and I do believe I managed to convince her that I'm not an axe murderer. It was a lovely time.

Awww, I was never worried.

Ellie and I also had a wonderful time walking with juliana. I love the lakes in Minneapolis - a nice feature for a big city. Also, we had wonderful ice cream (raspberry chocolate chip for me) while we walked. Great company plus ice cream always makes for a good evening.

I am actually giving serious consideration to approaching my Evil Former Employer and seeing whether he can give me a reason to return to teach at the Evil School.

With the usual caveats about being thousands of miles away and not really understanding all the circumstances, my gut reaction to this is to run screaming toward you, crying, "Eek! No! Don't do it!"

Yes, very much this.

Hey, VW, I'm excited about the idea of a cookbook and can't wait to see what people submit. But I have a question, should we NOT use recipes that are in printed cookbooks? I ask because when my PTA did a cookbook fundraiser they told us not to submit recipes direct from cookbooks because of copyright. Please advise.

So, if an employer doesn't pay any of the premium, do folks think it is worth getting dental insurance? I actually have to be at the dentist a lot (soft teeth, lots of cavities. Curses!), but it seems like insurance never pays for very much of what I have to get done.

Most people I know don't bother. The person hat can figure it out best - the person behind the counter at your dentist office. That's how the people I know that have dropped thier dental insurance figured it out.

I know the teaching part was godd - but that was a really eveil boss. Did he even pay you exactly what you were owed? If you go back , he will do it again. Even if you don't teach this year - is you new employer garunteeing they will hire you next year? Then I would guess you are ok. Find out what setting up means. If it means being invovled in choseing books for the classroom or library - you are doing important stuff for the classroom - and it counts.

I bet Emmett is breaking hearts already. What a cutie! I always loved boys with long hair.

My Big Gay Event was a bust. The club was entirely too crowded and the staff was rude as hell. We left before the band even started. (FTR, I wore the black criss-cross cleavage shirt and platform sandals.)

Please advise.

Hmmm...I was hoping that we could get by by listing them as the source. Let me do a little research, though, to make sure. I'll post the answer in Press (and here too).

I took today off work and am tempted to take myself to the Beverly Center and shop my ass off.

Please don't as it is such a nice ass.
