There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have bright red toenails, Cowboys win, and now Iron Chef special. Whee!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

United Airways sucks. Again with no seat assignments, just attempts to upsell me actual legroom or priority boarding. The overselling of seats and attempts to squeeze more money out of everyone are heinous.

This made me CRAZY last time I flew with them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yay for msbelle's Sunday!

Add me to the list of sicklings. Just a cold, but my lungs are so congested it's like breathing through a wet, wool blanket.

I've made a big pot of Jack Devine stew, and a pot of the veggie chili for JZ and we're getting prepped for Matilda's first day of pre-school and Emmett's return to school after vacation.

I have to rouse them both and get them out of the house by 7am tomorrow, drive Emmett to school, then turn around and commute back across the Bay Bridge, find parking and get Matilda to school. Where I will spend the first day with her.

It's actually good I spend the first day there since JZ will be doing almost all the dropoff and pickup henceforth - it being at her workplace.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does anyone know if you can substitute a white sauce for cream of mushrrom canned soup in a casserole recipe? I am assuming yes, as I do it for tuna casserole and everything works out.

ETA: I hope everyone gets better soon!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't see why not, Sophia.

My ears are so blocked, I don't even know.

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

I would assume that would work, Sophia, as long as the water content was similar.

I feel kind of silly watching the Iron Chef special while eating spaghetti with jarred sauce.

hip deep in pie

On the sick front, my throat pustules have almost completely disappeared. I think it was my rigorous gargling

Steph, what you have sounds a lot like what I had that hit me when I was in NY. I was convinced while I was sick it was just a cold, but since then I'm thinking it was H1N1.

Well, that would be fancy, anyway.

I'm firmly of the belief that if you're going to feel really bad, it should sound bad as well. That's why I was so pissed when a doctor told me I probably didn't have the Real Flu that one time.

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?

I'm on the tail end of the sick. I started prednisone right before Christmas and I think that kept it from getting horrible.
