But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

What's all this, then?

I knew you were secretly Wallace. Where are you hiding Gromit?

He COULD secretly be a member of Monty Python instead.

Anybody hear Fresh Air? There was a woman who was talking about overcoming her fear of math, after dropping out of high school and finally passing Finite Math in college? Please to help me figure out her name and the name of the book?

Kat, a friend of a friend at NPR says she couldn't find this either and that it might be local station content not licensed by the national-NPR. So you should call the local station.

If you do figure it out, my math prof sister would be interested!

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

When I moved, Lori helped me haul my bed and mattress in first. It's always the first thing I do, get my bed moved and made so there's ONE THING done. The most important thing. The thing I will pass out in.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm with Allyson on moving in the beds first.

Also? Happy birthday ND

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

See, I always hook up stereo or a radio first, so I have music to work to.

The movers assemble my bed for me before they leave, but I'll leave it unmade in favor of unpacking my books first. That way, I get rid of almost half of my boxes and I feel very productive! Then I'll make the bed.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

have a box with all the things you'll need for the first day or two: sheets, towels, soap, toilet paper, a light bulb or two, possibly paper plates/plastic flatware.

Kleenex, paper towels, snacks, extension cord, flashlight, knife, scissors, coffee pot, coffee.

If I unpacked my books first, it would be a couple of days before I got to bed. I get sheets on the bed and get the coffee pot set up.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday Drew!!!

I've managed to store almost all the boxes I want to keep in my closet. You know, for the next time I do this.

You can store those in my garage if you'd like. We can put them in the Subaru tonight after dinner.
