This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy Birthday DCJ! Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

Happy Halloween!

I have a stovetop espressomaker thing like this:http://www.laprimashops.com/Bialetti-Moka-Express-Stovetop-Espresso-Maker-12-Cup_p_35-764.html but mine cost $6.00 in the Hispanic section of the grocery store, and only makes 3 cups. But preferable to drip coffee for the price, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Daniel! Happy Anniversary, House of Reason!

I didn't want you to go either!

Ditto that.

I once woke up in a house with no way to make anything but instant coffee. It was traumatic.

I do the kettle on the stove+ cone filter. But I only drink one cup a day.

I swear, I have something like 3 french presses, which, great when I have company, but why do Ihave 3?!! I didn't buy a single one!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I almost never have coffee at home anymore. Extra sleep is just too tempting. The free office coffee is also really spoiling - if/when I change jobs I really hope they have similar machines.

ION - I am taking a half day today and really need to get moving so SOMETHING is done, a wasted day is not good..

I have a wee drip coffee maker at home that I love because it has a clock on it and the coffee can be ready when I get up in the morning to go out with the dog. At 6 a.m. I'm not thinking so much about quality as about just getting enough caffeine in my system to function.

The website says that the puppies turned 3 weeks old on the 28th.

I wish that the link would come back.

Want to see puppies.

I think the puppy cuteness starts at 8:30 pacific, sumi.

I wish I had ink in the printer. And rugs from the Beduin market. And paetince. And the 3rd season of Dr. Who on the VOD.

Thanks, Sparky.

I guess you've got to give the Big Giant Hand time to sleep.
