Posted this on the other thread before I realized you all left. I'm bragging about my day

I got to go inside the Orbiter Discovery today. There is no "door" into the cockpit (called the forward bay). You wear a bunny suit (reminding me of my silicon valley days) and crawl thru hatches. Pretty awesome experience. It’s currently in it’s hangar, getting ready to roll out to the launchpad in January. It was a good day. Didn’t hurt that I got to spend about 45 mins chatting with the hottest looking guy on the Orion program. Yes, a very good day.

I LOVE those sandwiches.

I usually put a little butter on the bagel and broil it for a minute or so, just to warm it up. Then you put on the ham and cheese and stick it back in the broiler until the cheese melts.

Add lettuce, tomato, and Creamy Italian dressing.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it if high heels rained from the sky.

First of all, it would be painful, because one of those heels is bound to hit you in the head and knock you out so you wouldn’t be conscious and able to enjoy the shoes anyway. Second, it would be impossible to find a matching pair, and third, they would probably all be in sizes 5 and 6, because the good shoes never come in the bigger sizes. Not that I’m bitter. (I don’t have big feet, I’m just tall! Leave me alone.)

And yes, I just spent way too much time analyzing a nonsensical commercial.

Have tried looking for contemporary men’s fashion in my size? It’s impossible. Mediums are too large, and nobody carries small anymore (although they hav XXXXXXL). No one carries collars smaller than 16. No one has waists smaller than 30. No one has lengths shorter than 30. What the hell?
