Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have a horrible weakness for Chinese fake-meat dishes;

This is likely as not where they get their meat*: [link]

There have been vegan problems since they only translate the first 5 or 10 ingredients and sometimes egg white or milk solids come later but I've heard no of no vegetarian issues. The citrus rib tips are TO DIE FOR.

* Well, maybe not in SF, but they do ship all over the country.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Has anyone else been having horrendous problems with Yahoo Mail lately?

And can anyone explain why a webmail interface has to have a status line? You're not fucking Facebook, Yahoo Mail.

Seriously. I keep meaning to make my status "thinks Yahoo is not Facebook."

Tivo ques. I am trying to figure out how to get my programs off my current series 2 tivo before firing up my new one. Wireless connecting to my network failed b/c my airport router won't talk to my wireless adaptor with the tivo, some usb g error. To connect with wire to my airport, I would need a usb to usb connector which do not exist. Ideas?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Bills you probably don't need to save for more than the quarter. I keep bank statements for as long as I do my check stubs. And 2 yrs. returns are what you'd need to get a house-which is basically what I base my timelines on.

If the guy on the right had had a piercing, I would have thought he was SH.

Hee. That's my friend Josh.

He's - as the kids these days say - hella cute.

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

The IRS has three years to audit you from the date of your return, so keep them for at least as long.
