Upon signing in for my appointment,
Front desk lady: Oh what a cute bag!
Me: (very pleased) Why thank you!
Front desk lady is about to hand me a new patient form clipboard,
Me: I actually filled out the paperwork already…
I whip a file folder out of my purse and hand over the appropriate paperwork.
Front desk lady: (shrieking with delight) OH, and she has it in a folder too!

Have You Seen This Yet?
Every time I try to forward my dear friend Maori a cool link I think she’d appreciate, she has already seen it. It’s become a personal goal of mine to see something cool on the internet before she has.
Jennifer: ok, here’s where we play the game “have you seen this yet?” (BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning - Photographer) Maori: i have Jennifer: DAMN IT!...

Restaurant Websites Suck
Why are restaurant websites stuck in the 90’s/early 00’s and think that playing obnoxious looping music is still ok? (Not to mention the crappy flash intros.)
Was wondering who kept playing that annoying violin flourish over and over again for 20 minutes. Finally realized it was my own computer’s headphones. Gah!

As someone who always orders the smallest drink size because I find anything more completely unneccessary, I find this idea utterly repellant.

Since I don’t talk as frequently on my phone as most other people seem to, and use it to browse the internet far more often, I’ll stick with AT&T’s faster 3G network, thanks.

How an 11-Year Old Girl Convinced Lincoln to Grow... →
theatlantic:
In what has to go down as one of the all-time great moments of political image consulting, an 11-year old girl suggested to a fresh-faced Abe Lincoln that he grow a beard. And then he did. The website Letters of Note even has copies of the girl’s letter and Lincoln’s response. Beyond being the cutest historical footnote of all time, Ms. Grace Bedell, had some solid reasoning...

Conversational Terrorism: How NOT to Talk! →
Good review of terrible tactics employed in discussions- important to be aware of when they happen to you so you can point out how the attacker is arguing unfairly, and also important to be aware of so you don’t use them yourself! (I’m guilty of a couple…)

I found this to be a very good point:
“But as Henry Jenkins, professor of media studies at MIT explains, we come from a society of small towns. Gossip is how we share information. Gossip is not really about famous people, but a tool to have conversation about the values and struggles we all deal with.”

This a great website with photos of REAL women’s NATURAL breasts, presented in a non-sexual way! It’s kind of sad how porn breasts are the only things most women (and men) can compare the real things against. No wonder so many young girls want boob jobs, they’ve never realized how normal they are! I found this greatly educational, and I think everyone should take a look and...

And this is why I always try the weirdest sounding thing on the menu… if the chef had the balls to put it on there despite it sounding weird, then it must be good!! This is how I discovered my favorite sandwich at Il Bambino, Prosciutto and Gorgonzola Dolce with Fig Spread.
