It's not oatmeal, but it's not waffles either. You'll live an extra ten minutes.
Hey! We had blueberry waffles this morning!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The NY Times actually used the word "oops" in their headline for this story:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, who announced his candidacy on Wednesday with the hope that he could ride his foreign policy expertise into contention for the Democratic nomination, instead spent the day struggling to explain his description of Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat running for president, as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Didja' know that blasphemy is a crime in Massachusetts?
This is the state where blue laws just survived a referendum-attempt to kill them. It would not surprise me if prostitutes were still formally called "fallen women" in the state law code.
Old-fashioned is the nicest word I can think of for it; but at least I know that other states have much more embarrassing spaghetti code in their legislative histories.

Why would you do a thing like that?
I'm sad to report that if you're going to continue to smoke you have to make an extra effort to not dead yourself prematurely. Granola is not enough. Take a timely tip from Daisy.
Or consider Cindy's commitment to the four hour a day Jazzercize routine. (Now with extra calorie burning jazz hands.)

On the smoking thing - I was thinking about it over the weekend. And how expensive the quitting smoking things - the patch, the gum, etc are so expensive.
And it occured to me that alcohol is also an addictive substance that is legal. And how health insurance has to cover rehab. And how employers have to allow people to go to rehab without fear of losing their jobs. And how some states will cover rehab.
Why doesn't health insurance cover smoking cessation programs? In the long run, it would save them money from having to treat people from cancer, emphezema, asthma, and all of the other various illnesses that happen from smoking.
For us, if we could afford the huge upfront cost of the gum or the patch, or if it was subsidized in some way by our health insurance, it would be a lot easier to quit.
Just a thought.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our insurance covers Zyban and I think it also covers the patch.

Some do.
