'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Amy, have you tried a big adult hoop? Much, much easier than the kid ones. The bigger and heavier, the easier, generally.
msbelle, that could be a cool thing for Mac to get into. Active, creative, etc.
Hey, hivemind, is there a standard for formatting numbers in a document? Something like, under 100 you spell it out; over, you use digits? It's for my resume.
AP style is any number over 10 gets a numeral, but Chicago style (for longer books) is any word UNDER 100 is spelled out.
For a resume I'm not sure, but just make it consistent.
What are the numbers? Something like "Supervised fifteen people"? I'd probably spell it out, to look more professional, but I agree that it's most important that it be consistent.
I think I'll go with under 100, spell it out. Thanks!!
Now I want a hula hoop!!
My old coworker got one of those "health" hula hoops one time (it's weighted, I guess), and I tried it out for a second, and loved it. I should get one. Too bad I left NYC, because I probably could have gotten her to give it to me after she realized she never uses it....
Java, you should totally get one. My friend C. uses one, and they are awesome. Great exercise, too!
ETA: Thanks so much for the swimming info, Kathy. I have to admit that in addition to the big "pool is broken" sign, I was a bit intimidated by the swimming itself. It's just a two-lane lap pool, and I have no idea how to share lanes. I did finally buy goggles, at least.
I finally called my doc to have her check out my shoulder. It has been bothering me on and off for at least 2 months with the painful times becoming increasingly more unbearable. I see her Friday. Watch, by then the current flare up will have subsided.
Sharing lanes is easy, Pix! All you have to do is stay on one side of the lane if you're with one other person. (My wrist gets bruised because I'm always whacking it on the lane marker, though.) If there's three or more people, then it gets more complicated. I hate circle swimming, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. The worst part of circle swimming for me is that everyone is swimming at a different pace, so people pass you and then I feel guilty about holding them up, so I wait at the end of the pool and let them go ahead, which throws off my pacing.
Goggles are a definite requirement. I've got to get back to using the swim cap that I really hate and which does nothing to keep the water off of my hair. But, it's supposed to protect the color more than swimming without one, so I'll have to put it on again.
