Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks Tamara!

ok, I added all the ingrediants in and then factored 1/16th of the measurement for each serving. counting calories is going to test some rarely used math.

Perkins, the very top of the screen on your monitor should be at eye level.

For whatever it is worth the ergonomics expert I consulted after I got my RSI said 1/3rd of the screen should be above eye level, 2/3rds below it - that imaginary absolutely level lines from the center of my eyeballs to the center of the screen should hit exactly one third below the top of the screen. Dunno if this was specific to me or general advice.

does baking alter caloric info?

Only if the food actually catches on fire.

What I've read is similar to what TB says: somewhere between a third and a half from the top. The main thing is that you're looking straight ahead at the screen when you're working, not up or down.

If you have bifocals, does that change the recommendation? Not that I do, but I'm guessing if you have to look through the bottom of your glasses to see the screen...well, maybe you could just get reading glasses or something, but.

I used to hold my head at an angle because I wore trifocals, and it gave me a very painful neck. I had the middle part of the prescription made into computer glasses.

ION, why the heck is Laura Bush giving the press update on Burma? Has she done this before?

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

This Monday refuses to give in. I don't know how I shall survive doing data entry for the next three and a half hours. My brain is melting out of my ear. *sob*

Make it go by faster?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wasn't at work today, and now I'm scared I'm going to have the day you all have been having today tomorrow. I'm also scared that it's going to be one of those five-days-of-work-in-four-days kinds of weeks. Great.

I'm back in my own home, and I really need to go to the drugstore, but now I really don't want to.

For God's sake Jesse don't leave the house. Take it from those of us who have already made that mistake.
