  1. I'm not sure if it' the material or how it's constructed or both, but it's impossible to make the tri-star really bulge. When I got it, just to see, I tried to cram as much in as I could. It seems to go inward, rather than outward, if that makes sense: if you pack a section too much, it takes away internal space from another area, not bulge outward. I don't know if that's true for the aeronaut or not. In a couple weeks, we're going to have all the bags together, so will see. Just bought a med. cafe bag in black/steel for when I don't want to carry my heavy, big leather purse. Also picked up a few key straps, the wallet, and a couple organizer pouches.
  2. I've been to spinning class three days in a row now. I really hate it when I'm there, but I have to admit I like the way I feel afterwards.
  3. Nice fridge, Shelly! Went out to breakfast with my dad at 6AM, went to spinning class, went to the tailor to get two dresses and two pants hemmed, went shopping with my mom at Target and bought a cardigan for $10, went out to lunch, and am now doing laundry. Yay Saturdays.
  4. It's been a crazy week at work with our family workshop program in full swing coinciding with our every-three year C.A.R.F. accreditation survey. The survey is a fairly rigorous process with invading surveyors inspecting and covering everything from policies and procedures to chart reviews, from facility maintenance inspections to staff and patient interviews, etc. It ended today. Of the 1152 standards covered, we received only one partial recommendation for improvement, which had to do with how we document the dates on patients transitioning between levels, and three suggestions To have not even one full recommendation is basically unheard of, and means we totally rocked it. At 3PM today, we had a retirement party for a staff member who as worked there for 15 years. He is the only person to have ever retired from my place of employment. Everyone else, other than a handful remaining who have worked there as long, have been fired or quit. I can't even remember most of their names. It's a tough place to work, and the expectations are demanding. Today was just one of those days that made me proud to be part of a team that does what we do as well as we do it.
  5. I think his mom was having a procedure done today, unless I'm making that up. Hope she's okay.
  6. I might be remembering wrong, but I think Travelpro was the brand of luggage American Airlines made my brother get when he was a pilot for them. It's nice, extremely durable stuff.
  7. Invite her to dinner and stop posting threads like this here. Also, it's advice not advise.
  8. Bought two personalized Sigg water bottles for my niece and nephew. Did the rock star monkey one with name in flames for my nephew, and something pink and whatever for my niece. I think they'll like them. http://paulfrank.cafepress.com/
  9. This is kinda a stupid video with bad editing, but it gives a real good idea of size for the tri-star and aeronaut:
  10. Well, in fairness, it's not a gawd awful first post, though it will be interesting to see if this noob bothers to actually read the forum before posting more.
  11. Yes, the Gator would be a personal item. Guys, Dan kindly moved posts re HC Red Oxx Bag Buy into the Group Buy Forum. Look there and sign up.

    Meet Neko!

    those pics made me really smile. Great little personality shows through. Congrats, posty.
  13. Chocolate soy milk. I'd never had it before. It's not very good.
  14. Mike, nice pics. I remain jealous. Dan, good luck with the job search. As for me, I had a great day at work for no known reason; it was just one of those days where everything went perfectly, seemingly without effort, from simple conversations to clinical interventions, from getting all my documentation done to the surprise of a delicious birthday cake waiting in the staff lounge at the end of the day. This is such a rare occurrence, I'm going to bask in it for the evening, and try to do nothing at all so I don't ruin a thing.
  15. Hi, stevieo. Nice to see you here
  16. I gave one to my brother for Christmas, and he loves it. I tried it out when I was in Dallas, and some coffee was okay, some was lousy. I like the cup that you can use for your own coffee, but I never got to try it out. This is what I do. I use the aeropress most mornings when I only have time for one cup, and often in a to-go mug, and use the French press on the weekends.
  17. The Devil Makes Three - The Devil Makes Three
  18. Just spent the last few hours reading and deleting all the pms in my box from the last three years (apparently, I'd deleted nothing). What an funny, beautiful, crazy group of people. Some have left me feeling quite sad, but mostly I can't wait to see you all in person again.
  19. Homemade lentil soup, which is most tasty.
  20. Had to go into work today for the annual cpr and first aid classes. It was interesting to learn that they no longer recommend giving breaths, except with children, for cpr. Other than that, I just hung out with my visiting folks, went out to dinner with a friend, and have been having a rather nice day in the gorgeous Florida weather.
