super tight tops for working out aren't as breathable. Plus I think you generally try to balance things. A tight top and bottom is a bit much. And since women don't generally want to make their butt/hips/thighs look bigger, looser tops make sense.

Or it's just what's in style right now. Idk, why are guys all shaving their hair weird right now?

Venting:

I have been asking about different coffee/coffee pot options for over a month. About three weeks ago my contact let me know that she would have a sales person call me and we can talk about it. I finally received an email today from the Regional Director.... made me wonder if someone said, 'Hey they keep asking, is it solved yet?' He asked if I had any more questions. I basically sent an email back saying that I had asked questions. This is what they were. Do you have the answers?
Is it bad that I kinda hope some salesperson gets an email saying, "Why haven't you gotten back to them?"?


Blech.


It annoys me immensely when people fail to respond in a reasonable time.

Then this guy tells me that it would be my (or the office really) responsibility to clean a more complex system daily.... He still didn't mention prices. I feel like he's condescending.

Edit: At least he countered with better options. Still no pricing.

My companies internet and server has been shutting off at 1-5 minute intervals all morning. I think Mr. Robot got us.

Our power was off from Wed at 4pm until Thu at 7am. Someone got stuck in an elevator.

traipsing thru the treetops
My pants are "Bon-Ton" brand cheap. I think they were cheap because they were so long.



Well, there's two ways, depending on if you're posting a "public" pic or a personal pic. With a public pic, like say if I wanted to post my avatar. I googled to find the image, and then clicked to get to the webpage it's at.Right click on the image, and select "Open image". This should bring you to a webpage of just the image. Copy the URL into your clipboard. Come back to CF, click the little tree icon (I think?) Select the tab for the webpage, and paste the webpage in.

PS - If you're doing it mobile, grab the URL like I described above. (Click and hold on the pic to get the choice to Open Image) Post the URL between these: and then /img in the same square brackets.[/QUOTE]

On desktop/laptop:
Some pics you can directly copy/paste. Right click on the actual image (not a thumbnail of the image), select "copy image", go to CF, open a reply box, left click to set the cursor in the box (that step seems counter-intuitive, but it IS necessary sometimes), then right click, select paste image.
If that doesn't work, instead of "copy image" select "save image as", and save it to your desktop. Go to CF, open a reply box, and in the toolbar at the top of the reply box, third icon from right is "insert image". Follow instructions.

If you're doing it on mobile...then hellifIknow...I can barely access the damn site on my phone or tablet. :)

OK, now that I got some things done and Mrs. is back from swimming lessons, the update everyone has been waiting for about the yoga pants situation:


They pants shipped last night. Hoping they'll arrive early next week

This post made me pull up the good ol "I shipped my pants" bit on the interwebs. Still funny.

As in never been behind the wheel before? I have done this a number of times. We go up and down the driveway a lot to get a feel for the footwork, cause that first braking can be a doozy. Then go over to the cemetery.

sounds like the person I'm still dealing with on this ****** program that "our computers just can't handle" then they come back with the requirements being a basic computer. He came back again saying "I do not recommend doing x" when I was asking for system requirements and not his advice on how the program should be used. He kept saying it pretty much every email. I finally went back to our IT person and I'm like if you have questions for them again (since they told me that X would be possible to do even though condescending guy said it isn't), you talk directly to them. I'm done playing middleman here.

You're quite the pessimist. I was thinking we'd at least end up going to the hospital for awhile first.

and then you have to go back yet again, to politely say "are you blind? if I bold this will you finally give me the information I asked for three times now?"
