• Been opening bills and hope I never set foot in UNC Hospitals again for the rest of my life. Or until their Drs & my insurance improve. #
• I can haz clementines! #
• UNC beats NC state 93-76. Mike Copeland costing us some major cool points at the end, tho. Lame. #basketball #
• @svetter The service is always crappy at Milltown. I can count on having a bad time nearly every visit. The Station is far superior. #

• @nancyscola I think it depends on what app you use to read Twitter, no? Here’s a test: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com #
• @nancyscola Tthe http://www. is not sufficient for Thwirl to recognize a clickable URL, it seems. #
• @BrianR Seems like the latter. Bad karma, @carrboro. #
• Just had another hereletmegooglethatforyou moment. Someone asked how to tell who has edited our WIkipedia page. #

• To the landscaping company that decided 7:45 am was a good time to fire up the leaf blowers outside our window: fuck you, too. #
• @Chad_A_Johnston Cam Hill tried to pass a law limiting gas-powered blowers in Chapel Hill but everyone laughed. But he was right. #
• Was all ready to blame leaf blowers for everything shitty today. Nutritionist sez I can blame them for my high glucose, too! #
• Nutritionist also sez I should eat MORE, esp more fat! Where can I get some whole wheat donuts? #
• @msfour Mmm, milkshakes are a good idea. I think I’ll go to Elmo’s soon… #
• Hey. My Gmail (for domains) interface just changed before my eyes! But I still don’t have themes. & Goog Cal gadget hasn’t worked for days. #
• Rtwt @nerdette: RT @advodude: A Black woman earns $.67 for every $1 a white man earns, while her Hispanic sister earns only $.56. #fairpay #

• @asmartbear It’s like a blog entry with a permalink. You can still unpublish it and break links to it. But it’s hard to delete Tweets now. #
• @asmartbear Dunno, I never shop at iTunes (as a rule). Didn’t even think to look there… #
• Retweeting @andrew_dunn: #Blagojevich impeached 40-0. #

• @nancyscola I think it’s against that rule called “good taste.” #
• Just got lectured by postman for not checking my mailbox often enough. Then I delivered another misdirected-by-him letter to my neighbor. #
• Scroll to the bottom of Errol Morris’ NYT blog to see some amazing pictures of a very sad Bush after his final press conf: http://is.gd/heu9 #
• @ayse I actually thought the blog entry itself was just OK – not particularly revelatory. But I had never seen Sad Bush! #
• Retweeting @FORpeace: Iranians for Peace address President Obama… http://tinyurl.com/cez44g #

• @ayse I know! It’s as if I lived smack dab in the center of Chapel Hill or something. #
• @susanmernit Why not subscribe to Google from Outlook (via IMAP & ICAL) and then sync B’berry & Outloook? #
• @kanter, I just want to say that you are full of win and good karma. That’s all. 🙂 #
• Watching the last seconds of Wake v. Duke (VERY CLOSE) while UNC starts very slowly against FSU on TV. #

• Halftime: UNC 46 – FSU 35. Thanks for Danny Green & Ed Davis & Wayne Ellington. Hansbrough can stay on the bench with his fouls. #basketball #

• @ggreeneva Yeah, well I don’t like him either. Juan Williams can #suckit. #
• Bummed to be missing both She’s Geeky and Fem 2.0 conferences this month. But I am busy doing the one thing only women can do… #
• @marshallk Hey did you get married already? If so, congrats! I knew you were engaged… #
• @msfour Uh yeah. “Man” isn’t a very good word for someone with a functioning (and in-use) uterus. Labels fail us again. #
• I think about 25% of my e-mail inbox would be eliminated if people would learn to ask Teh F-ing Google before asking me. #
• @SethJacobson Not in a delivery room right now, but I hope to be in about 2 months. Whether or not I tweet it, @BrianR probably will. #
• @ayse Bwa ha ha. Perfect. A little too snarky to use at work, unfortunately. #
• @BrianR I don’t imagine Rep. David Price takes a lot of advice from Rep. Virginia Foxx. She doesn’t represent the reality-bsed community. #
• OW. A woman gave birth (by C-section) to EIGHT babies yesterday. They were at 31 weeks gestation, which is how far along I am now. #
• @sonnycloward No, because (for me, at least) Facebook is a more private audience while Twitter is open & public. #

• @silverbell I’ve always hoped my cats would pick up some useful HTML skillz. They’re easily smart enough, but freakin’ lazy. #
• I am loving hand-me-downs. They’re like karma! Thanks for the latest gift, @mistersugar (& Erin, of course)! #
• Went to the gigantor Kids Exchange sale at NC fairgrounds today but were too demoralized by the 2-hour checkout line to buy anything. #
• @trikegirl Not sure, the queue snaked all over the huge building. A friend says it’s usually at least an hour. Next time we bring a posse. #
• Woah. UNC women’s basketball team is blowing my mind with PINK uniforms. Coaches have turned pink ribbon over to make a Y for Yow. ;-( #
• Zoiks! From trailing 2-12, UNC now tied with MD at 34 points at halftime. #women #basketball #
• Very nice haltime special about Kay Yow in ESPN2 right now. #
• Rashanda McCants fouls out and UNC trails MD 65-72. 4:30 left. Technical called on Coach Hatchel!!! WTF??? #

• Happy 36th anniversary of my (limited, diminishing) right to decide what goes on inside my body! Thank you, Roe v. Wade. #
• At the nutritionist who I will pay to tell me to eat better, duh. Radio in the waiting room tuned to some typical morning zoo-type crap. #
• I just paid over $100 to find out I can still eat ice cream. Grrr. #
