This Christmas. don't thank me, thank Kathryn3.

Sorry guys but this is inaccurate and has now spread all over the Net. It should be retracted. This lunar eclipse 456 years ago was on Dec 09 1554 and was not anywhere near as close to the Solstice as the Lunar eclipses of 1638 and 1703. To check this out go to NASA's 5000 year catalogue of Eclipses.

This is classic misinformation that often occurs when the planet Mercury appears (from our viewpoint on Earth) to be travelling in retrograde motion.

Kudos for the gentle opening and the added context of the second paragraph. She's a sweet gal and a hell of a good cook too.

If you seek to distinguish random from arbitrary why look no further

Who is @NotEricForman?

I don't know, but I wouldn't think it's Eric Forman

This is a great question

I like to think that all of us, in our own special ways, are not Eric Forman. Unless you are Eric Forman, in which case I'd like you to identify yourself so we may alert the proper authorities.

I just farted and it made an odd squeaky sound. Perfectly dry though.

so now lowe's on facebook has adopted the aloof/tangential/absurd form of advertising copywriting as popularized by w00t.

Remember when all good cultured and sensitive little boys and girls were supposed to learn sign language?

Actually I'm contemplating that. My cousin has a son born totally deaf, and it's awkward just waving and mouthing "hi" to him at events. After 30 years, I finally can communicate with him on FB, but I've been thinking of learning sign language so as to include him "in the crowd" a little more...

I do not remember that.

I met Omar Epps after a Roots concert at Dickinson; we had so much in common it was uncanny

Arbitrary? Your words I'll forget but the tone... that's going to leave a scar.

For all we know it's been a tough year at the observatory. Maybe there were no bonuses. Maybe she was slipping into something stylish and black for the '2010 Satisfactory Audit' party when this misinformation came across her iPhone. Maybe she paused between thoughts about how she's not taken seriously in a man's world to set the record straight on astronomical events.

WE DON'T KNOW!

But while a factually accurate 'Net has never put an ounce of money in my pocket, I say it has done me good and it will do me good. And I say Gaia Bless K3!

FlightRisk no, intentional scarring no! There's been some mistake, there now

you all have your seasonal pleasures, & now I have mine

this guy commits fraud with the SNAP program, writes two columns about it, calls it an 'investigation', and then belittles my current job, basically insinuating i'm shuffling people through and signing up people that shouldn't be eligible. plus, we seem too happy at work! you know, my previous job at your local gubmit handout center was looking for potential fraud. you fit the bill because you did it. income from your father counts as income. you were likely given deductions which you shouldn't have been because you and your father colluded to defraud the government. thate source of problem is you, not the program itself.

NOTE TO JACKASS: You committed fraud. I really hope someone has reported you. Don't tell me how to do my job. What 'appears' is not relevant.

I thought we were relatively close in age. Watch that Sesame Street thing MrsVox posted in some other thread. It was everywhere for a while there. I think learning Spanish replaced it, and now No Bullying has replaced that.

Ever since I moved offices to one with a window, I can't work nearly as late as I used to.

5 PM feels so late and I'm exhausted by the time 8 PM rolls around. Without a window, I couldn't see that it was dark outside and I could work till 11 no problem.

Now, of course, 1 AM on a Saturday night, in the office, I'm really dragging. Hopefully I can get out of here by 2. All so I can avoid coming in tomorrow...have a nice big Eagles-Giants game to watch tomorrow!
