I'm ready for this thread name to die, because it ALWAYS earworms me with the New Pornographers' "The Laws Have Changed." Which is a fine song, but anything gets old fast when it's a constant earworm.
The other professor endorsed my paper!
Hil, that is excellent!

I'm very glad to hear that. It's about time you caught a break with all this.
Great news, Hil! Professors who don't answer my emails are on my List of People to Kill When I Finally Snap.
I like "brochure" for the new thread name. Or "buggered". I'm always fond of buggered.
Right at thread's end is probably the wrong time to ask food advice, but, let's say I stupidly left delivery chicken fried rice on the counter all night. Can I nuke it and eat it, or is it a Box o' Botulism now?
Tally-ho pip pip, all!
Yay, for Hil's paper getting endorsed! I know that has been a huge pain in the behind for you.
ETA:

The safe answer is to toss it. In your shoes, I'd probably feel safe to heat it on the stove till very hot and simmering it for several minutes, adding some water to keep it from turning into a crisp, and plenty of cayenne which is a fantastic way to ward off many forms of food poisoning.
that's great news Hil!
Much ~ma to your sister Connie.
We finally got a strep diagnosis and meds for hkfan, much better and less horror now.
I have a hivemind question for later ... still gathering the words.
Cash I hope you're feeling a little better?
eta: saves something for tomorrow.
I hope HKFan feels better soon. I sent her something that I hope she will love, and I suspect you will curse me for (har!). I have not been coordinated enough to get an actual card in the mail, but I might be able to do that today.
Happy birthday, Jessica!
Thanks, WindSparrow. It was less than $5, so I think I'll go with "safe" rather than "cooking".
Facebook is confused - my birthday isn't until tomorrow. But thank you!
Jess's birthday is tomorrow.
