yay! I was looking for a new dessert for Christmas this year. woo!

I would not make an entire pie with dried cherries. You paid a premium to buy the dried product

I am the originator of the dried cherry question, and I'm wondering if the suggestion not to use solely dried cherries is a cost issue. My housemate doesn't remember how he got them and in fact forgot they were there.

Good thoughts and vibes for Emily's stepdad.

I can't see any reason why that God would be micromanagery and petty over who we have sex with and what we do on Sunday. Which, obviously, is fine with me.

I don't think He would be, either. I mean, there is the teensy tiny chance He does care, for reasons unknowable to us, but I think most Earth religions are people trying to make a God we can't comprehend understandable.

And last night I dreamed something about an online roleplaying game I'm participating in, and I still thought the events of the dream were going on when I woke up. It was a confusing few seconds.

Toto's being bad today.

Anyone want a dog?

For me, I'd be concerned about the dried cherries overpowering everything else, as I've found dried cherries to be more cherry-licious. If that makes sense. Like using dried vs. fresh herbs ("because there's a fucking 'H' in it.")

I use them in cookies or on oatmeal and stuff. Oh - once I put them in banana bread. That was yummy. Think of them as souped-up raisins.

To add to the two intelligence-challenged ones I already have, on top of the evil kitty. Nope, probably not a good idea.

Dried cherries are good in salads, with nuts and gorgonzola.

Annoyance: internet site shopping carts that purge while I'm taking care of the baby, requiring me to find everything again.

Anybody have any recs for cheap yet useful graphics programs or web authoring tools? I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver, but I've been asked to recommend something cheaper, for someone who is not a professional. (x-posted with Tech)

I actually picked up Miss Kitty today to boot her out of my mom's room. She did not scratch or bite me. Yay!

I'm not as exhausted today, but the throat is worse. Am considering calling the doc. Don't want this to descend into the lungs and trigger la asthma. I've been ok so far, but I don't want to court trouble.

You're probably right, Cashmere. And besides, he's so cute, I don't think I could give him up anyway. He's just being a brat today...probably because we're stressed out.

So, I've decided I'm a research assistant who needs a research assistant. I got such amazing response to my survey that I'm not sure how I'm going to get through all of the data in a timely manner, which means tomorrow. I need to have a partial analysis done for a paper that is due tomorrow. I'm just not sure that's going to happen. But, it's too late to change my topic.
