sara, you'll be glad to know that Patty Stonesifer, who actually runs the foundation, is freaking awesome.

OK, I'd hug her. Hah. That foundation has done awesome things. It is a credit to her, for sure.

Bono's a capital "B" Believer. The Rock Star cover just hides it well.

That doesn't bug me. I'm glad he's able to reach across some pretty high boundries to accomplish something. Unlike some (MY FREAKING DAD) I don't have issue with people pursuing good in the name of their faith. Sure, I get pissy when I see contradictions, cruelty, denial , ostracism and whatnot, but really, if the end seeks what I see as a wholly good thing, I applaude those that educated you such that your faith brought you there. I've rejected the quaker faith, but it reinforced in me some core things that I'll never lose. So's my dad by oh, how loudly he'll deny that. Shit, the man was a key player in Sanctuary. That was a big Catholic/Quaker thingie. And yet.... anyway. Yes, I just had a debate with him.

love sara. again. still. whatever.

Why is this turning into group decision-making?!? I swear to god, this is the last thing I do with more than three other people.

Shouldn't have gotten a job!

Again, I point out that at work, you know who's in charge.

Also, if I never get asked "what are we doing?" when I'm not the person in charge of the plans? It'll be too soon. I can tell you what I am doing; what are you doing?

sara, I not only remember, I've used your bag of peas to ice an ankle. Well, not *your* bag of peas, but the idea.

Tom, lovely furniture, and nice wall color, too. Hee! to the bouncing on the bed picture.

Foo darn. Missed Nilly again.

Thanks Spidra. I was more annoyed because the shipping thing always annoys me because it's a) discriminatory and b) incorrectly discriminatory. As far as the Roomba goes, perhaps this is telling me I should get off my butt and vacuum with a real vacuum cleaner. But I really appreciate the offer!

I love medicinal peas.

I was thinking the wrought iron bars so common in that part of the world.

I'm pretty sure these wouldn't do much to stop a bear. They'll go through real doors for food when they're hungry.

Yes, but what about when they just want to do a little astronomy?

I love medicinal peas.

I don't have any frozen peas. I am now feeling that this is a deficiency. In a pinch, would a bag of frozen spinach be medicinal? I also have a lot of frozen beef. Effective, I think, if bloody. Although that's the sort of thing better left said about, say, Tim.

I once used a can of beer as a compress and then pissed off my roommate by putting it back in the fridge. Oops.
