That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
There's one on Western for the on-ramp to 90/94 (if you're driving South on Western).
Yes! I had forgotten about that one. Don't know how as I used to drive on it a lot. There's a couple off of ....ummm...Cermak, IIRC.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Jughandles are great when they're designed well and when the people driving know how to navigate them. I can see how they'd be confusing if you're just driving through and don't know how they work, and yes, a lot of them have horrible signs, but for multi-lane roads, it lets the left lane stay as the passing lane, rather than having everyone who's turning left (and thus slowing down) going over there, too.

I just made the greatest lentil soup ever. Basically, just chopped up one or two of all the kinds of vegetables I had in my fridge and cooked with lentils and vegetable broth, bay leaves and thyme. I think I put in onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, parsnips, leeks, potato, and kale. Salt and pepper and a splash of lemon juice at the end. These flavors just work together perfectly. And I seriously doubt I could ever make it again, since I really have no idea how much of each vegetable I used. I think one carrot, one parsnip, half an onion, two cloves garlic, one or maybe two baby bell peppers, one potato, and a handful or two of chopped leeks and maybe six or so leaves of kale? I've made lentil vegetable soups like this before, just putting in whatever I had, but never had it turn out this good.

I know what they are going for, but how are we getting two one-time payments of half of a lump sum?
So the question is "one lump or two?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, is there any way that (*)(*) on the internet doesn't mean boobs?? [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can someone please tell my cat that she can be any place in the universe except on/in front of my laptop?

I just got the worst raise I've ever gotten. Everyone did. I'm glad we got them at all, but yeah, market sucking. At least I got the raise that went with my promotion LAST year. I shudder to think what it would have been this year.
