Or fortnightly, because I like the word fortnightly.
I was going to go for a month because I didn't want to crowd everybody but I think fortnightly could work. As long as the day itself floats from event to event so as to accommodate different schedules.
On a practical, personal level I think it would probably be a good practice for anybody to do weekly.
But in the group dynamic I think it'll have more effectiveness if it's spread out a bit. I just suspect that if it's a duty then it'll be easier to elide over.
It'd be kind of cool to have a random date generator within certain parameters. Like the next one could be in two weeks...or three and a half weeks. We don't know! Skinner says that irregular schedules (of reinforcement) are the hardest to break. Math people - to your algorithms.
I initiated it primarily because I know I'm avoidy and can let things drift. But I also know it's a Buffista trait so I'm glad to have so many people in on it.
Suzi, it sounds like your display will be lovely.
I can's have candles at work
Just a thought, Target (and many other places, now) sells wax "candles" with flickering LED lights in them, that run on batteries. I have about seven of them, because I like candlelight and worry that my cats are dumb. They look like real candles. The larger ones run on AAA batteries and the votives run on the little button batteries. Some of them even have timers, so your candles can mysteriously light up by themselves.
Oh, oh, oh....great idea Zenkitty. I have also seen them at Hobby Lobby. Will need to check them out.
Hey, for those of you with GPS in your car, what brand do you have? Do you like it?
I've had my Garmin nüvi 260W for almost two years now, and I still like it a lot. I loaded it up with city maps for Amsterdam, Oslo, London, and Paris for my trip this summer, and it worked out really well.
Man, bon, your phone has fierce battery life. I could use it for an hour long call and leave it off the cradle 24 hours and it was still rearing to go. Definitely better than what I've become used to. But I need speaker phone.
Maybe tomorrow's onery will be to brave Fry's for a phone with what I need, but with this kind of battery life.
hmpf. My new Blackberry is supposed to have 3 days of standby battery power, but the battery doesn't even last me one day. I have yet to find a cellphone that doesn't lose battery power three times as fast as it's supposed to.
Allyson, at Once Upon a Time?
My horn is growing. I do think I am a unicorn. This sucks.
Watch: [link] Sorry for the crazy washed out first 4 seconds. But ohmigod. She's walking. Outside. On her ownish. Holy shit.
Also, we've learned that all of those irritating noise making toys that we thought she liked because they light up (and for her it's randomly). Um. She knows her letters. And her shapes. There's a person in there. If only she could communicate out better.
I spent the evening in Urgent Care with Noah. A little kid stole his cheese and then hit me. I looked around and said, "Um. Could whoever belongs to this kid control him?" And my forehead hurts.
