Here they are! The charts! The glorious charts that made it up, even if they were a few days late, photbucket was down, two wifi connections were down, and I am traveling. Sometimes it feels like getting anything done is a miracle. [ Same chart...different look. I suppose it isn't necessary this week, but given the…

Photobucket is down for matenance, so I can't upload the charts yet, but the weekly winner was LUCKBEWITHU!!!

Walked all around the parking lots to no avail. Anyone else here? Going to be in front of the pavilion until 9:45 (there are three small parking lots)

Wonderful challenges, everyone! We DO rock!!

My challenger's choice is to complete a "research day" this week (i.e. spend a day focusing on research rather than teaching or professional service). And for those of you who played last time....I'm in it to win it this time! I'm not sitting this one on the sidelines this time! :)

Weekly Winner (Woo!) is DREAMERMOTH And the OVERALL WINNER?!?!?! Why, of course it is MOTHEROFBRIDETOBE!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! CONGRATS, MOTHEROFBRIDETOBE! It was handy for me...I never had to change that orange highlight from week to week on the cumulative winner - it was always you!! :) In case you are interested, I…

So I have been integrating your feedback for the next challenge. Azmiz suggested a personal challenge (and BrainOnAStick suggested an alliterative name for it). Karen_golfs suggested the Wednesday check in and to keep the no-drop policy. BrainOnAStick suggested points for identifying the self-care items. I have integrated…

We are doing wonderfully!

Most of the people in my life that are all "GMOs are evil!" are extremely conservative, but a lot of the public fear mongering also comes from extreme liberals as well. Interesting. It sounds like the extremes have found something to bond together on. Wheee! Meanwhile, yes. Monsanto is pretty icky. They have poor business…

Exactly. Also....who the hell didn't think that Kraft Mac and Cheese had bad stuff in it? It has _powdered orange "cheese"_. And it calls for half a stick of butter. I get confused why the general American people express concerns about the healthiness of GMOs (which are created to reduce the need for pesticides and…

Oh my goodness. I'm going to be here. I won't be the day after though - fortuitous! Nice planning, I might add. In other words....I will come and walk/hike/stuff.

Yikes! I just realize that I cut off the totals for the cumulative chart. I will fix it for next week (and the couple of week one entries that are not carrying over). Sorry about that!! And W I will add your victories to the charts for next week (it's all about the cognitive restructuring!)
