I love despair.com. Other great quotes from them:
- Winners never quit and quitters never win. Bot those who never win and never quit are idiots.
- It could be that failure may be your style.
- Meetings: Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups
- Consulting: If you can't be part of the solution, there's good money to be made prolonging the problem.
SheilaAnn. They all poke fun at the whole "motivation poster" idea. But despair.dom (and the ones I quoted) predate HIMYM by at least five years.
In a related note, I flew next to Neil Patrick Harris and his soon-to-be husband back when he was filming HIMYM. Directly in front of him was Allison Hannigan, the redhead from the show. She spent the whole flight facing backward, perched with her knees in her seat, so she could talk over the back of the seat to NPH.

If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
Last year I did a fully deconstructed turkey, and it was about the easiest cook ever. Sure, presentation is different, but who cares if the meat and skin are perfect?

So I pushed on and dropped off care packages to FIL and BIL. Upside, I get to have the dessert I want and the gravy I want and the mashed potatoes I want. You see, I don’t get that stuff when things are normal. And I don’t get football or mimosas while cooking.
