Green card is ten years, I think. Msbelle, I'm curious as to how it works with Mac. Is he automatically a US Citizen because you are?
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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

not your mom's socks.
did anyone listen to Huckabee's speech last night? (was traipsing BBC while it was on)
freaked me right the hell out.
And if *I've* thought of it, you know that the McCain camp has already thought of it.
we will be on the next plain to Auckland. Watch us flee fly.

Good lord. A tanker truck full of chocolate has apparently shut down the Chicago Skyway.
Steph is me WRT McCain/Huck. Worst case scenario, and looking ever more likely.
[ETA - and man, doesn't that dual citizenship feel nice right about now?]

With all the biblical allusions? It make me think 2 things: (1) ::barf:: and (b) damn, he's got a HUGE ego to be making those kinds of comparisons.

All I can picture is Homer Simpson and the sugar truck that crashed, so he took all the sugar home and made a big pile in his backyard.

Punishingly Intricate
My new niece, Esther Mary, was finally born at 8:30 pm last night! My SiL ended up having to have a c-section but she's doing well and the baby was great. She was just chillaxin' in there.

Can I come with you? Auckland sounds like fun.
Wow. I have an actual snow day today. I heard that classes were cancelled pretty early this morning but I found out around 7:30 that essential personnel only 'til noon and after that - nothing. And I'm not essential personnel. So, I've been sitting on my sofa, knitting and watching Take Home Chef On Demand. It's very relaxing.

I hate wintry mix. HATE.
I love chicken thighs, I use them more than any other meat. They are inexpensive and flavorful. I can give you a million recipes. What’s in your fridge right now?
I love chicken thighs too, and as they are inexpensive, I will probably be cooking with them a lot more in the future! I just haven't done much cooking with them as of yet, so I feel like I need more information. Would love your million recipes.
Um. In my fridge? Not a ton. Pine nuts, celery, onion, green onion, carrots, broccoli, heavy cream, butter, tomatoes, peas, edamame. I also have potatoes and garlic and a variety of pastas.
Got any recipes for soup/stew? I realized upon looking at my credit card statement that I only can afford one more grocery bill this month, so I'm trying to make stuff stretch.

I don't know about all that, Steph, I'm having a hard time letting anything scary through.
My choices last night were between a black man and a woman, and they both have a great shot at being the POTUS.
I got chills looking at the ballot. And more so looking at the numbers of white red staters who came out fighting for Obama.
Mostly, even if I try, I can't shake the feeling of hope that brings, and the very simple idea that I can again feel pride instead of shame every time my President opens his (or her!!!!) mouth.
If I think about it even a tiny bit, I believe that an Obama/Edwards ticket is unbeatable.
