Hivemind question: Joe is convinced that tonight's dinner (really yummy chicken posole) must cool before it goes in the fridge. I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?

As I understand it, BITD when an Ice Box was a big box with a chunk of ice you let the food cool before you put it away. This became unnecessary once the things were plugged in, but everyone kept doing it because their parents did it.

I gotsa Devi curled up with me. Loki decided not to be an asshole to her tonight and is curled up upstairs. So she's occasionally snuggling with me. I'd missed my bitchkitty in the evening.

Watching Fox News hurts my brain. Apparently Obama's health care plan will mean that patient care will no longer be decided by the patient's doctor, most doctors are OUTRAGED at the plan, Obama's staff can't use Google, all you have to do to treat uninsured patients is make them pay a doctor $79 a month for unlimited check-ups, and one woman owes her life to the current health care plan.

My grandmother was watching Fox News when she had the stroke she never recovered from. I don't entirely think that that's a coincidence.

egad -t. I knew Fox News was evil but... dang.

I recognize that that's probably unfair, but the thought remains. I come over a little Inigo Montoya sometimes...

An awesome way to start your day - people are amazing, and Bobby McFerrin especially so. [link]

Yawn.... morning Buffistas. I discovered My So Called Life on Hulu last night. Needless to say, I was up too late.

Hey, It's Friday! Before work can swallow me again today, let me ask

What are people doing this weekend?

Also, Cashmere, I namechecked you in a story on LJ.

Excellent! I'll check it out.

We're going to a Halloween party for the kids at our gym, buying pumpkins and carving them this weekend.
