What about peanut butter? I've operated on the assumption that it's high in protein-- I lunch on pb & bagel frequently (high in protein, fat and carbs). A handful of soy nuts might be good as well.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am taking a break from the homestead. When I left half of the new entertainment center had been put together. The old one was emptied and moved this morning. This will definately get completed today. Whee!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mr. Jane's parents put him to work as soon as we got there. They added an office and a porch and replaced the floors with hardwood. On the plus side we came home with a new doormat that looks just like Oz in a cowboy outfit, a bookshelf, a new screen door, FiL's complete album collection, duck gumbo, and of course delicious piiiiiiiiiieeeee.
Unfortunately, not staying home by myself for the holiday meant I missed a phone call from my sister telling me she was here. Also, a phone call from a friend of mine back in Louisiana telling me she's getting married- she left a number, but there was static or the phone cut out on the last number.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can never leave home again, DJ.
Kat has informed me that it's legal in Texas for a man to kill his adulterous wife and the cuckold too. In theory, they'd have to be in flagrante delicto, but it can extend to cold-blooded premeditated murder if he knows the cheating is happening.
I can't quite believe this--I can believe it used to be the case, but she cited something as recently as 1974 about a man who trapped his wife and best friend, shot him, beat her, and wasn't indicted (at least on the murder).
Wha? How? Shouldn't there be some sort of outrage somewhere?
I'm hoping that the law has changed since then, and that's why it's news to me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It has changed but fairly recently, and only when they discovered that it would have to apply to a man cheating on his wife.
ETA:
You can never leave home again, DJRight!?! Actually the calls were on my cell, but because in-laws are up in some beautiful hills in the middle of nowhere, where you can actually hear nature and see the stars and see deer and foxes and bunnies, I don't have service up there. Also, my diamond shoes are too tight.
And terribly jealous of your imbibing with Izzard

Thank DOG. I'd hoped a Texan would be in the house who knew.

Ahem. NOT a Texan. I just live here. When I make my millions I'm going back home.

Sorry. You're no more Texan than I am Californian, although I'm okay with being described as such. It's American that's wrong.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think the reason I don't like being called a Texan is strictly because I'm from Louisiana. I mean, I don't think it would bother me as much if I were from Rhode Island or something. It has to do with North Louisiana Cowboys fans, Galveston Mardi Gras, Pappadeaux "cajun" food, and the gulf. It's hard to explain.

I don't think it makes the murder legal; it's a mitigation of the crime. So you might be guilty of manslaughter, not murder. Not punishing a premeditated capital crime on a provocation theory sounds dubious to me, but I can't rule it out.
