lxy i have already made my drink while waiting for this page to load. i used about 1/6 of a lime because i have a strange way of cutting limes. i measured approximately a shot with mine eyes. i used 5 cubes. i am drinking out of the same mason jar as always (belongs to real tenant). probably more seltzer than necessary but i really like seltzer. tasty drink.
i probably typed this about 15 min before it gets posted! i can't wait to have my own internet

― jergins, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:31 (fourteen years ago) link
i never call it "club soda"i thought it was the same thing as seltzer?

glad you are liking the drink
we may have found the common denominator for the sandbox: mason jars
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:09 (fourteen years ago) link
i have lobbied for butts, then baseball. mason jars probly make the most sense though
― jergins, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:11 (fourteen years ago) link
they're perfect!

harbl, does passing the bar in your state mean you can practice in other states as well?
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:25 (fourteen years ago) link
was wondering this
― jergins, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:30 (fourteen years ago) link
it's complicated. passing, in itself, doesn't even mean i can practice in maryland because i have to also pass the character and fitness stuff (i will) and then get sworn in to be admitted. so the exam is not enough, it's just the hardest part. then each state has its own way of deciding who gets to practice. some states will accept any other state's bar exam and then do their own little character and fitness thing, then others will let you in if you've been practicing for a few years in another state (might have to take a small state-specific exam for some of them), and others won't let you in at all until you pass their particular exam. you can transfer your multistate exam score to other states though. washington, dc lets you in if your multistate score is high enough but it costs like $600 or something. if i ever work in dc it will probably be for the federal government so i don't have to be admitted there, you can take any bar you want to work for them.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:35 (fourteen years ago) link
also another fun fact is that all states except maryland and washington require the multistate professional responsibility exam but fortunately i chose one of the two states that is not ethical. but that topic was on our normal bar exam, so they do care a little. if i moved states i might need to take that too.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:39 (fourteen years ago) link
unless you move here, right?
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:45 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe the whole sandbox should move to washington.

this thread has reminded me to track down proper mason jars in australia, which i just have, but the question is before i order some, are regular or wide mouth mason jars best for drinking out of, because i forget what f.'s mom uses but i always drink out of them when i am at her house. supposedly wide mouth jars say wide mouth on the side of them but i wasn't observant enough (because i never am) to notice whether hers did or not. help me sandbox and you will be helping f. for he loves them also, we had an effusive discussion of praise about them sitting at his mom's table.
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, wide mouth for sure, i got rid of all the other kind in my house
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:51 (fourteen years ago) link
i can't believe lxy has never gone off on the sandbox about my love for mason jars
― jergins, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah they're so great. i don't really believe in having nice glasses or china or anything, it's all about utility and mason jars provide just what you need, while also being very attractive
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:54 (fourteen years ago) link
i hate nearly all nice glasses and china, i hate fussy and prissy objects, mason jars are sturdy and satisfying and beautiful.
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 03:04 (fourteen years ago) link
i have a beautiful set of china that i got from my grandparents, german, 1960. simple, sleek, wonderful. otherwise, china sucks.
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 03:14 (fourteen years ago) link
xp jergins i can't believe YOU'VE never gone off about!

lol, i had a dream last night that harbl posted in a tone of largesse that she had gone to a bar to celebrate finishing her exams and had bought a bunch of drinks for everyone, she said, i bought 15 drinks, and then she listed them all, and then she said, well to be honest i drank 12 of them myself.
― estela, Friday, 31 July 2009 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link

really harbs you don't get why kevin k would be banned from IRE?
― jergins, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:32 (fourteen years ago) link
no i can't remember at all. i can think of some other people who i would like to be banned from IRE but he's harmless isn't he??
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:35 (fourteen years ago) link
he's a shit stirrer but i don't remember why he was banned?
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:39 (fourteen years ago) link
there was no event that precipitated his banning
― jergins, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:40 (fourteen years ago) link
good that's how it should be i withdraw my previous questions
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link
lolawyer^
― jergins, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 01:46 (fourteen years ago) link
are there some other people we could ban for no reason? now that the precedent is there.
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:04 (fourteen years ago) link
let's make a list!
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:06 (fourteen years ago) link

― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i feel like as a mod this would open my future bannings up to a lot of scrutiny and board lolyering.
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:10 (fourteen years ago) link
; )
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:13 (fourteen years ago) link
as if previous bannings were not scrutinized enough! ;)
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:13 (fourteen years ago) link
hey guys there was a reason, just not an event
