Ouch, brenda!! I'm wincing in sympathy right now.
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You also have a good friend who famously loves cupcakes, so my guess is they won't be sad or uneaten for long.
That cat looks so much like a beloved, now dead, kitty friend. Makes me kind of sniffy.
Yikes, Brenda!
I tried to get a shrimp wrap at Hot Wings to Go today, but they didn't have any wrap bread and so it became a po' boy, and not exactly the light, calorie conscious lunch I was angling for. Also, they included what looked like 2 lbs. of french fries on the side. I countered by defrosting my Mardi Gras king cake at work today, thus ensuring that I'd only eat one slice and the rest will be eaten by my snack-friendlier co-workers while I'm on vacation.
Ah well, at least now I know what to order if I haven't eaten in a week and only have seven bucks for food.
Didn't mean to make you all sad, Burrell! Have a puppy--it'll make you feel better!
Or maybe some stackable frogs?

When the Army Corps of Engineers solicited bids for drainage pumps for New Orleans, it copied the specifications — typos and all — from the catalog of the manufacturer that ultimately won the $32 million contract, a review of documents by The Associated Press found.
While it may not be a violation of federal regulations to adopt a company's technical specifications, it is frowned on, especially for large jobs like the MWI contract, because it could give the impression the job was rigged for the benefit of a certain company, contractors familiar with Corps practices say.
You think?
Oh no, Kathy, it was nice to be reminded of such a sweet kitty.
Dana, that makes me feel all GRRRR! I mean, I know by now how the world works, but that doesn't make it right.
Assholes. I also notice that their expert who says it's not a big deal wrote a book about which the summary says this, "The focus is selling, not how to comply with federal red tape and administer federal contracts."
