Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
TiVo dumped me into Till Debt Do U$ Part. Can they have a segment on that show where I go and slap around the participants? On what planet do you live $50,000 in debt and spend $200 on clothes and $60 on lottery tickets on your credit card PER WEEK? On what planet do you need the TV lady to tell you you're overspending by $3K every month? Or that it's reasonable to run and spend money as the TV lady is coming up the walk.
I don't actually care if they shape up. I want to see them crash and burn when I think about it.
I think my wheat deprivation is really getting to me. I would kill a person for a pizza right now.
But still. They are brats.

I'd pay to see that, ita.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What's a good substitution for sherry vinegar?
I have balsamic, red & white wine vinegars, and some actual sherry (I think I have sweet and dry).

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there, not just moms with kidlets but pet moms and surrogate moms too.

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there, not just moms with kidlets but pet moms and surrogate moms too.
Heartily seconded. There are some pretty awesome moms here!
When I picked Bartleby up from his keeper following my retreat today, the keeper had flowers and a card for me, from him...with an ink paw print. She'd also taken him to petsmart so he could pick out his own toy. So sweet.
Bboy was so freaked out by the 'oh my god I thought you'd never come back' when I got to him, that he actually made himself sick. Poor boo. Now he's crashed out on the floor with a very possessive, "MY floor. Don't ever make me leave it again" stance.
The retreat was the best I've ever given and now I'm going to join Bartleby in a power nap.
Happy day moms!

The status is NOT quo.
not just moms with kidlets but pet moms and surrogate moms too.Aw, thanks Burrell. Mother's Day hasn't always been an easy holiday for me the older I've gotten, so this means a lot.

I wish I had new clothes, but apparently not enough to actually go shopping. Hmph.
If the weather would just get reliably warmer, I'd probably get over this, because I could put other stuff into the rotation!
Also, I still can't make myself do the pieces of work I couldn't make myself do all week. Blarg!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Mothers Day!!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's raining here. Bleh. I was going to go to the grocery store.
Still haven't done any work on my thesis this weekend. Don't think I'm going to, either.
