I had a post to Kristin but I think it got ated. Sending all positive, miracle thoughts to your student and her family. What an awful situation.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

wrt dogs and kids. When my sister & hubby got a stray (dobbie/Ger Shep mutt we think), she was clearly skittish. I met the dog 3rd ish day they had her, while at a park. And this 6ish year old kid came RUNNING up doing that "ooo doggie" rebel yell thing. Dan, bless his heart, grabbed the dog by the collar/scruff of neck and held her firm behind him while pulling a Heisman on the kid and all but face planted her into the blanket. The parents finally caught up and were like "huh" and kinda heard the clue phone ringing and said "ask the man if you can pet the cute dog" and Dan was like "We just rescued her from the pound. She bites. I wouldn't advise it". The body language could not have been clearer, yet they still wanted to ask to pet. That family is waiting for a Darwin Award, I tell you what.

Compassionately intolerant
Dogs on retractable leashes tend to come with owners on cell phones.
That sound you just heard was my head exploding. A world of THIS.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Miracle-Ma for the family, Kristin.
I just got apple cranberry stuffed chicken breasts from TJ, but I haven't cooked them yet. I love to use the artichoke spread as a sauce on artichoke ravioli. It's totally delicious.

I ate TJ's artichoke spread for dinner the other night, on sesame crackers. I have no regrets.

Oh! In their frozen section, TJs has salmon stuffed with a crab-based stuffing thingy. I make it all the time -- really good. Grab some frozen veggies and possibly rice or just some good bread, and you're set.

I'm so sad our closest TJ's closed. Their enchiladas rocked.

It must be a Monday after a weekend of being sick with little complete rest, because the littlist things are really pissing me off.
- If you are going to make a bazillion copies of a bazillion things, don't walk back to the copier a half hour later and wonder why it hasn't finished the job. The copier ran out of paper! And don't yell at me for coming in and interrupting your copying because you were no where to be found.
- If a package says "From (Omnis_Audis)" and it's sitting at reception, it is waiting to be picked up. Please stop putting it in my mailbox. DHL will not look for it there.
