Dawn ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was expecting notes on my manuscript from my agent on Saturday so I could do some writing this weekend.
Saw the mailcarrier, not the usual one, and noticed that she had delivered some mail, but didnt take the outgoing mail, and was zigzagging confusedly along the street.
So I say, "I'm expecting a Priority Mail pack today, are you finished delivering to this building?"
And she says, "Oh, no, I'm just delivering the mail."
I give up.
Sounds like your post office had a case of the same stupids mine did saturday. I went to pick up the box for which I got a slip on friday. The notice said it would be available after 8 am on saturday for pickup. "It's out for delivery." Of course I came home to another slip.
It was there this morning, thankfully.
Yeah. Small, single family homes start near 400K, here. Two and a half years ago, we sold a 2BR (5 room total) house for about 375K. It had a 30 year old roof, and a 60 year old furnace, and no garage.
That's insane. Of course, on the flipside there's my cousin who bought a 3BR on 3 acres in southern Indiana for 40k. Of course, he's out in the middle of no where, 30 minutes via country roads from the nearest town, but still.
Kalshane, you can get the regular oats and microwave them with milk in 3 minutes. That would probably do more for your cholesterol than the instant stuff. Toss in some cinnamon and vanilla before you nuke and it's pretty tasty
Huh. Never tried that. Didn't even think about the fact the instant stuff might not be as good for me.
My understanding is that whole grain is generally the healthier choice. Those prepackaged oats may lose some value in the processing. And they probably have ingredients that you don't really want/need.
I'd like to be able to have some Oberweis ice cream without feeling like I'm supporting him.
I feel doubly guilty when going to the local Oberweis, partially because of the overpriced (but very yummy) ice cream, and partly because I don't want to be giving him any of my nicely liberal dollars. At least Ben & Jerry opened a store just down the street from the Oberweis, so I have an alternative alternative, so to speak.

And with the non-instant stuff you can control the level of sweet. I'm in love with this steelcut kind from Whole Foods that takes 5 minutes in the microwave. I make it with water and put in a little brown sugar, some dried cranberries, and some almonds. It equals The Yum.
Of course, for the last few days I've been eating all party leftovers all the time from the big ass baby shower I had on Saturday.
Mmmmmmm, Ben and Jerry's Dublin Mudslide--very yummy.

I have no issue with Jim Oberweis pissing away my liberal dollars and thus forcing more legitimate Republican candidates to piss away their conservative dollars.

I will rec McCann's Instant Irish Oatmeal as something quick, tasty, healthy, and not overly sweet. It's really good. I also eat the Kashi Go Lean! instant oatmeal, but that is kinda nast.
