Ooh, Zenkitty, I've heard good things about crockpots. Throw some stuff in there, turn it on, and Bob's your uncle. Apparently.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The evil is this way?
I actually have an uncle named "Bob". I don't think he's Zenkitty's uncle too.

The real problem with that, I think, is that charities with the smallest fundraising %age are often the ones that get most of their money from the government in large chunks. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it doesn't make them automatically better.
It's just a really sloppy way of evaluating in any case, big or small. If you spend say 1 mil on fundraising, and raise 20 mil, that looks pretty good. 5%. But what if (as is very, very often the case) you could be raising more by spending more? What if spending 10 mil would mean you rasied 100 mil? So, that's 10% - doens't look nearly as good on those charts. But it's an extra 69 million towards your mission, which, you know, is kind of the whole point.
And other factors too - good management (like Jesse!) costs money, you know.

Well, she hasn't used the Crock Pot, yet, has she?

My mom swears by a dry rub pork loin in a crock pot. Or a sesame ginger marinade. And hers are good. Me? Well, I love a good pork bbq, but crockpotting seems to make drier, or I don't follow directions well (er, true) so I have to sauce it. Or bean it. Or somehow make it moister. I am a crockpot failure. Except with stewed chicken and pepper. I need to make that again.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I used to have a huge orange cat. [link] Rosie and Gilda are more moderately sized.
Would some time next weekend be good for a Chicagoista naan-quest Indian night?

You know what's funny? Based on local news, B'more is totally claiming Pelosi. And she's all um, yeah, learned the brutal ropes at my father's knee but CALIFORNIA. SAN FRANCISCO, people!
We're co-opting her totally and it's funny.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so, I meant to say earlier, but ..
I have the same pair of boots in three colors: black, burgandy, and brown.
Today I get to work with a burgandy left and a brown right. UGH.
