Hi STEWART!

[bella]

[quote="samburusunset"]I could add my 2 cents about the ergonomics of the new Herman Miller Embody chair, but, it ain't gonna add anything to the argument.

It's not going to happen people. I don't think we'll hear from him until after the book comes out.

I've got real-life shit concerning me more. I've got 2 very sick elderly relatives in hospitals in other states who I'm worried I won't ever see again. I've been to 2 funerals in the past 9 days. That kind of put things in perspective in my book.


Maybe, like Bella said, he's just not that into us (until someone says he can be). <the parenthetical said by Sarcasma>


Byeeee for now.[/quote]


Sorry to hear that, Samburu. I hope you get to see your relatives. big hug to you.

Don't make me give the link to the "Bounce-ometer"

[English-lion]

Oh slap my face! sorry to hear about your family Amy

[samburusunset]

Thanks, girls. I didn't say that to evoke sympathy. Just to throw some perspective on the matter.

I know you're all having fun. Carry on.

The voluntary consent of the human subject in research is absolutely essential.

This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved, as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that, before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject, there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person, which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.


For the love of God, Stewart. Post something. Please.

EL, You've got me thinking. Just imagine the power resources a chick drummer with a nice rack could generate! She could power the guitar amps! And if the guitarist/bassist angered her, she could easily shut them down. Imagine the possibilities!

No keep going girl. I got a space hopper for my birthday, if I try hard enough I might be able to power the lights in the beach hut.

Well, I like it very much. I'm glad that I am my own boss, I can choose my own customers, play my music.
Actually the customers are the fun-part. One year I was too busy and decided to loose all the ones I didn't like
How do you work? By your own, or for a big company. I guess you're somebody who needs a lot op people around?

OK...my field is languages, so I will give a try to Lebanese Arabic (that is, if Stewart remembers a word of it);

Stewart,
mafi hada Ahla menak
ma 3melet shi ghalat
baddé moosé3adé
do3ot
ana ma befham enta

Did you just call Stewart a bad moose?

[DirtyMartini]

I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss and difficulties, Amy.


[quote="Divemistress of the Dark"]No fair, Dirty. We're supposed to be posting mind-numbing detailitude, not heartfelt works of art.[/quote]

Sorry, Dive, you're right. I wasn't thinking. I Shelley'ed when I should have Homi Bhabha'ed:

[quote]
The discursive figure of rumour produces an infectious ambivalence, an 'abyssal overlapping', of too much meaning and a certain meaninglessness. The semiotic condition of uncertainty and panic is generated when an old and familiar symbol (chapati) developes an unfamiliar social significance as sign through a transformation of the temporality of its representation. The performative time of the chapati's signification, its circulation as 'conspiracy' and/or 'insurgency', turns from the customary and commonplace to the archaic, awesome, terrifying. This reinscription of a traditional system of organization through the disturbance, or interruption, of the circulation of its cultural codes (whereupon 'new excitements were engendered, and vague expectations were raised'), bears a marked similarity to the conjuctural history of the Mutiny.

I must say that I'm enjoying this thread in a sadomasochistic sort of way. Though I feel that it is wanting for some really flavorful legalese.

[Divemistress of the Dark]

Beautiful handiwork, DM.

I'd think of some more, but I'm really supposed to be working and not hanging out online...sigh. What I'm doing is so boring I wish I could distill it into a post.
