Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-11-09
- Nuts. Aidan's flu turned into Aidan's and Quinlan's and Gwen's cold. I've got tickle in my throat too. More cowbell won't cure this fever. #
- Last night on Left Coast Floyds: Happy Hallowe'en http://bit.ly/1blgbb #
- Hey, look! @slvrlambstudios is one of Vancouver's 50 Essential Portrait Photographers! http://ow.ly/yDLD [and Twitter addict to boot] #
- Starting off Bike to Work Week … sick at home with the rest of the sick family. #
- Just got a call from A's preschool. Closed till Friday due to multiple confirmed cases of H1N1. He didn't go today either. #
- I'm pretty sure what we have is just a communal cold, but it seems to me that the H1N1 vaccine roll-out is happening too late for the kids. #
- Tired of waiting for Vancouver Tweetup to approve an event (4 days waiting) I've taken matters into my own hands (see next tweet) #
- Greater Vancouver Twitter Parents Meetup I: http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 Vancouver Aquarium, Saturday 10am. #GVTPM1 #
- Thanks for the RTs @GillianShaw @hummingbird604 @karenhamilton YVR Parents Meetup http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 #
- Thanks for more RTs! @alexishinde @klipbook @stv @bobsandlolo @tjrossignol YVR Parents Meetup http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 Join us, won't you? #
- Uh … the 4 yr old just fell asleep while sprolled on my lap. 1 minute he was arguing about lunch, then … quiet. Can you say "sick"? #
- http://twitpic.com/o6kku – Somehow, despite being sick, Aidan has managed to build + maintain THIS #
- And no, that's not Aidan, that's Quinlan playing Demolition Man. Actually Q's pretty good with it! #
- Thanks for more RTs! @earnestgirl @nicole013 YVR Parents Meetup http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 Join us, won't you? #
- Made it to work for the first time this week. And, oh, @cityofvancouver? Thanks for the 2 detours on the bike route during #BTWW #
- The Flames. The Abby Heat. Now @hosea24hours reports the BC Lions will be getting H1N1 shots. Why do athletes come b4 "high risk" groups?!? #
- Screw'em! Some kid doesn't get vaccinated b/c some overpaid meathead with connections and $$$ does!?! #QueueJumpersSuck #H1N1 #
- Vancouver (and area) parents! Want to join some other Tweeps at the aquarium this weekend? http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 #GVTPM #
- Dear potential followers: No @'s on your current Twitter page? There's no way I'm gonna follow you. It's a 2 way street you know. #
- .@VanArchives I think your account has been compromised. Got some DM spam from you. #
- Getting DM spam from someone? Bad. Getting DM spam from someone not following you? #Unfollow! #
- Crazy warm ride to work today, and managed to (mostly) ride between the rain drops! #BTWW #
- The list of hockey teams who queue-jumped the H1N1 vaccine grows: CB Screaming Eagles. Moncton Wildcats. Calgary Flames. Abby Heat #H1N1 #
- Nice to know that when the End-of-Days virus comes around, hockey players will be around to rebuild society. #H1N1 #QueueJumpersSuck #
- RT @604homesguy: BMW crushes a Hyundai and Hyundai gives the guy a new car http://bit.ly/1QUFqZ #
- Ho-lee crap. Top 5 craziest ride every. You all are pretty f'n crazy tonight. #
- PSA: I've got lights front, back, and both wheels. Refl tape on booties, legs, arms, torso + helmet. Don't notice me? Shouldn't be driving! #
- I know it's raining. And dark. That should give you MORE reason to look to see what's coming at you. Such stupidity is depressing. #
- In other news, cool! I made the retweet beta! #
- http://twitpic.com/ofq8v – For those curious, here's the RT beta info box #
- A bunch of Twittering Vancouver-area parents are going to the aquarium on Saturday. Care to join us? RSVP: http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 #
- So using Twitter's new built-in retweet functionality doesn't allow you to edit the Tweets. Problem if Tweet is too long for RT! #
- Also, how can we add editorial comments to RT's if we can't edit them? I think this will be a little-used "feature" #
- So now that the big 3 mobile carriers in Canada have the iPhone, where's the site that compares the rates? #
- RT @ShireenJ: Canadian carriers selling iPhone are the tech equivalent of gas stations selling gas at same price. #
- Rocking out to El Tango De Roxanne. Quietly. In my cube. On my kneeling chair. #
- Last chance to RSVP! Join some Twittering parents at the Vancouver Aquarium tomorrow: http://bit.ly/3IJQb4 #
- Q is v congested. Currently sleeping in his toddler chair; upright at least keeps the airway mostly clear. Can we leave him there all nt? #
- And we're all up. Well, G is back to bed after having managed Q's sleeping in the chair. At least his congestion is reduced… #
- Back from the aquarium. First time visitor. I suspect it won't be the last. Nice to meet @alexishinde, The Imp, and Rob! #
- For sale, one toddler turned banshee. Slightly used. #
- Also note that said banshee also has monkey-like climbing ability #
- 4.5 yr old just made meatballs w/ me. He's usually v sensitive to squishy things, but made them like pro! Future culinary servitude pending. #
- Whew. @LeftCoastMama disappeared hours ago to go shopping, and I remembered that I was responsible for cooking supper before was too late! #
- I don't usually make those saving rolls vs marital responsibility. :p #
- Any WP experts out there know how to manually upload images but then get WP to import those images into its Media Library? #
- Some nights it seems the 9 O'Clock Gun rattles the windows. Tonight was more of a whimper. Another Vancouverite succumbs to H1N1 #
