Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Because books.

Hey all. Have been lurking like a lurking thing lately, due to being blue and very busy. Spreading glittery ~ma to all and sundry.

I'm starting to think I don't have a bruise but possibly a tiny fracture in my coccyx.

Bruising/bleeding definitely not a prereq, Hec.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm starting to think I don't have a bruise but possibly a tiny fracture in my coccyx.

Ouch, Hec. That's painful.

My mother fractured the last two bones in her spine falling off a stepstool while cleaning out the cabinet over the refrigerator, proving, once again, that housework can kill you.

Sounds like you need an ass-ray, Hec. Ouch.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My last dentist honest to d-G died from falling off a ladder. I came back from vacation to find a letter in the mail saying he was being replaced at the practice and that was the first I heard of it! Freaked me right the heck out. And it wouldn't surprise me to find out he was attending to a "honey-do" when it happened. I feel for beth's friend; he was damn lucky. Such a simple piece of equipment, so deadly.

Brrr. Okay, enough with the geese and shit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey Emily, when a class is described as "Intro to finite math", what the heck type of math is it?

I think that means the class will someday end.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My last dentist honest to d-G died from falling off a ladder.

This along with Beth's post reminds me of reading through a BBS on grieving and being shocked at how many people there had lost somebody by falling off a ladder or a roof. People don't think it's dangerous. It's dangerous!

I don't like the part where I get off the roof and onto the ladder, it always feels unstable to me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's a good tip about Low Sodium V-8, Andi, thanks! I am forever getting leg cramps, and I hate bananas. And Gatorade isn't part of my weight-loss program.

Andi also makes her own potassium supplements.

For example, at the health food store we went to a couple of weeks ago she bought some empty gelatin capsules.

Then fill a capsule with NoSalt (Or Norton Lite Salt, or Nu-Salt...) potassium chloride salt, as needed.

Works like a charm, and you avoid tasting a 1/4 tsp of potassium either straight or in food.

I've been suplementing my potassium by mixing Nu-Salt 50/50 with regular salt in one skaker I use on a regular basis.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hey Emily, when a class is described as "Intro to finite math", what the heck type of math is it?

At my university, it would start off with basic review of linear functions (y=mx+b, slope and intercept, stuff like that), then go on to solving systems of equations, then systems of inequalities. Not sure what would come after that. (I'm currently TAing finite math, but this is my first semester doing it, and I haven't looked to see what comes after the chapter we're currently on.)
