Sitting here waiting to take my daughter to dinner and a movie. She is just like her mother. If I didn't love her more than life, I'd divorce her too. (joking).

The Bar & Grill isn't as fun anymore. Mac-forums... Fix! This! Bug!

It might be more fun if people brought beer and some food from the grill. I recommend...someone other than me.

And possibly the hardest chairs on earth to get out of. At least the ones I have sat in.
But I agree that they are comfortable to sit in.

Love those Adirondack-style chairs, but you're absolutely right - as long as you don't have to get up and down, they're great ;)

You need a couple of these: http://www.woodchuckers.ca/muskoka_005.jpg

Despite looking uncomfortable, they are quite possibly some of the most comfortable chairs you'll sit in.

I'd have no problems cutting the legs down on my desk to sit in a chair like that at my computer desk. :)

My parents have an amish lawn glider bench; it's so comfortable. It feels like you are rocking on air. It's been awhile, since I've been to amish country, but they make the best wooden lawn chairs.

The Aussie dollar is worth more then the US dollar now. Just felt like saying this.
But yeah the Apple products are still cheaper in the US with this fact. Oh well can't have everything I guess :).

Currencies fluctuate too often for companies to keep up. I remember when the CAD hit parity recently and people were complaining that things were too expensive even though our dollar had been within 5c of the USD for quite some time. Goes to show how people look at the big picture. ;)

No worries. I'm sure the Fed dumping $600 billion in new currency will help the greenback. Borrowing money from yourself to buy securities from yourself always works out well.

Like your avatar man ...

Can't remember how many times I have seen that sight ( with 1 eye ) during service .

So it's been snowing for the last 2 days. Now we have 19cm of fresh snow lying on the ground and it's still coming down. Winter is here, how I miss summer already.

You can ship it to me if you want. Warmth is the bane of my existence.
