ok, a big sign with pictures of LOL Cats all over it that says OH HAI GUGL!

This? Is brilliant!

Today's lunch was uninspired--the cafeteria just had Chinese that wasn't too appealing, and I just had the salad bar yesterday, so it was chicken salad sandwich today with an apple and an orange for afternoon snacks.

Do people think the website PimpThisBum.com is insulting or exploitive?

[link]

It's the story of a couple of people helping one guy. A homeless advocate is dismayed, because it's not the kind of thing that could help very many people. So what?, I say. It doesn't have to be all big programs. The basis of charity is what one person can do for another person. It's counter productive to discourage this kind of thing because it won't help enough people. And if the bum of the story isn't feeling very exploited--and he certainly seems intelligent enough to be able to tell--then I don't think anyone else should be getting all sensitive and outraged on his behalf.

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

then I don't think anyone else should be getting all sensitive and outraged on his behalf.

but that is the basis for many good kerfuffles - being outraged on behalf of someone else.

I have SUCH an Obamacrush. How freaky it is to be all goofy-smile over the President!

Totally freaky, yet you are in good company.

I think my nail polish obsession finally tipped over into scary. I just sent email to a style columnist giving her (better) advice on some of the reader questions she'd answered last week.

That I know where someone can find a discontinued shade of a polish I don't actually like in a formula I hate is somehow wrong.

You are a total freak, I'll bet you don't like cheese either.

I'm being foiled (I think) messed with by our fancy new copier/printer/scanner/fax/coffemaker/microwave/vacuum. I'm trying to send the agreement to the change in price in and I follow all the steps but there's never a point at which it tells me it suceeded. And it is really quiet, so you can't tell it is working. Feh.

eta: realtor called to tell me she got it.

Our wings are not tired.

Ms. Marcontell, you're the perfect person to ask: what do I do with old nail polish? I have about 20 bottles, and I rarely wear polish anymore. They used to be stuffed into a linen closet, but since I've moved I need to figure out what to do with them. They're toxic, right? In that I can't just be throwing them into the trash. And some aren't even opened. What a waste.

Obama is foamy. And I'm confident that he's way smarter than I am. Makes a nice change from "Die, you bastard, die!" like with the last guys.
