[edit 11/15 554p] don't know why but loudtwitter failed to dump Monday's tweets to my blog. so i had to use a different twitter backup site, www.tweetake.com, to recover them. tweetake, tho, only exports to .csv files, and the time-date stamp it put on the tweets was UTC, Greenwich Mean Time, which meant i had to edit it in a spreadsheet, use tweets from 7p Sun to 7p Mon--a midnight to midnight Monday here by UTC time--and subtract 5 hours from the time of each tweet. took hours, and a real pain. i'm not sure how well i've recreated these. i have a suspicion that some of the times are wrong (and therefore in the wrong order), and some are missing completely, according to another source of tweet backups, www.tweetbackup.com, which i couldn't use originally because it wouldn't let me log in. and a third source (fourth if you count the tweet dump to this blog, and i do, i guess) is www.backupify.com, which only runs once a week for twitter.

• 8:33    it is so hot here in south florida, already 90! RT @FOX19Sara what a cold morning!
• 8:47    i come by hoarding honestly: my mom is bowling w/a ball she bot 4 decades ago, & hasnt used for 3. she kept it all this time!
• 9:17    happy birthday, youngster! RT @jennifurret It's my birthday, yay! 22 years old - man, I'm ancient ;P
• 9:19    @christineromans candy is not Bad For You. sugar is not empty calories, it is full of joy!

i've chatted on twitter before with Christine Romans, a business reporter on CNN, about the "healthy lifestyle". when i disagreed with a story of hers, she asked for my references, and i buried her in them! she said she'd check them out, but i never heard any more about it.

• 10:01    i'm one of those ppl who sneezes--twice--every time i go out in bright sunlight
• 10:13    this bowling alley is goofing the score. Mom got 7 pins but it showed 8; she got 2 more & it gave her a spare, tho 1 pin was still standing!
• 10:17    @jennifurret ur good grade on the exam will be a birthday present u gave urself!
• 10:21    this lane is occasionally allowing 3 balls per frame, or setting the pins w/1 missing, &c
• 10:25    @MzStarrBurst there's some ppl i'd lend money to if that'd make 'em go away
• 10:29    Mom bowled a 144!

• 11:04    while my mother was bowling, i read a book
• 12:01    @Kunsthure nothing looks chewed on? [she was tweeting about a moth invasion]
  
• 12:03    @Synthaetica Happy Birthday!
• 12:08    saw a poster that said "i needed a friend and god sent me you". that's supposed to be sweet, but it feels wrong to me
• 12:08    or any other meal! RT @SunDevil75 Once again, if you're gonna eat shit for breakfast, don't talk to me.
• 12:12    @TheGodless kids eat cuz theyre growing. #endchildhoodobesity by recognizing our wonderful diversity in shapes and sizes
• 12:14    @MzStarrBurst i hope ur teacher is on twitter and read that! [she was answering the question of whether she'd sleep with one of her teachers, and she said yes]
  
• 12:21    "obesity crusaders" r saying we would rather sit than move & eat "unhealthy" food rather than "healthy". that strikes me as elitist
• 13:30    "Even when...carefully monitored, the relationship between (food) intake and body weight is weak (Edholm et al, 1955)"
• 13:35    @MzStarrBurst yay, i'm 1 of 1793! [she said she loves 1793 of her 1794 followers on twitter]
  
• 13:35    @Jamberta it was very subtle? [she said she had been insulted a week ago and was just realizing that her feelings had been hurt]
  
• 13:38    lol RT @mattincinci rt @expatina Christians start own version of Twitter http://tr.im/DVRI // Should name it Cwitter in honor of Sarah Palin
• 13:37     MzStarrBurst: This is one of my faves. ---->@DyNama I don't know why. But his presence is comforting. Just thought I'd share that. And don't hate.
  
• 13:43    thanx! RT @MzStarrBurst This is 1 of my faves. ->@DyNama I don't know why. his presence s comforting. Just tht I'd share that. And dont hate
• 13:46    1st time i was on a jury, i asked for the "affirm" oath rather than the "swear" oath @Taby74 @VariantVal
• 13:52    @VariantVal so many ppl told me ways to get out of jury duty, but i felt it was my duty [she said she enjoyed jury duty]
  
• 13:57    omg! RT @stevewhitaker Only way I know 2 "outsmart flu" is sneak up behind it, stick a screwdriver into soft part of its skull, & wiggle it
• 14:02    @katmandelstein i cant wait to have a twitter app implanted in my head!
• 14:05    i should be so lucky! RT @Monicks @VeronikaG do you have any idea how honored any guy would be with a nice caring sweet stalker as you?
• 14:10     VeronikaG: @DyNama HAHA, No your crazy.
  
• 14:07    *wink* RT @MzStarrBurst Stop staring at me. I hate your stupid eyes. Jerk. [this was a general comment sent to the twitterverse; "RT" stands for retweet]
• 14:13     Monicks: @DyNama Right Norm? Your see, Veronika? @VeronikaG I'm right! :)
  
• 14:15    "...it is not clear that increased physical activity actually prevents or reverses age-related weight gain... (DiPietro, 1999)"
• 14:36    @Monicks @VeronikaG i tend to like friend's exes better than their currents!
• 14:41    whatever happened to @cherokee_autumn?
• 15:07    going to M&D's church so they can count yesterday's receipts

in addition to the time change, and loudtwitter not dumping my tweets for today at midnight, my phone was acting up. i tried to tweet from M&D's church but it just wouldn't go. 4 hours later, at Ruby Tuesdays, it still wouldn't send. on the way home from the restaurant, my phone crashed and rebooted! i didn't really know cell phones could do that, tho i do admit my phone's operating system is by Microsoft.

• 15:16     freckle_faced: RT @DyNama: whatever happened to @cherokee_autumn?//I have been wondering the same thing.  She is going thru a nasty divorce.
  
• 15:18     Monicks: @DyNama  @VeronikaG I don't know why Norm, but that right there sounded reeeeeally good! Just sayin'.
• 19:03    so anyway, we had dinner at Ruby Tuesdays after they counted yesterday's take @ their lutheran church
• 19:04    my dad's first cousin's widower has called him, that's pretty rare
• 19:18    @freckle_faced yet i read about 1 recall a few yrs ago that only 15% of the hamburger was ever returned. the rest was presumably eaten
• 19:19    @OtherStarr is 60 tweets an hour, 1 per minute, enuf to send u to jail? [twitter "jail" is when your account is temporarily suspended because you send too many tweets; the solution is to have a second twitter account]
  
• 19:27    was she really hot? RT @claudiajordan wow this MARRIED lady on TYRA show said she cheated on her hubby w/betw 100-150 men in a 6 mo period!
• 19:30    good, u included me RT @Lilykily Yea, yeah, I dig my followers peeps. That means you, you, and the naked jerker in the corner. You too. [a general message to the twitterverse again. tweeters throw them out to see if anyone will respond. my best stuff usually doesn't get a response]
