My birthday is only 3 months away, so if I stay on track with my weight loss efforts, I think that would be a perfect gift. :) http://mamamusings.net/archives/2010/01/18/visualizations_for_motivation.php#c080575 Just picked up a Withings scale over the weekend. Am only on the 4th day of use so I can't provide a deep comment but early indications are good. Scale works well; the wifi and iPhone integration is smooth. Now I just need to get back into my regular gym schedule (and away from my Holiday Gluttony) and watch the weight melt away ;) http://mamamusings.net/archives/2010/01/18/visualizations_for_motivation.php#c080574 I was Dave's first office mate at MCI. He started the day the Chernobyl incident was disclosed by the Kremlin, and the first words out of his mouth when we heard it was,"This is big, this could lead to an end of the Cold War." For those of us old enough to remember that time, there was no inkling that the Cold War was coming to an end or that the Berlin Wall would fall anytime soon. It was a remarkable "instant analysis" that turned out to be 100% correct, and that no one on TV, radio or in the newspaper saw coming at that time. I knew every time Dave opened his mouth (which wasn't a rare occurrence)there was a 95-99% chance that I would be hearing something I wouldn't hear anywhere else - no matter how much I traveled, who I met, what I read, or watched on TV. I was really looking forward to getting in touch with him at least one more time to listen to the stories he'd gathered since our last discussion back in the 90's. What a sad ending for such an interesting and unique person. http://mamamusings.net/archives/2004/09/09/remembering_dave.php#c080565 The best in the market is events.org.

Happy New Year! http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/12/31/remembering_the_2000s.php#c080558 EventBrite is great. https://www.eventbrite.com/r/createevent http://mamamusings.net/archives/2006/02/15/conference_registration_software.php#c080557 Liz, I can feel your frustration. I have had similar experience. Dorschel collision-told my car was ready. Went to pick it up and 3/4 work was not done but this was after I had signed over the insurance check to them. I do feel that the items that were not done were so blante that is it can only be because they thought dealing with a women...it would not matter. Now, I have to go back and have them finish the job that the insurance has already paid for. Very underhanded.. You should as I am going to file a BBB complaint. http://mamamusings.net/archives/2008/08/23/dorschels_dreadful_difference.php#c080554 can i use your tips to be published for my magazine ? tks ghalib http://mamamusings.net/archives/2005/02/02/useful_household_tips.php#c080553 Would much rather you be happy than posting brilliantly! May your joy continue and multiply throughout the coming new year!! http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/12/13/radio_silence.php#c080552 I'd guess most of us follow you via RSS, so infrequent posts are still "Hey, Liz has something to say" and welcome. OTOH, having completed another study of library-related blogs, I must note that "I'm going to do more blogging" posts after absences seem to be kisses of death for too many bloggers--they're never heard from again. (Not always, but often.) Hope that doesn't happen in this case. http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/12/13/radio_silence.php#c080551 That's a great reason for not posting. I must say from my own experience that I don't think you'll actually start posting more. Sometimes life just changes and you move on to other things... http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/12/13/radio_silence.php#c080550 Meh, I'd rather see you less frequently in the RSS feed, knowing that you're happy and well someplace else! Best wishes, Liz. http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/12/13/radio_silence.php#c080549 Thanks for pulling this together and sharing! http://mamamusings.net/archives/2009/10/22/happy_blogiversary_to_me.php#c080548 I realize I'm awfully late to the game, but I came across a link to this post while researching personal library cataloging tools, and I'm interested to know whatever happened to PULP? Did it get shut down? Did it end up being rolled into something current? Thanks! http://mamamusings.net/archives/2006/06/27/what_ive_been_working_on.php#c080547
