Why the Amish are one of the fastest-growing religious groups in N. America | MNN – Mother Nature Network – Interesting article. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Lagrange County (where I went to high school) is #2 on the list of counties likely to end up with an Amish population majority.

Heh. Judging by the screenshot (http://t.co/o565GQ1p), @mat named his iPad “Ol Dirty Padster.” That’s kind of brilliant.

Okay, so the random bus dude who said I looked lovely and wished me a good day was clearly a crazy person. Still, nice start to Monday.

.@brooke_fong @astroboysoup Interesting that it doesn’t say much about fulfilment, which is where my @Pozible experience hasn’t been great.

Good grief. Made a FB post about the stupid Chick-Fil-A thing; got the most epic tl;dr in the world in reply from a family member. *sigh*

@blakkat Snook and I are doing it. No booze, no sugar, no dairy, no grains. Nutritional reset button! Already difficult tho. #whole30
@blakkat Definitely no bread and potatoes! Google “Whole30”. It’s rough, but we’ve been going in the wrong direction for a while.
@drkknits Tonight Snook’s roasting lamb with pumpkin & spinach. Ghee is just because we’re trying no dairy this month. Whole30 = hardcore!
@jessgenevieve Ooh, lovely. I’m a big fan of slow carb; followed it for a while last year!
@jessgenevieve I’m a big fan of the Paleo Salisbury Steaks: http://t.co/YsyEZLcC. We have those at least once a fortnight!
@blakkat Ooh, thanks. Adding to Google Reader now!

CHAOS! Fam’s @united flight back to LA from Sydney tomorrow has been cancelled. Trying to sort out replacement flights!
We had to ring @united’s international number and sit on hold to sort it out. Looks like they’re rebooked through San Fran!
Hmm. @united CSR told my family they were getting Economy Plus seats… but the ones they’re given aren’t. Tall stepdad is not happy.
