Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dana, no. IME you've got a least a couple of weeks, if not longer, before there's any reason to hesitate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm filling out my timesheet. I forgot what days I had Dr. appointments and am unable to figure it out from my work computer. However, I can figure it out from Natter....

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

Recipe: Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar
This Italian dessert is elegant but very simple. Serve the berries and vinegar as is or with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you don't have light brown sugar on hand, sprinkle the berries with an equal amount of granulated sugar.
Serves 6
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (small berries can be halved or quartered)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Ground black pepper
1. Bring vinegar, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until syrup is reduced by half (to approximately 3 tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Transfer vinegar syrup to small bowl and cool completely.
2. With spoon, lightly toss berries and brown sugar in large bowl. Let stand until sugar dissolves and berries exude some juice, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour vinegar syrup over berries, add pepper to taste, and toss to combine. Divide berries among individual bowls or goblets and serve immediately.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks for posting the recipe, Brenda. My market has strawberries at a crazy cheap price right now.

Heh.
We do apologise for our incompetence at getting the day right. But we do still have the month right in our understanding and we now have a new day for this disaster. So we again strongly advise anyone in New York City with any faith in God, whatever his religion, or whatever his distrust of organised religion, to be outside the city this time between Tuesday evening July 25th and Thursday evening July 27th.
If you miss work because the Bible says your city is gonna get nuked but then it doesn't happen, does your missing work count as a religious holiday?

So here I was, browsing the Web with vw's dog comfortably tucked up at my side, with his paws on my leg. Did you know he's afraid of thunder? He just got up, took a moment to figure out his best route, then climbed across my leg to plop himself down firmly in my lap. He doesn't quite fit, but that doesn't seem to bother him, so long as he's protected.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OMG, I am so there with the strawberries. Bookmarked!
