Do you have the phone number or info about Yummy box lunches? I’ve got a $150 gift certificate from her business and she’s out of business now. Any help? Thanks!

Got a Dog Off Leash ticket from a U.S. forest cop there. My dog was off leash in the parking lot and main trail….the only places they need to be leashed. Oh well, still a nice place.

@mudman–if everyone had that same attitude, then NO-ONE would be able to enjoy the park! If you can’t deal with poop-get a pet rock! Just visited the park today and it was AWESOME! Took 2 dogs and 2 kids with me and I was disapointed that there were so many doggie land mines to avoid! Other then that, was amazing!

All I can say is “take life slower it’s too good to rush it”.

Found this post looking for rabbits and nom… It seems you only thought your rabbit was, erm… ‘stupid’ because you assumed it thought the same way as a dog. Did you try to litter train your pet rabbit? Did you even attempt to learn its body language, and what it wanted from you? Did it even like you? In the picture, a rabbit is chewing cords to pieces. Have you ever seen a rabbit in the wild chewing underbrush? They chew cords because it looks like roots or vines, to create a path.

You can train rabbits just like any other pet.
My case in point:

It’s nice you have a smart dog, but rabbits have about as much, if not more, personality and smarts than a dog.

I just recently went to see The Expendables. It was a pretty good movie compared to the garbage that’s usually out these days! I’m happy I saw it online. It’s a lot more convenient.

“Or actually it makes me think of that scene in The Wrath of Khan where Khan puts the nasty worm thingies in Chekhov’s ear, but whatever.”

…

I sometimes don’t know what you’re talking about, but yer the best.

Glad WordCamp is going well.

There is no way I am going to worry about my dog’s poop in the middle of a thousand acres.

[...] since this is somewhat based on that, you should take a moment, head over to MorganPDX.com and read “I jaywalk because I’m Jewish.” Go ahead, it’s short, well-written, and will only take five [...]

I don’t think you’re busy enough, myself. Can I talk to you about a side project I’d like to get you involved with? No?

Okaaaaay, then….

It’s actually not that uncommon to put a keyboard in the dishwasher. BoingBoing covered it in 2005: http://www.boingboing.net/2005/05/30/clean-your-keyboard-.html

I haven’t done it myself, but have worked places where people would put them in the washer on Friday night and be using them again on Monday morning. I don’t think they used much (if any) soap. Obviously, you only want to do this to basic keyboards. Anything fancy (especially anything that takes a battery, like wireless keyboards) may not turn out well. Most keyboards are fairly simple and quite rugged — a matrix of momentary pushbutton switches with a basic serial chip to translate from the switches to codes. It’s not too different from accidentally running your USB thumbdrive in the clothes washer. Because it’s unpowered, there’s nothing to short out. Just make sure it’s completely dry before using.

Wow. Wow, Brett. What kind of keyboard was it? Was it wireless or wired?

I’ve had some pretty amazing stories of electronics surviving a winter in the snow on my neighbor’s front yard, and still working perfectly. But then, I didn’t *intend* to put it out on the front yard over the winter.

@Steven: I have to say that this is probably the silliest thing my friends have ever asked of me.

But then, I have some crazy friends, so it’s just a matter of time, really.

You’re waaaaaaay nicer than I am when approached for help with techy stuff.

I try to be patient, at first, but eventually the non-tech-savvy friend hears something along the lines of “You’re fucking kidding me, right?!” joined with a look of incredulous superiority.

I’m a bad person.
