Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

FYI, if you wear rubber gloves when working with peppers, best to just throw them out afterwards, but it will save your hands.
Where were you to help me 3 hours ago?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tailless Gibralter Monkeys!
GIBRALTAR - Legend has it that as long as the Barbary apes roam the rock of Gibraltar, the territory will remain safely under British rule.
The British have embraced this particular piece of folklore for centuries; not even Churchill, in the throes of World War II, dared to disregard it. In 1944, with British morale battered by the war and the Rock's monkey population dwindling, he took no chances. He ordered a shipment of Barbary macaques from Morocco, a short hop across the strait.
Little did Churchill envision how big the monkey population would grow, nor the shenanigans that would come along with it.
Monkey shenanigans are the best kind of shenanigans.
eta:
One of their favorite tricks is swiping ice cream cones from children, leaving behind a trail of crumbs and tears. (Not surprisingly, the monkeys now suffer from tooth decay.).
Nobody is supposed to feed or touch the monkeys, which carries a fine of nearly $1,000.

Oops, and just under the wire on my coast...
Happy Birthday, JZ!

...it's not a paradox if you go back in time and save your grandfather. And, added Dr. Polchinski, "It's not a paradox if you try to shoot your grandfather and miss."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just saw the first episode of 30 Days . DH and I decided to leave on TIVO for awhile. We both need the reminder of how much we have- in the material sense. It sorta became one of those msbelle friday questions. - how much do you have that you know you could really live without.
At the library - we often have a huge amount of cake,pies, cookies , etc. one of the grocery stores gives away the stuff that 'left over' to the one of the local churches. - and thoses that need food can't use all the pies and cakes. so we get them. It is sporadic, but it is a nice work perk.

I know that in the board's time it's still the 27th, but I'm afraid I may have to run from the computer soon, so - since it's already today here (timezones have nothing to be ashamed about the complicated tenses grammar they require, even when compared to time travel), I'll post already now that according to the Buffista Calendar today is a double Buffista birthday, both for DavidS and for Deborah Grabien (and for her DH, Nic!). Happy birthday, Hec! Happy birthday, deb! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday, Hec!
Thanks, Nilly! We've already determined it's my birthday in Chicago. And earlier Rio and I were contemplating the Kosher-ness of monkeys. (I said no cooking them in monkey milk.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, I can happy-birthday you to your face screen!
It's your birthday here for hours. It's been your birthday longer in Australia.
And earlier Rio and I were contemplating the Kosher-ness of monkeys. (I said no cooking them in monkey milk.)
Hmm, I wonder how the question was brought up. Any orthodox jewish explorer into the jungles?
Hi, Perkins! It's funny - I posted with you yesterday before you went to sleep, after you got up, and now after I went to sleep and got up. All the days are jumbled.
