I'd be happy to see 8 more episodes of Jericho to tidy up storylines and create some sort of ending.
Also - unsuccessful shows on major networks have lots more viewers/crazy fans than unsuccessful shows on, say, the CW or SciFi.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Jericho-fans, It looks like the nut-sending folks were successful
Ha! Hilarious.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That sucks, askye -- that job's been good for you. But so is getting better benefits and a long-term happy niche, too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee! Congrats, Robin! I am envious of your biblical perfection! Ha. I've never said that to anyone before.
But, also, many many thanks to Daisy! Because although my credit score is not perfect, it is much better, thanks to her excellent advice, and I am much more educated and confident going into our loan application process.
I am also shaky and excited, because I just sent the SO off to the planning & zoning office, and I am proud of myself because I actually knew where all the relevant and necessary documents were.
Also, hee, about the nuts. And you know which nuts I mean.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, Fiona! That helps a bunch. And thanks for the info on pounds.

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
Costco has coffins.
And you buy six at a time connected by a big plastic handle?
I get three personal days, six sick days, and my vacation days jump from 15 to 20 once I hit two years. Oh, and if I need more time off (or before my time has accrued) they let me have it, they just don't pay me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is the real benefit of working for oneself. Total self-set schedule. Of course, I have to get out there and pound the pavement in order to get paid at all, so there's a drawback. But still, office hours and days? Totally up to me.

So it looks like we've got a severe thunderstorm watch in Central & Southern New England today, including a chance of large hail and damaging winds (more damaging with the large hail I would venture to guess).
Better break out the football helmets, New England-istas - it's Snowpocalypse II: The Iceball Strikes Back.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So it looks like China is taking the pet food and toothpaste scandals pretty seriously:
When the former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was caught violating the law, he was charged with two misdemeanors. When the former director of China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) was convicted on corruption charges, he was sentenced to death.
Zheng Xiaoyu and his family and associates allegedly took bribes amounting to more than five million yuan, about $650,000 in U.S. terms.
