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

At least I have jambalaya to make up for the burned arm. The arm is starting to blister, I think.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ignoring water bug talk. Shudder

We went to the movie's this afternoon to avoid the snow, but it is still falling.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Jambalaya sounds like good recompense for a burned arm, Hil.

Frankenbuddha, ~ma for your landlord.

Trust my rage

Ellie, just now: Nutritious doesn't work for my tummy; just candy or cake.

I haven't been swayed, but I'm laughing inside because I totally agree.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

You really want to die of some easily treatable plague because the poor, useless, unemployed drunks can't afford to go to the doctor before they spread it to the rest of the city?"

My basic argument. it isn't a civil right, but health care is a basic need for a civilized society. And Seriously, if all the poor people die off, who is going to clean you office.

I'm so not going to go there with deserved diseases -- asthma , sorry Nothing I could have done to prevent that - because now that I know that I have it, guess who has had it all her life.

And diabetes -- I was diagnosed after a year in which I was working out, eating properly , and had lost 20 pounds.

And then I'll get into the next questions -- how many hours do people work in thier offices . 50 - 70 if they are around here. Plus hour commutes each way. How much time do they have to exercise , grocery shop, and cook?

I'm the bug killer in our house. But the only big bugs in Ca seem to have 8 legs. But the other bugs meaning ants, fleas, and flies ( only in season ) , come in very large numbers.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hi all, I found it's time I updated my resume, and Andi and I would like to have other eyes upon it.

If anyone would like to help out and do a once-over, I can send it in Word format. Just email me at dcjensen at gmail dot com.

ETA: Still employed, just...time.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Hil, you might want to put ice on your burn instead of just a cold compress.

Once I found out that most of the damage happens after the burn, as the heat keeps moving through the tissues, I started applying ice to my burns, and have found it to be really effective.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yikes! 40+ posts on big icky bugs!!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ice is not recommended for burns. It can cause frostbite. You don't want anything cooler than cold water.
