   Do you have an rss feed for it?

2. by Shawn Powers, on April 3 2008 @

   

   Huh… I don’t. I’m not even sure how to accomplish such a thing with my little text widget. Sorry…

   Wow, Justin is much cooler than me. Although, he’s similarly humored, so don’t be surprised if you get RickRolled someday with the feed.

   We’d like to have you around for the long term too.

   OK, it’s exactly 8:30 EST, and you have not updated since the 6th. get crackin’, boy.

7. by Shawn Powers, on April 7 2008 @

   

   Thanks John. Both of you. (John the scientists?)

   Also, I have a fever of 102, which stinks. Today, I’m truly a hottie…

   POKE! POKE!

   It’s 8:32!

   Hope you’re not sick today!

9. by Shawn Powers, on April 9 2008 @

   

   Argh! You got me. Thanks again. hehehe

   (I took ‘em, and forgot to update the site)

10. by Random Michelle K, on April 9 2008 @

    

    That is acceptable.

    But as you still forget, you’d best keep updating. After all, we want to keep your wife happy!

    Oh without question. I’ve never in my life taken medicine so regularly. And I don’t take credit for the success, it’s truly due to this silly medicine widget and y’all.

    It’s actually pretty cool, I hear Donna bragging to people that if I forget to take my blood pressure medicine, folks online effectively bawl me out.

    In fact, the other day, I updated the site, and almost forgot to actually follow through and take the pill. Donna threatened to “Tell Michelle” LOL!

    (laugh)

    Good for her! I’ve started telling people I’m a certified woman with a specialization in nagging.

    Maybe after you remember for a month, you can reward yourself with a pill box.

13. by Random Michelle K, on April 10 2008 @

    

    AHEM!

    (tapping foot)

14. by Shawn Powers, on April 10 2008 @

    

    *DOH* I really did forget today. I just called Donna, and she’s bringing it in to me at 10:00.

    …and I was doing SO GOOD.

15. by Random Michelle K, on April 10 2008 @

    

    No cute pill tin for YOU!

16. by Michelle K, on April 12 2008 @

    

    I”m sure you’re just sleeping in on the weekend, but if not. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!

17. by Tania, on April 12 2008 @

    

    Ok, where where you when you took the medicine yesterday? Can you remember what you did next? Have you looked in the fridge? On top of the printer? On the spice rack?

    Look Shawn, don’t make me fly down there to help you find your medicine. I’ll rope Michelle into joining me, and then you’ll be sorry.

    However, we’d get to meet Donna and the girls, that’d be cool.

    Get cracking!!

18. by Shawn Powers, on April 12 2008 @

    

    You guys are awesome. I’ll be scouring the house in an hour or so.

19. by Tania, on April 12 2008 @

    

    You better mean that. I’ll be checking back at 12:15 PM Alaska Time. You better be looking by then, or I’ll tell my cats about your misfeasance.
    They’ll give you disapproving looks. You don’t want that, trust me.

20. by Tania, on April 12 2008 @

    

    It’s 12:15 - Are you looking??!?!?!

21. by MWT, on April 12 2008 @

    

    Could it still be at school? Didn’t Donna bring it to you yesterday around 10am because you forgot?

22. by Random Michelle K, on April 23 2008 @

    

    Poke! Poke!

    It’s 8:31! Take your medicine!

    (I’m nothing if not prompt)

23. by Shawn Powers, on April 23 2008 @

    

    hehehe — thanks.

24. by Nathan, on April 25 2008 @

    

    You’re either an hour late or you’re observing Central Time.

    I’ll require a clarification.

25. by Shawn Powers, on April 25 2008 @

    

    Nonsense! I’m observing PST, and I’m doggone early!

    (hehe, thanks — I had a meeting first thing this morning, and forgot to update!)

26. by Nathan, on April 25 2008 @

    

    I want instant gratification in my own time zone.

