I've rescued the dog and Owen is in a dry shirt.

Burger In A Cup

Never heard of 'em. Must be one of those local places. I'm a Fuddrucker's gal, myself.

it’s the idea that there is no physical permanent place to lay flowers

Thing is, the way my family history goes, there'll be nobody around to lay them. Nobody in the last three generations of my family has been buried where they were born, and most of 'em moved around in between. My mom was born in Texas, my dad in Missouri; their parents are buried in various parts of Texas, and they now live in Indiana. I was born in Kansas, have moved around a lot, and hope to die in California.

I won't be dressing the family graves this or any Easter.

I checked out The Dreaded Brocolli, a funny cookbook written by a woman (and her daughter) after her husband had a heart attack and they changed their diet.

The good thing, especially if you're in the habit of doing the cooking anyway, is that there are so many ways to make something better for you when you're cooking from scratch, even without starting a whole new way of eating. In 99% of recipes, for example, butters and oils can be cut by more than half without changing a thing about the finished dish. (Not baked goods, but all the recipes that start out "sautee onions in 2 T butter, etc.") Different meats, or cuts of meat. I don't like low fat cheeses, but it works fine in recipes where the cheese is part of the taste, but not the main event. So the low-fat stuff goes on the inside, real if it's going to be sprinkled on top. And you can make things like stews and chilis that are crazy good for you but are hearty (and traditional) enough that they don't set off the you-can't-make-me-change reflex.

But the chicken-fried steak is going to up to him. Though that was a great idea to check out the menu with him and see what other things he might like instead.

Why Tom Delay should be pushed out of an airplane.
1. Because it's funny.
2. Because Deb has everything and is really hard to buy gifts for.
3. He's a lying sack of...

Hee!

Use staples. Paperclips fall off too easily.

Okay. Somehow I'd gotten it in my head that you weren't supposed to staple anything to your official tax forms, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks.

Loving the Owen stories, by the way. And now I'm singing to myself, "Everybody wants a dog to bang their baby bottle on" (to the tune of "Everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around", of course).

...because Bill Frist is standing underneath and ripe for crushing?

What I was annoyed at was the fact that a 10x15” pan will not fit.

Well sure, what kind of crazy-ass pan is that?

That is something she would want to look at every Christmas. I admit when the case first broke, I read those depictions of Terri expressing herself too, but not with a liquid brain!
