Hahaha the only person who looks over my shoulder at work while I might be on MetaFilter is a peer who asks me to find things in our old data management system because I'm the only one who knows how to find things there. I think IT just noticed something weird on a day when there was less traffic.

Wow, I have a beach towel from there, never thought I'd see it mentioned in a skeet!

My work just decided to block MetaFilter today... while I was literally reading about something work-related there. Probably nothing I can do about it though since I also read non-work-related things there from time to time.

I got some pad thai earlier this week that did come with a lime wedge but the wedge was so dried up that I couldn't actually squeeze out any juice.

Sigh... nopales don't taste like okra, they taste like sour green beans! I don't understand the comparison with the former... slime is not a flavor (saying this as a person who thinks nopales are okay, likes okra, and loves green beans)!

I'm so glad that I had a relative's place to evacuate to when I needed to (I lived in Galveston during Hurricane Ike, and evacuated to Central TX).
