But...but...no opposable thumbs! How do they control robots?
What do you think all the batting around of mice/tinfoil balls/jewelry is practice for??
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Dude, my cat scares the bejeesus out of herself while running after a toy mouse and knocking over a coffee mug. I am SO not worried about world domination. Dumb as a rock.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For New Year's Day, I made pomegranate mimosas with an Italian sparkling red. They were Teh Yum, and not at all too sweet.

I just thought "I bet Atwater's has chili cheese bread sometimes" and then called them to confirm.
leaping natter to say - lisah is awesome. Atwater's is truly good with bread... and yet? would never have come into my brain. I miss the all-natural bread shop on Eastern Ave that made the yummiest beer bread and 7-grain, and was trying to think of that name - but Lisah came up with a Real Live place.
OK - help! I made a good white bean chili. it was good until I added too much (tired reader) ground cloves and ZYUCK! now I need an antidote - a sweetener? Something - because it is _almost_ gumbo bad now, but not quite so good. and that, my friends = ass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not saying sparkling red is always too sweet! Just that once!
Sox, I don't know. Do you have more beans?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Happy Birthday, msbelle!
ND, there is so much truth in what you said about work. Thanks. I needed to hear that more that you know.
I have seen a glimmer at the end of the tunnel with my job. There are several leads on opportunities and a fairly sure thing...if I wait 2 years for it to all come together. Can I do 2 more years with the Draconian Dictator?

I love Bob Herbert- so much so I nearly called him Bob Hebert, who I also love but for something completely different.

Because books.

Dude. That's ... maternal dedication. Or something a little crazier.
