  1. hurt my ankle over wkend…ran 7.5m which I don’t think the problem…then I drove over 2 hours up and 2 hours back on thruway keeping keeping constant speed/tension on accelerator pedal…and painful to walk yesterday…I think ligament. Kills me when I can’t be active. I’ll rest it another day.

  2. Umm… The What, you must be experiencing this same “cognitive dissonnance.” I didn’t reply to your last comment because i couldn’t compute. Honestly, I think it was too brilliant for my feeble brain to handle. Maybe I’ll try again later.

  3. R’ut R’oh…

    I wonder why now?

    May 11 (Bloomberg) — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. board approved a proposed rule that would require about 40 U.S. financial institutions to submit annual contingent resolution plans — “funeral plans” — that would demonstrate how to wind down the company in the event of its failure.

    FDIC board members voted unanimously to release the proposal for public comment during a meeting in Washington today. The proposed rule would apply to depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets that are part of a bank holding company with assets of more than $100 billion.

    Senators Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, and Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, have pushed for a similar proposal for all large financial institutions in the financial-overhaul bill now on the Senate floor.

  4. oh, i’m totally getting a rat in front of my house. Pls DIBS and Kens, don’t set up before 7am, ok? or at least don’t turn the megaphone on before 7am. I actually already have a rat in my front “yard.” The rat moved in below the wooden trash container. Then we cleaned out its nest, and it moved, apparently, into my outdoor closet (below the stoop- i am in the garden level.) I see it scurry back and forth, when i look at out my front window. i hate her.

    Thanks CGar and Pete, I’ll cehck out those threads, and call Shahib.
