Cut the bananas tomorrow (maybe apples?), dip in a little lemon juice, easy peasy.
Come to think of it, my Mother's yogurt use may be serving a brownification deterrent function. Huh.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Someone should invent a phone that will hear me yelling "I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming" while it's ringing and tell my caller not to hang up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You answer the phone? There's your problem.
My sister is always making little passive-aggressive remarks about how she calls me all the time and I never call her. I just left a message on her answering machine pointing out that I do call her, but she's never home, she doesn't turn on her cell phone, and she never checks her messages. In fact, her recorded greeting on her cell phone is, "Don't leave a message, I never check." What. Ever.

I don't always answer the phone, but when I, for example, hear my husband through the answering machine saying "Pick up" in an aggravated voice and I'm on the other end of the house, the phone should be able to transmit my intention to, in fact, pick up.

My wedding was $1000. That was the sum total of money us and our folks could come up with. It was fine, and better than most.
Of course, I just sat through a new-employee investment seminar about how to put money away for your child's wedding. @@@ (yes, I'm rolling 3 of my eyes at that).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do you put money away for your child's wedding before or after you put money away for their college education?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Probably depends if they're a girl or boy.

I'm supposed to make one for a birthday dinner tomorrow, and I can't get ahold of my mother to get the awesome coconut-laced one.
I don't suppose your mother's is Five-Cup Salad.
1 cup sour cream
1 cup unsweetened pineapple chunks
1 cup mandarin oranges
1 cup sweetened coconut
1 cup marshmallows
I use low-fat sour cream or yogurt. With everything else, you really can't tell.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
So, I'm watching the end of Two and a Half Men, and the Tivo stops on the little end bit where Chuck Lorre writes something or other, and it says
November 8, 2006. I'm relieved that he's reached across the aisle to fight global warming. I'm delighted that he's worked to reduce the cost of minimum wage, reduce the cost of pharmaceutical drugs, improve the infrastructure, and bring accountablilty to the school system. My problem,and let me state for the record that i's my problem, not his, is simply this: Whenever I hear the governor of California speak, I find myself nervously looking around for a train that will take me to Poland.
MESSED UP. I mean, the man was born Charles Levine, and probably Jewish, but he was born in 1952. Now, God knows that I'm no fan of Arnold, but that's a horrible thing to say about the guy just because he has an Austrian accent.

MESSED UP
Yeah, but possibly sincere. If Lorre drives a Mercedes or BMW, though, I call shenanigans.
