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.

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.

Anyone want a dog?

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.

"A man said to the universe: "Sir, I exist!" "Great," replied the universe, "I'm looking for someone to take care of my cat."

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.

::jumps up and down, waving arms madly::

Tell me what flight you plan to stick him on, or if that's too expensive just swaddle him in a blanket and tape some stamps to his bad-dog butt.

Hee! I had a feeling JZ would be along :).

hey, I'm closer! I could just stop by after work and git him!

vw, can you go to the prof now-ish and say, "Slight miscalculation in my planning for this project - I was hoping for x responses to my survey, from which I could happily give some preliminary analysis; instead I've gotten ___ and that will take more time, what with my recent spate of not being able to breathe. On the upside - sample size is frelling awesome, don't you think?"
