NeuroGirl, I live in a tiny town in the sticks, and all those things are less than a ten-minute drive. I'd really like to live somewhere where they are all a ten minute WALK!
The problem with adults playing on most playground equipment is the size. I'll never forget the time I was trying to show my two-year-old how to use a slide. I sat down at the top, really to slide down and... I couldn't move because my butt was wedged in tightly. The neighbors had a field day with that.
Congratulations on the milestone, Alex! I am Miss C, and I am a full=time blogger. I have two sites and work for three more (mental_floss, YesButNoButYes, and Neatorama), but I was a radio disc jockey for 24 years prior. I am a widow with two daughters, a ten-year-old from China and a nine-year-old from India. We live in a small town in eastern Kentucky. I didn't know Neatorama was a new blog when I started reading it, but I became an addict when Petunia died and Alex posted such a nice tribute. Here's a paraphrasing on how he hired me:
Alex: You wanna be an author on Neatorama? Me: I don't know, I just started with YBNBY, I might not have the time. Alex: Great! I'll set you up an account; you can start anytime.
I wish I could help you. I clicked on "start now", and I was able to click and drag dots around immediately. There may be some required software update, but I don't know what it would be.
I translated some information from the home page at this vendor, and they say their food is freeze-dried. You add water and wait for it to reconstitute. Now, I don't know if this specifically applies to the cheeseburger, but it kind of makes me wish I hadn't translated it.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
Alex: You wanna be an author on Neatorama?
Me: I don't know, I just started with YBNBY, I might not have the time.
Alex: Great! I'll set you up an account; you can start anytime.
I guess it worked out.
