Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I can't believe there's someone who got paid to write this headline.

I saw an article on that, but the headline lacked the specific dollar amount of the warning....

So I was checking to see if Johnny Carson is dead (he is), and he was married four times. His first three wives were named Joan, Joanne, and Joanna. I guess he finally learned his lesson with number 4, Alexis.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That does sound adorable! I love the image I get from the second paragraph. Cute babies will unite us all!

As for your link...Gah! Have those women never seen The Vagina Monologues?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My mom's last husband, Wayne, had a second wife named Kay. My mom's full name is Kathleen, but she always went by Kay until she moved east, when she decided to go with the full name for some reason. It worked out when she married Wayne--no one has ever confused her with Wife #2.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Dana, have you been overdosing on the tylenol? Have you been taking it for days? Are you taking any other drugs that might effect the liver.? How much is a drink with dinner?

I do know someone that had a sister that ODed on Tylenol. 1) She was taking other drugs that made it easier for her to forget what she had taken . and it was days and yes, she is recovering quite nicely.

I suspect that if the last time you are fine - esp if you have only been taking it today.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

If I had a couple doses of Tylenol today (7AM, 11AM), can I have a drink with dinner, or will my liver explode?

If your last dose was at 11AM, I think you're probably good for a drink at dinner. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but you're probably not going to be drinking anything hardcore, and you already know that you shouldn't take more Tylenol after having a drink with dinner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some of the biggest and meanest krav instructors (uh, male) get all fluffy-eyed when someone brings a baby around. But the BEST is the surly guy who swears he hates kids (and who knows, he might), but who this one adorably chubby kid will reach out for. He holds her with this "Okay, but if there's any funny business we're done." Total Kindergarten Cop/The Pacifier business.

Uh, not that I've seen either picture.

We've lost a good one. Madeleine L'Engle dies at 88

She created some amazing stuff. It really held up well over time. I remember when I first read A Wrinkle in Time, I was about 8 or 9, and I marveled at the "big kids". I read it again as an adult, and I loved it just as much, except my heart went out to these wee little heroes.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Dana, have you been overdosing on the tylenol? Have you been taking it for days?

Nope. Four doses in the past 24 hours, which is under (or at) the maximum.

Are you taking any other drugs that might effect the liver.?

I don't think so.

How much is a drink with dinner?

A margarita. It'll be mostly sugar.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but you're probably not going to be drinking anything hardcore

You don't know me! I could be drinking hardcore!

Yes, okay, it'll be a peach margarita. But at happy hour prices.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Tonight is the series finale of Kim Possible! I'm way more excited about this than I should be.

Me too! I really want to see the final episode, but I hate that the series is over. Of course, we weren't even supposed to get this season, so I guess we're lucky.
