And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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

Very sharp papercutter/guillotine, cutting off just the bound edge?

This is a good idea. For anyone's future reference, apparently the velobinding machine has a tool for removal. After spending 15 minutes trying to peel it out with my letter opener (I am very busy, you see) I asked Duplicating if they could and found this out.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Hmm. I thought Crixa Cakes had a good chance of making Paczki, but I was wrong.

The Swedish holiday cake for this time is a semla (pl. semlor). Danville Old Towne Bakery used to make them but I'm not sure if they still do following their change in ownership.

Trust my rage

the Diane Rehm show,

I feel like an ageist (if that's a word) saying this, but I can't stand to listen to her. It hurts my ears and I always turn on my iPod during her show.

I was going to say, there's a special tool that rips it right out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What kind of food do they serve, Aims?

Frulatti Cafe - which has a new "dessert deli" and a Surf City squeeze same main food as Wall Street Deli.

Johnny Pizza - serves pizza.

Samurai Sam's - Chinese. GREAT chicken teryaki.

Steak and Potato Company - same as Great Steak Escape.

Also, Rice Garden moved and now has a sushi bar. Taco Time - Mexican food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You salt haters are crazy.

I wasn't going to say anything, but brenda's right.

bon, always go to the experts.

My childhood best friend was Polish (I mean, lived-with-immigrant-grandparents Polish), and I swear I've never heard of paczki until you people.

Punishingly Intricate

She has some disease that messes up her voice. Her voice bugs me but mostly I just can't stand her interview style.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Where did Rice Garden move, and which restaurants closed?

Trust my rage

See, I thought she was just really old. I'm not sure I feel any better now. Our NPR station just picked her up in the last year and I don't know why.

lisah, i'm so sorry to hear about the baby who died. Joe and I both were very sad for her and her parents last night.

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

Grrrr. Just sent off a Personnel Action for a new hire (which notifies a chain of people who need to deal with that, and also goes up a hierarchy chain) and it got dinged because the salary wasn't right.

Now, I put the salary that was on the offer letter, which is what I'm supposed to do. But the salary schedule has changed between the time the offer letter went out (Dec) and now (almost March). So I talked to LA!Boss about this and she got all snippy that we should have known about the change.

Which is all fine and dandy, except (a) I'm not high up enough to possess a salary grid; and (b) they're changing the salary strucgture again and it hasn't been officially approved as yet. Not that I would know since I'm not in that loop.

Fucking organizational stupidity. Your system is stupid! Don't act like I'm stupid because I did what I'm supposed to! Besides which - LA!Boss approved it and it got dinged at Firmwide. Which is why she's grumpy about it.
