Of Course I Am

You Are a Child of the 1970s

You were given a lot of freedom growing up, and you wouldn't change that for the world. You loved playing outside with your friends. You learned from your childhood that even if times are tough, you still have to keep going. Worrying doesn't solve anything. You were self-reliant from an early age, and you still are very independent today. Your parents didn't have the time or money to coddle you. TV may have been your babysitter, but you turned out okay. At least you know how to cook without needing a microwave!

I saw that quote earlier and it reminded me of this post; I did a quick search and found it and this and several other posts came up in the results.  I hadn't realized there were so many "pee+movies" posts...just goes to show you the basic substance of this blog.

I checked the site and it looks like they've done away with their listings on their site, instead going to apps for phones and PC.

I bet everyone has had this problem; you're at a movie you've been wanting to see for a long time and thanks to the tanker car-sized drink you bought to wash down your popcorn, you find yourself needing to go pee.

Before you go to the movie and then have to" go", go to the website RunPee.com. Find the movie you're going to go see and they'll tell you the best time in the movie to make your pee run, missing only those scenes that are not integral to the storyline. They'll be quite specific, giving you the time and a description of the scene that will be your cue to head for the potty.

A nifty feature of the site is how they won't reveal any "spoilers", instead scrambling the part you missed; click a button to reveal a short synopsis of the scenes that are going on while you'll be gone.

It's a new website, so not all movies are indexed, but they do have a decent listing of older movies...although, if you've rented the vid, you could just hit the "Pause" button, couldn't you?

Honey Bee Cam

KU Honey Bee Cam

One out of three bites of food, or one-third of our diet, is linked to the direct work of the honey bee, which makes it imperative that we find out what has been causing a collapse in honeybee colonies. Research now points to a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids being responsible.

TV's Greatest Catchphrases

I'll have to admit I wasn't familiar with all of these - mainly because I've never seen many of the shows.  I also knew some of the catchphrases even though I hadn't seen the series, but they've entered the pop culture zeitgeist.
