This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

Good luck, Tom. I'd hate for Scolapalooza to end on a bad note.

I can't file for an extension because I'm lazy!

I've done that more than once.

I don't know if my taxes are going to get done or not. The odds are high for a Form 4868 in my future.

I am going to get mine done today.

Really, I am.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm working on taxes too. Joy.

ita, I really like the burgundy! But then again, I am highly prejudiced towards the red. (Note to self: buy hair dye today!!)

msbelle, yes, more cowbell! Uh -- pictures of your cutiehead Mac. I love the name Mac.

Ziplocks: I did Saturday school yesterday and organized my desk, and found a bunch of ziplocks, and ending up pinning them to the walls and putting extra pens and highlighters and pencils in them. I am so proud of my good idea! Yeah, ziplocks. I have used icetrays for cubes of stock before. You do have to wash eventually, but v. easy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You can also use the icetrays method to freeze the stock, and then put them in the ziplocs. Unless you're me, and you have no more room in your freezer. Then you need to just eat your damned food.

Also, about the taxes, not to enable anyone's procrastination, but it turns out they're not actually due until Tuesday, the 17th. Something about a local holiday deferring the deadline for everyone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I finally gave up on manually checking what taxcut said my taxes were and just e-filed them yesterday. Still have to mail Louisiana's, as you can apparently onlt e-file one state, but I have another month for that. And, really, how hard can it be to put them in an envelope? I should be able to manage that in the next month.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm going to Home Despot with my neighbors to get some flats and gardening supplies. Our back yard patio is a nasty disaster, and we're gonna fix it up with flowers and a new patio set, so we can actually ENJOY the backyard.

I love the whole community osmosis thing.
