    TIL Dwight Schrute basically invented CrossFit on the Office, episode 8, season 9

    I've thought the same. The gym right? That wasn't until season 9? Wow

    Season 8, episode 9. Oops. It’s hilarious. Dwight got even funnier after Michael left. Apparently CrossFit has been around a lot longer, but I don’t remember it being well known and widely popular until the last few years. If there’s no tin cutting or phone book tearing I don’t want any part of it.

    TIL A new study conducted microbial surveys to investigate whether hand-dryers were sucking in potentially infectious microbes and then spraying them all over everything, as had been observed in earlier studies. They were.

    I have a friend who I haven't known very long claims to be Intuitive and has had her visions come true describe for me the Man who will end up making my life happy, she claims to have seen this person from the first moment she met me in September and to this day sees the same. He is a successful business owner, very tall, muscular but not body builder build, full head of brownish blonde hair and med length beard neatly groomed and a little gingerish and has aqua blue eyes. Clearly not the Man I'm seeing now and a little smitten for. :/

    I learned a great deal about my ancestry and it was way more exciting than I thought it would be. Digging up death notices and birth announcements and marriage certificates was such fun!

    Not really today, but a couple weeks ago.. I learned that you can’t keep everything all bottled up. If you do, you become so full emotionally that you can’t take anymore in. You end up getting to a place where you just start shutting down.

    I also learned, talking to someone... just spilling your guts. All the good, the bad, the really ugly stuff..just letting it all out, makes you feel better.

    Absolutely. Which is why I cry and vent often. I have to process all that *kitten* out or I will explode.

    That the Chain is broken again. :'(
    Fleetwood Mac has fired Lindsey Buckingham after a disagreement over the band's upcoming tour, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The band announced Monday that Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Neil Finn of Crowded House will replace him.

    News of Buckingham's departure initially broke when former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Billy Burnette shared an April 4th tweet that has since been deleted, saying: "Breaking news: Lindsey Buckingham is out but I'm not in." Rolling Stone has confirmed Buckingham's departure, though no specific tour dates have been announced.

    Fleetwood Mac issued a collective statement about the news, saying: "We are thrilled to welcome the musical talents of the caliber of Mike Campbell and Neil Finn into the Mac family. With Mike and Neil, we’ll be performing all the hits that the fans love, plus we’ll be surprising our audiences with some tracks from our historic catalogue of songs. Fleetwood Mac has always been a creative evolution. We look forward to honoring that spirit on this upcoming tour."

    Mick Fleetwood added, "Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents ... We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it’s got the unmistakable Mac sound."

    Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974 along with Stevie Nicks. He wrote and sang many of their most memorable songs, including "Go Your Own Way," "Tusk" and "Second Hand News." He left in 1987 shortly before the Tango On The Night tour (where he was replaced by Billy Burnette) and rejoined in 1996 for The Dance reunion tour. He remained active on the road with them for the next two decades. They last played full sets at Classic East and Classics West in July of last year, through they did play a brief set in January at the pre-Grammy MusiCares concert in their honor. The set ended, fittingly enough, with "Go Your Own Way."

    In August of last year, Mick Fleetwood spoke to Rolling Stone about the band's next tour. "I was in Italy recently and met Stevie out there," he said. "She said to me, 'Let's sit down and really listen to some stuff that sort of almost got forgotten.' So I know she's already thinking she wants to do some things we haven't done in years. I always think that Stevie and Lindsey should do a Buckingham Nicks song in the set. And have Christine do a blues song. I hope it certainly won't be the same show as we did before. We always played nearly three hours, and we cut it back a little bit for the wear and tear, but we do over two hours. And when you got three singers, which is, like, three bands, really, to get that perfect set, it's a trip."
