I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

combine sunscreen with mosquito repellant

There was/is Bullfrog, which makes some people (my father) break out with a horrid rash.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The CDC says it reduces the efficacy of both products and the fact that sunscreen is supposed to be applied often and liberally conflicts with the understanding that the active product in repellents (DEET) should be used sparingly and not over-applied.

And also, bug repellent is supposed to go on ones clothing, not the skin, especially when containing deet.

I would think that buying airline tickets with a stolen card would make it easy to catch the thieves.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

sarameg's astronauts are kicking ass.

I hope Perkins gets a cowgurl and catches a thief.

I'm so wiped. Our little league game was exhausting. We were up 5-0, coughed up the lead, came back to tie it with the bottom of our order producing, almost gave up the lead again, hit a home run and won the game on a double play.

Emmett didn't have a great game, but he did help us get out of a jam in the bottom of the sixth to send it to extra innings. With no outs, and runners on second and third, he struck out a batter swinging. Then on a passed ball he covered the plate and tagged the runner out, and got spiked pretty good in the knee to stop the winning run.

He came out and Grady pitched. Had another passed ball and we got the third out on another play at the plate.

Top of the seventh, Dan hit a home run with his new birthday bat. Bottom of the seventh, Dan made a circus catch at short and doubled the runner off first to end the game.

Dan got the game ball.

I was so happy when we had a five run lead, and so bummed when we coughed it up, and so incredulous when we tied it and preserved it. I told Dan to hit the home run, though, so that wasn't surprising.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What should I have for dinner? Microwaved frozen pad thai? Sesame noodles made with flax seed spaghetti? Spaghetti with tomato sauce and soy balls? Leftover lentil and cauliflower curry? Throw together all the not-quite-mushy vegetables in my fridge with some tempeh and bottle thai yellow curry sauce?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too. Just weird.

So it would seem that the power in my whole building just went out.

You know, up until about noon, this was a pretty good day.

one of the curries. Use up what needs it most, frozen will stay good.

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

Just came back from getting a new motorcycle jacket. My old one gave up the ghost after 10 years and we are about to go on a week-long trip through some places with fairly extreme weather, so it was time. I did not succumb to the lure of the really bitching leather jacket I tried on and went with a practical and comfortable jacket, which was somewhat bitching itself. [link]

We got it for $140, which is even better!
