So without the discoveries made by today's Nobel Prize winners, I wouldn't have this career.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
has anyone had success using a netipot witht heir kid. A woman I know from the YMCA uses one with her 6 year old. I haven't tried with mac yet because I cannot see it going well, but if your kid is willing, it might be a good way to clear out a lot.
Jesse, Sunday would work best for me. I just remembered that Saturday I will be taking two boys to the movies.

You may not like Snot Miser, but you'd really hate his brother, Puke Miser.
And their brother IBS Miser can go fuck himself....
They're all named Tino, aren't they?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I doubt I could get O to cooperate, msbelle. He's downright freaky about some things--I still can't get an oral temperature reading from him--I have to go axillary for him. I tried putting some moisturizer on the sore spot under his nose (chapped from all the wiping) and he nearly lost it.
I haven't been able to use a saline spray since he was wee. I hope when he gets a little older, he'll be less testy about sensory issues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In many ways, Japan is the coolest country on Earth. Completed Gigantor giant robot goes on display in Japan
Standing a full 60 feet tall and weighing about 50 tons, the robot statue cost 135 million yen ($1.5 million) to build as a tourist attraction and tribute to the character's creator Mitsuteru Yokoyama.

I'm not a PB&Jer either. My preferred sandwiches in school were tuna fish. Preferably with a cracker inside for a little crunch.
My preferred sandwich nowadays is ham and cheese, or a good egg salad. Mmmm, egg salad. The only way I can stand to eat eggs, except in an omlet with--lots of ham and cheese.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I still like a good PB&J, but it has to be grape jam (which has more flavor), and something like Freihoffer's Oat Nut bread, which has taste and fiber. And the PB must be Skippy Creamy.
Hmmm, I may know what I'm having for lunch.

Take A Deep Breath...And Join The Slow Movement
So by now you know that Arianna's first Huffington Post Book Club pick is Carl Honoré's In Praise of Slowness. First published in 2004, it's an engaging exploration of the Slow Movement, and it encourages readers to take some time instead of speeding and multi-tasking through one stressful project to the next. A journalist, Honoré offers a detailed report of the Slow Movement's role in every aspect of life, from food to sex to relationships to work. The idea of slowing down isn't new, either. Great thinkers and writers have been talking about how important it is to take time for yourself and for reflection for a long time.
Here are some quotes from the post:
"Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it." -- Soren Kierkegaard
"The time has come to challenge our obsession with doing everything more quickly." -- Carl Honoré
"Slow down, you move too fast." -- Simon and Garfunkel's 59th Street Bridge Song
"the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." -- Henry David Thoreau
"Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down." -- A.E. Newman
"I always lived under the mantra that the fast will beat the big ... but the slow will beat the fast." -- Geir Berthelsen, the founder of the World Institute of Slowness
"Fast isn't turning us into Masters of the Universe, It's turning us into Cheech and Chong." -- Carl Honoré
"In this media-drenched, data-rich, channel-surfing, computer-gaming age, we have lost the art of doing nothing, of shutting out the background noise and distractions, of slowing down and simply being alone with our thoughts." -- Carl Honoré
"There are three things I take slowly: slow food, slow burn and my slow husband." -- Heather Miller Podesta
"The pace of life feels morally dangerous to me."-- Richard Ford, novelist
"The first principle of all action is leisure." -- Aristotle
"To do two things at once is to do neither." -- Publilius Syrus
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life... and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." -- Henry David Thoreau
"Time is on my side." -- The Rolling Stones
