clickies brought to you today by [livejournal.com profile] joe_pike_junior, who is a relatively new and excellent friend, [livejournal.com profile] deelaundry, without whom I would probably not be writing nearly as much fic (one could say she 'discovered' me. <3) and [livejournal.com profile] miintikwa, who does fantastic tarot readings should you want to indulge (and is marvelous besides).

teeth found in wallet in wal-mart.

woman calls police 500 times over Seattle nightclub. apparently she's met one of [livejournal.com profile] hithah's neighbors.

antarctic picture galleries. i linked to two specific ones last night regarding airplanes, but the larger set is amazing - lots of penguins, seals, sled dogs, amazing weather photos (this might interest [livejournal.com profile] quasigeostrophy in particular), clouds, ice, etc. really amazing stuff.

woman calls 911 three times when mcnuggets run out.

man runs seven marathons on seven continents in six days. this is absolutely astounding. and he did it all for charity. just - wow.

most britons have lied about the books they've read. this is probably universal, i expect. :-)

the honorable will eat you. interesting post about trust and how it pays to be cautious.

feeling much, much better than yesterday. not entirely sure what was up with that. bah. looking to do something at least reasonably interesting today, especially since my pain levels are better and i managed to get some sleep, but am not sure what at the moment. I should make a list of museum exhibits that I want to see; I've always enjoyed that sort of thing, and I'm sure it'll be a nice bonus now that I'm able to use the chair. I know a lot of them have 'donate what you can' days. I'm going to take a bit of a writing holiday for a while because it's not coming as easily as it was. I hope it'll help. If anyone local has any suggestions I'm definitely interested.

I hope all of you are doing well. <3

They're out of Mcnuggets! Oh My God what will we do?!

I guess some people have a different sense of priority.

actually, it wasn't that they were out of McNuggets. It was that they took her money for them, then came back and said that they were out and wouldn't refund the money.

Calling 911 was wrong. But McDonald's refusing to refund money "because all sales are final" is wrong too. Refusing to refund after the product has been handed to the customer, yeah. But taking the money at the counter, then coming back and saying "oh, we're out of that" and *only* offering a substitition rather than a refund is not only out of line it's likely illegal.

What I found hilarious about it was when she said they were trying to give her a McDouble (which we don't have in Maccas restaurants here). She really didn't want one of those. Doesn't it all taste the same, anyway?

Hello, clickies post. Pleesetermeetcher.

WOW...that man who ran the marathons. That's INCREDIBLE. The resilience and energy of the human body astounds me. And doing that all for charity? That is a guy with a heart and dedication. I love him!

I'm so glad you're feeling better & less pain-dominated ♥
