Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

In addition to reheating, I use the microwave to heat up frozen food (like TJs mac and cheese--mmm!) and, often, steam veggies. I use it all the time.

Speaking of dinner, it's getting to be about that time, isn't it? I should probably get started soon, just in case DH arrives home with a cranky little girl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're just pissed because you don't have a robot bartender.

I want a robot maid! Where's my Rosie, I ask you??

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Especially the jump suit with racing stripes.
Hey, it's my casual Sunday wear! At least during racing season. I have the hot pink in satin for more formal races.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My dinner tonight is a mango-pineapple smoothie. No microwave involved.

My supper was Lasagna, reheated in the microwave.

I want one too. I also envisioned a series of chutes, or if you will, tubes, in my future house that I could drop things in and they would miraculously end up in their place.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

robot bartender wouldn't be bad.

I use my microwave a lot - but you'll forgot the most important reason for it. to heat up the been filled thing for cramp relief.

As I was walking home today I got a sudden understanding of sweat suit alternative. - it is any clothing that is very comfortable , but looks better than a sweat suit - something that can be worn to the store - like the 3 or 4 dress I have that have no waist and fall to my ankles - comfy, good looking in the neat sense of the word, but make me laugh when people call me dressed up when I wear them

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here you go, Sue. Cantilivered Skyways of the future (many involving tubes)

I love retro futures. We'll be saved by giant highways. They'll make the Grand Canyon even cooler.

I'm pretty sure the gimlet of the future is made with synthetic lime protein chains. Or something. Lime Tang, maybe.

Thanks David. I want these tubes in my house. Like dumbwaiters, except that things get put away.

My sweatsuit alternitive is usually a pair of baggy green cargo pants and several layers of t-shirts. I'm not sure it's an improvement on the sweatsuit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Striped jumpsuit is the sweatsuit alternative of the future past.
