Oh, and Stephanie, when do you get the results? Should be pretty soon, correct?
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

"I'm a cutie." I think.
Ah. ...I probably should have been able to get that one myself.

Trust my rage
Thanks Nilly! I have been around so rarely since she was born I have missed a lot lately.
Tough class.
Yeah, but the point was made since I remember it 3 years later. My professor was very visual. He also brought in his kids' toy cars to demonstrate car accidents for us.
eta: Fred, I should hear by the end of the month. In the last few years, the letters were usually mailed around the 26th or so.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Back in the '80s, I spent a few summers working at McD's. Including a fair amount of time working at the counter.
It was well known among the customers that the coffee was HOT. In fact, it wasn't unusual to get an order for a cup of coffee with a little ice in it, or with a courtesy cup of ice on the side.
Yup. I worked at McDonald's in 1987-88, and everyone knew to treat the coffee as if it were lava. The hot chocolate was pretty damned molten, too. I'd stop at "my" McDonald's on the way to school -- it was about a 30-minute drive -- and the hot chocolate wouldn't be cool enough to drink until I actually got to school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm still waiting for Joss to start going by J Weewee.

And I'm glad somebody is getting the good weather, because here it's really hot and really humid.
This is what we pretty much had a solid week of, and a lot of other days this summer besides. I'm from Maine and SO not a summer person (heh, which has multiple meanings in Maine I won't get into).
I think Saturday was as hot a day as I've ever experienced.

flea, Citibank VISA has always been my highest customer satisfaction credit card, though it's not particularly advantageous money-wise. They seem to have the philosophy that it's their job to solve customers' problems rather than cause them. (This is the bank that alerted me to the carnie that was using my card # for long distance phone calls, and they took care of everything.)
DO NOT get a card through President's Club VISA, though. Unhelpful to the point of crookedness.

Flea, does your university have a credit union? When I worked for MGH, we could join Harvard's credit union, and they offered their own Mastercard.

The government has a calculator to compare the lifetime costs of hybrid vehicles vs. conventional.
Don't know how useful it is, but it is sort of interesting.
