Go Froggie!
Lunenburg is gorgeous!! I think this is a great idea!I got a brilliant or crazy idea. Maybe both. I have some remaining vacation days coming up. I'll have August 28-31 off.
I'm thinking of doing a biking trip from Halifax to Lunenburg. Google Maps says is takes about 6 hours to get there via the biking trails.
I could leave early Saturday (28th) and probably be there by early afternoon. I'd pace myself, stop at places along the way and "refuel." Then spend Sunday/Monday in Lunenburg, do some touristy things (I like doing touristy things), and bike back Tuesday.
I've never done a big ride like this before, but I feel I'm in shape enough for the task. It's too bad I don't know anyone who could join me. I don't really know any cyclists in my area. If I was in a relationship, it's the kind of thing I'd love for someone to join me on.
This is all weather pending, of course. We've seen a lot of rain this season.
Still, the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it'd be fun. I've never been to Lunenburg, so it might be a lot of fun.
And since I wrote this out on Facebook, I booked a room at the Wheelhouse Motel. So looks like it's game on for this crazy idea.
You're probably right-handed. I mean, balance of probabilities, most people are. But! Did you know that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, but the left side of your face? And vice versa. The nerves 'cross over' in your neck. So typically people with better motor control in their right hand have more control of the left side of their face.I can raise my left eyebrow, or both eyebrows, but not the right eyebrow by itself.
I can wiggle my right ear, or both ears, but not the left ear by itself.
The things you discover while waiting for a university networking department to get off their ass and finish their job.
I can SORT of wiggle it by itself, because by "wiggle" what I mean is I can tense the muscles at the back of my head which raises the ear (and also pulls my hairline back a good half inch).... so what I can do, is I can "wiggle" an ear by tensing and relaxing those muscles. I can tense JUST the right hand muscles, or both left and right... so to "wiggle" just my left ear, I tense BOTH, then relax-and-re-tense the left one. But it's exhausting and sometimes makes my neck hurt.You're probably right-handed. I mean, balance of probabilities, most people are. But!

Doesn't explain your ear, though. Also if you're left-handed it doesn't explain anything.
I spent ages trying to raise my right eyebrow as much as my left, and I am okay at it now, but the amount of concentration makes me look I'm having a really difficult poo.I can SORT of wiggle it by itself, because by "wiggle" what I mean is I can tense the muscles at the back of my head which raises the ear (and also pulls my hairline back a good half inch).... so what I can do, is I can "wiggle" an ear by tensing and relaxing those muscles.

Oh, but yeah, I am right handed.
And I can kind of "pretend" to raise just my right eyebrow by sending the "raise both eyebrows" impulse and then, for lack of a better description, sending a stronger "squint my left eye" signal which overpowers the "raise both eyebrows" signal in my left eyebrow, thus technically moving my right eyebrow higher than my left but also making me look like I just got poked in the balls.
So you can wiggle it, just a little bit?I can SORT of wiggle it by itself, ...
Reflective surfaces, mainly. Plus I possess preternatural peripheral vision.Do you have a sixth sense for that? Does it come with experience?
Yeah, that's what i use for watching butts, too....Reflective surfaces, mainly. Plus I possess preternatural peripheral vision.

I would happily donate to a crowdfunding campaign for ass implants to give you a Kardashian booty so you can experience people checking out your butt.Quick question to the ladies of the forum and possibly some of the guys: How often can you tell when someone's checking out your butt? Do you have a sixth sense for that? Does it come with experience? Or are you generally blissfully unaware that people are looking at your tushy?
I ask because as far as I know no one's ever checked out my butt so I have no frame of reference.
Eh, this is less strange than other stuff they've done. Like @Tinwhistler said, they just made some cuts and folded over bits of a normal pizza.You popularize the Hot N Ready pizza and suddenly you think you can do no wrong. Your hubris is your undoing.
I'll make you healthy pizza.I miss pizza.
healthy pizza.
My walnuts and prunes pizza was very healthy.I'll make you healthy pizza.
Hush, you. It can be done and be very tasty too.
You hush and put yourself in the corner.My walnuts and prunes pizza was very healthy.
I believe this is called stromboli.We are but one scant step removed from loaves of piping hot pepperoni and cheese.

Oh, it is, and they are delicious,I believe this is called stromboli.
I second this. It's all about ingredients. I have a recipe for Heart-Healthy Chili, and while the chili purests in this forum would object (don't @ me), my husband and son love it when it make it. It is really yummy.Hush, you. It can be done and be very tasty too.
