      - I think 2 of the 10 are non-network if I'm reading it right -- nm - oblique Jan 3, 07:36 1

        I figured some comedies had to be on it, so I named the ones I think are popular. -- nm - MDH Jan 3, 07:38
        
        it must be an ST poll! -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 07:37 2
        
        Right? Who would have ever thought such a thing would happen on an ST Quiz about TV shows?? ;-) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Jan 3, 07:39
        
        We still would be guessing to get to Khourtney and Khloe take Miami, if I let that one poll keep going -- nm - MDH Jan 3, 07:38

  - I've thought about it. There's another 5 mile run where they serve wine in September. And our big 13 mile run is in May. -- nm - Amy Jan 3, 07:33 10
    - Uh...13.1 is a half-marathon. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 07:36 1
      - Yeah, that's the May one. The 5 mile ones are at a winery--that's the one I've done. -- nm - Amy Jan 3, 07:39
    - 13 miles is pretty serious. i need to sign us up for the 10K again in June. - Andie Jan 3, 07:35 7

        it's not that big a leap from where you are to a 10k, really. -- nm - Andie Jan 3, 07:39 1
        
        Agreed. I went from three to five miles in a week. -- nm - Amy Jan 3, 07:43
      - I am thinking of taking up running again. Post-injury, I have gotten into swimming. Swam a mile last night. -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 3, 07:36
      - Plus it's probably cheaper. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 07:36 2
        
        oh it is. but really it's knowing that it's coming, and it's paid for, that makes me get out there. i can be very lazy. -- nm - Andie Jan 3, 07:37 1
        
        I'm even more lazy. - JaxSean Jan 3, 07:46

        *nods* that's what I'm going to do, I just need to actually force myself to do it. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 07:36 4
        
        do you have access to a scanner right now? go. -- nm - Andie Jan 3, 07:37 3
        
        Nope, I'll need to wait till I'm home home. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 07:38 2
        
        do credit cards, points cards, etc too. (front and back for those). - Andie Jan 3, 07:40 1
