So here's what I'm wondering. If Manafort is the first birdie to sing, are they going to think ahead enough to get everything he says documented well enough to make it allowable in court in the event he, um, has an accident on the way there? I don't put it past Putin and his cronies at all to make this problem "go away" in the classic manner and it worries me they'll get him before he's helpful.

I've had good luck with ficus. I know they're cliche, but they really do look nice and do well indoors. Are you looking for a particular type of plant? (Tree, grass-ish, etc?)

wawa - if your road shoes don't have big "holes" in the bottom where rocks could get stuck, just wear them for a run or two until you decide if you like it or not, then hit the LRS for a dedicated pair if you want - Altra and Hoka are seriously popular around here where we have, um, some trails and stuff. I did my first 10-20 trail runs (back when I ran) in road shoes and it was just fine, except for the damn rocks getting stuck in the mizuno heel holes (do they still do that?).
My random is that something in the last couple days has upset my stomach, to the point where I'm planning things *around* decent bathrooms. This is no bueno, and I'm not sure if I ate something unfortunate or if I've got a weak bug or if I'm developing something more interesting, but there it is. I haven't swam since I've been back because I'm afraid of what would happen in the pool. (TMI?)
And one more thing, pixy0stix, I was just watching your sig in fascination when the cat sneaked up and touched me on the side (he's hungry) and I screeched and nearly fell out of the chair. OMG - waiting for heart rate to return to normal. Thanks for that.

I think I'd do a door, provided it's not going to cause you storage issues with clothes. You could do a builder-basic door for now and then later, after the financial hit has passed, turn it into a murphy door. Like this:

I am so proud of you and I was so happy to be there to see you do this amazing thing. You were so happy to be there and I am so impressed by your attitude and delight in the whole day. Congrats, Ironman!

I'm sitting at the airport for part 2 of my trip and so entertained by the olds in my gate area. I've got one holding a phone the size of a Galaxy tab up at eye level, but full arm extension, several testing their carry on in the little test buckets, and one pair wondering loudly why their nephew isn't responding to their texts (apparently said nephew lives in Montana, so this is doing amusing. Lady, it's like 3am there. Chill.). This is going to be a fun flight. :S
I'll swim in the Chesapeake Bay on Saturday so it'll be all good.
Where? What? When? Can I come?
I'm down near Norfolk on a girls' weekend. You're welcome to meet me there if it's convenient; I'll probably be swimming by myself for about an hour, maybe about 7am? I dunno, it depends on how much I drink tomorrow night. LOL

I was *there* and I'm getting blue balls over these race reports. I feel like
But I know I need to be more like
I have not swum this week. Couldn't find enough pool time. My choices were: 1 hour swim (not worth it, IMO) in a cool-water pool or 2-hour swim in a warm-water pool (BLECH). So I went with no swim. LOL. I'll swim in the Chesapeake Bay on Saturday so it'll be all good.

Report. My dog is mouthy, especially if you pull her ears, and I don't *think* she'd ever actually bite someone, but I'd fully expect that if she left a mark like that, unprovoked, on a child that it would be reported.
As an owner, hell, as a responsible human, I say do it.

Could you maybe split it in the crotchal area (LOL, is crotchal a word? I know there's an actual word I'm looking for here...) and add a little more fabric there as a gusset, where it won't be obvious? Here's a link that might help: fashion-incubator.com/adding-a-gusset-to-pants-pt1/

Spectating IMLou was no joke. I'm exhausted and I have blisters, lol. That said, meeting taratru and al320 was freaking AWESOME and it was so great to see ktzmoh, emilyj, and @vtcupcake again and meet their respective Hs.
In other randoms, I'm trying to figure out where I can swim this week and I can't find anywhere that can accommodate a 2 hour workout where the pool temperature is under 80 degrees. UGH.

I am so proud of you. Your determination and attitude has been absolutely astonishing. Way to go, my friend. I'm proud to have been there and shared even a tiny bit of your day.

I like the look as is.
If you want to try something different, what about a light to dark spiral? Start with the lightest square where the sort of brightish yellow one is, then spiral around, ending with that dark blue in the upper left.

Has anything sold in your building that was fully updated? My guess is that they be looking to do more than the 80k level if they're flipping it.
ETA: I responded before I finished reading. If they're Realtors, they shouldn't be asking you to name your price. Put it back on them to make an offer. I'd say "I appreciate that you are willing to purchase sight unseen, but I'd rather not set the price myself. I'd like to see your highest and best offer."
It's a business deal for them, not a personal thing. If they want it, they'll give you a competitive offer. (Also, chances are they know or can guess what you owe, so they'll take that into account.)
so.... mrs.jacinthe and al320 should we rent bikes Sunday? I found a couple of places...it'll be awesome for the run. It's a super friendly course if we can get around quickly.
OMG, I don't know if I can keep up with you two on a bike. In fact, I'm 200% positive I can't.
