You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Wow, a crazy couple of days around these parts! Happy to see JZ posting and bored... glad you got some sleep, and my hat is off to you for braving all the needles on top of all the Halloweenie scariness.

Happy to see the Bayistas rally around each other.

Yay, for sucessful moving and unpacking! Go you, vw!

Much ~ma to Calli and her family.

OMG ROBIN SO AWESOME! I'm really happy for you both.

Oh, no Tom- kidney stones are the suck... recovery~ma to you.

"I know all about the cervix! Ask me how!"

Jen, I thought of you, on Friday I got my pelvic exam and my doctor was checking things out and said, all suprised like, "oh! wow. You're very anatomically correct!" which I thought was hilarious. Distracted me from the exam for a few minutes at least.

Yesterday was a computer free day, and involved the farmers market, the Salem Martime Festival, and our farm's summer festival. Today, once I drag myself away from the internet, I must finish up me final project (an annotated bibliography) for class. Last class on Tuesday! Whoo! Freedom till September!

Also, am looking forward to hearing of Emily's tale of adventure with Juliana. Something tells me it was LEGENDARY.

You just can't depend on the weekend thread activity to keep you away from work for long. In between work stuff I'll try and post some pictures.

It was 49F this morning! Mountain sleeping is ok. Already over 70 now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Back from a lovely long romp at the dog beach. Cleaning and laundry next up on the agenda. Probably not as fun.

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

I think maybe go to the hospital. That way you can hang out with JZ while I go get the lunch. It's more likely that I'll be up there anyway

Will do. I'll call first, in case JZ really does get to go home today, which would of course be made of awesome.

move out and draw fire

Ow! Poor Tom - hope treatment is fast and relief is soon!

So good to see JZ posting - still vibing at you, sweetie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Congrats, Robin! Don't die, Scola! Hi, JZ!

So last night after a jaunt at the comedy club, I went to visit Juliana at her weekend workplace, and...Emily and Deb were there! Emily and I infuriated Deb with our "doing math for fun" as we tried to derive the Pythagorean theorem. It was a good time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Emily and I infuriated Deb with our "doing math for fun" as we tried to derive the Pythagorean theorem.
Yay. Sorry you had to infuriate Deb, but yay math!

Hotdish on a stick offered at Olmsted fair

Associated Press

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Anybody can put a hot dog on a stick. But at the Olmsted County Fair in Rochester, you can get hotdish on a stick.

It's pork and beef meatballs and tater tots, skewered and hand-dipped in a breaded batter and served with a cup of creamy mushroom sauce for dipping.

The dish won the Taster's Choice award at a street fair in Fargo.

The idea comes from Renae Juno of Owatonna. And she's teaming up with Charlie Connelly and his family to make them. They're headed to the Minnesota State Fair, with plans to have 40,000 hotdishes-on-a-stick ready to go.
