOO obviously sexy. Just throws me off. Girl-next-door types are my jam.
yes, that's why Alison Brie (and Mary Ann over Ginger)
Over Alison Brie? Oh man, I can not agree with you. You remember her (AB) in the Western episode? OMG

Re the chef salad, and salads generally, I don’t mind them per se as I know this a healthier option than basically anything else I would choose, but it’s so much work to eat! If you get a sandwich at a lunch meeting, you just eat that super quick and get down to business. If you get a salad in a box thing, you have to pick it at it intermittently for the entire hour.
