    Well I hang out with Aria and Dr S, don't I? I've picked up some skills in the last 9 months. I have an excel sheet complete with indexed comic book numbers and titles, just so that I can track which ones I have and which I don't. I can share it if you want. :)

    If I may post some feedback here - this is a nice idea but not totally for me actually.
    I would much rather work on my creativity rather than thinking. I think I already think too much (LOL!)

    Aria - Loved it and needed it. I'm super excited now. Thanks.
    Downside - There goes my long run! I spent too much time on FN!!!!! And I woke up at 5 to run but it was raining or about to start raining. So I didn't head out then either. And yesterday I had the little one at home. I should have called the sitter yesterday but I had no mood to run. So I didn't run. My friend Sabi(@srama) is going to be so disappointed in me. She is running HM distances every week for her long runs and I can't even train decently for a HM!

    Please do. I'd love to have a catalog myself. I'm absent minded and I can't remember reading anything lately. I also never remember what I have at home. Also any tips on getting a teen into ack, c&h, TinTin maybe? My Dad got her a ton of ACKs but the girlie hates comics. How can a kid not like comics. Beyond me. I still read Archie's. I just cannot find Archie's. I have lots lying around in the hopes she will eventually get there but nope. And she has "borrowed" my Animal Farm and Mind gym, both of which I had read only one page of. Sigh. She doesn't have my book genes.

    We are hardly 7-8 flickering neurites here and when one compadre jumps off from the face of the planet, it is like the tribe is near extinction..

    Hanging out with Dr S impels creation of the spread sheet.
    Hanging out with A distracts why you still have not upgraded it to Shelfari Shamboo app (chalo na kal karenge, dragging you away)

    No way my friend no way! @Laks09, if anything I am in awe of you!
    I know it is just a matter of time before you bounce back to routine. And all of us are allowed to have "didn't feel like" days! They are actually good for us! I did have those moments this week and so skipped on the mid week run :biggrin2:

    PS: I did wonder about your absence and was about to send you a message

    I've been around. These days even the health forums aren't immune to junky threads. Takes time to clean up :)

    Come over to the fitness forum. There are veterans there. @shanvy will help you overcome whatever is holding you back.

    Sabi - I did get out in the afternoon yesterday. I finished my long run. Today's 5k is doubtful and so is tomorrow's 4 miler. I hope to make the next week count.
    I forgot to log this weeks runs in the thread. I'll do that today.

    I know, those I don't want to days are terrible because it's great outside now and in a month I will be roasting alive outside. I'm determined to make this month hills and terrain and then next month I can step indoors.

    i was reading this forward and suddenly it stuck me ... found one difference (if i may call it so) ...

    know this ain't a puzzle .. but thought wud share ... you ppl sure gonna post "the difference" and laugh ... but still ...

    Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

    John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

    Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

    John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

    Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

    Both their wives lost a child while living in the White House.

    Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

    Both Presidents were shot in the head.


    Now it gets really weird.

    Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

    Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

    Both were assassinated by Southerners.

    Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

    Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

    Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

    John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

    Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

    Both assassins were known by their three names.

    Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

    Now hang on to your seat.

    Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."

    Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."

    Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

    And here's the "kicker":

    A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.

    A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

    AND...................:

    Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...

    Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theatre...

    Simple puzzle. Putting aside our theme just for the day (if we're still doing that).

    Find the common link -

    Will add more clues if this isn't cracked within the hour.

    There is a flimsy common link which I'm sure is wrong!
    All are connected to new & clear ideas!