27. by Random Michelle K, on May 6 2008 @

    

    Take your medicine!

    POKE POKE POKE!

    And you’d been doing so well….

28. by Shawn Powers, on May 6 2008 @

    

    Dang it! I took a vacation day today, and ALMOST got it taken by 8:30. You must be like a super spy or something…

29. by Random Michelle K, on May 6 2008 @

    

    Well, I had to teach at 9. So I had to get my playing around done beforehand.

    Obviously you need to warn us ahead of time when you’re going to be sleeping in!

30. by Vince, on May 10 2008 @

    

    It’s after 9:00 am Eastern Time, the day before Mother’s Day. To quote Michelle:

    Take your medicine!
    POKE POKE POKE!

31. by Shawn Powers, on May 10 2008 @

    

    You got me. I slept in.

    Thanks!

32. by Michelle K, on May 13 2008 @

    

    It’s no longer Monday! It’s TUESDAY! Primary day here in West (by God) Virginia.

33. by Shawn Powers, on May 13 2008 @

    

    ARGH! You caught me, but again, I had taken my pill, just not updated the site.

    Also, Donna was in my office when your comment came in, and she said, “HA! Michelle caught you! Tell her I love her, but not in a weird way.”

    

34. by Michelle K, on May 13 2008 @

    

    Tell Donna I perfectly understand: After a post about a new microplane grater I got, a virtual friend said he thought he had an internet crush on me.

35. by Tom, on May 21 2008 @

    

    Poke! Hey, Shawn! It ain’t Two’s Day any more. Wake up and smell the medicine.

36. by Shawn Powers, on May 21 2008 @

    

    Oh crudsicles. I forgot all about it this morning. I’m going to call Donna and ask her to bring it in. Thanks!!!

37. by Random Michelle K, on May 22 2008 @

    

    I’m sure you’ve just forgotten to update, and NOT forgotten to take your pills two days in a row!

38. by Shawn Powers, on May 22 2008 @

    

    Sadly, no, it’s indeed 2 days in a row. I blame the lack of flushing toilets. Today will be a poopy day, so the blood pressure medicine will be greatly needed. Thanks for the reminder.

39. by Tia, on May 26 2008 @

    

    Its Monday, take your meds yet? Hope you don’t have to work and can enjoy the holiday! We are hoping to come up the last weekend in June, maybe we can all get together. Love lots!!

40. by Michelle K, on May 26 2008 @

    

    Wake up and take your meds ya slacker!

    Memorial Day holiday or not, your meds don’t wait for you!

41. by Random Michelle K, on May 30 2008 @

    

    POKE!

42. by Shawn Powers, on May 30 2008 @

    

    Oh crudsicles. I forgot to update. Thanks.

43. by Vince, on June 13 2008 @

    

    OK, it’s Friday the 13th, but ya still gotta take your medicine.

    POKE!

44. by Shawn Powers, on June 13 2008 @

    

    Dang, you are good. I was scrambling to the computer, and *thought* I made it in time.

    Thanks.

45. by Vince, on June 27 2008 @

    

    Ooooo - I know you’re at camp, so I hope your wifi is just not working properly or you’re busy doing something fun. But just in case, since it IS about 9:10 your time:

    POKE!
    POKE!

46. by Shawn Powers, on June 27 2008 @

    

    Don’t tell, but I sorta miscounted the number of pills I brought with me! I’m one short, and figured I’d save the one I have left for “pack up and get everyone home” day — as I suspect it will be very stressful.

    Yeah, I’m a dork…

47. by Vince, on June 28 2008 @

    

    Miscounts happen - been there, done that. But I’m guessing today is “pack up and get everyone home” so you should have taken your one remaining pill by now. If you haven’t, POKE!

48. by Random Michelle K, on July 2 2008 @

    

    POKE! POKE! POKE!

49. by Vince, on July 2 2008 @

    

    It’s not Two’s Day any more! POKE!
