On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

This morning O.livia climbed up on the counter and created a concoction of olive oil and raw sugar while I was brushing my teeth.

I have to wonder what she thought she was going to do with this concoction.

Olivia: Now, if I can just find some kerosene, I think I may have a workable napalm-like substance...where's that brother of mine...?

Now, see, I was thinking body scrub. She has a future as an aesthetician with a bottom like a baby's...

Actually Leif has been pretty nondestructive for awhile. Maybe he's passed the torch, um, so to speak.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Her brother was off removing the mini memory disc from my mobile phone--which I still haven't found.

Damn, I should have saved that mess and tried it as a body scrub!

I buy paper towels in bulk now.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday, ita! May it be totally pain free.

ita shares a birthday with 3 members of my family. My sister, niece, and a cousin. Fine day for humans.

I'm trying to not think about the election process. It would be much more pleasant for me if it was a 6 week process. My vote in the primary apparently won't count, but it will happen anyway. I think Hillary is still strongly favored in Florida. (don't watch local news)

My GF is a huge Guliani fan. She's a former Brooklyn person. (well, Brooklyn forever really) I told her I just don't understand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Yes. And our answer was so much better....

There are a number of really great healthy snacking suggestions in response to her post today:

Thanks! I really need to start bringing in edamame. I enjoy it when I go out with sushi-loving friends (not being a sushi-eater myself, I fill up on edamame and tempura), but it just doesn't occur to me to buy it at the store.

DJ, I still haven't gotten an email from you, but sometimes gmail is loopy.

Their answer is just gross.
