Officemate thinks you are as interested in the minutiae of other religions as he is.

He sounds like the sort of dude who'd hurt himself and tell me how eye-opening it all is, and, Tep, I don't mean porn. So I am annoyed with him in absentia from the bottom of my shikse heart. Dude, we're not all your object lessons, k? Signed, America's Diversity xxoo

Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

I still find it odd that the Bible specifically states that the two bears that came out of the woods and attacked the children were females.

I always wondered if that was in the original, or added by the translating-for-agenda team in the early church.

ETA: Context, and the fact I was catching up a bit...

Toddson, should you ever wish to break our lease, you have a good compelling health hazard to cite.

Yick.

chopped mango
red onion
jalapeño (ribs and seeds are the hottest part)
cilantro
fresh lime juice

Optionally I drizzle a little olive oil over it, add diced avocado (omg good with the scallops), tomatoes, cucumbers, jicama or anything that grabs my eye.

I didn't mention this in Press, but when I talked to my mom she was just going to call her dentist as she had chipped a tooth on some hard candy. Argh.

She has good coverage, but still on a late Friday afternoon? bad time to try and get in at a dentist. I encouraged her to try and contact them, so that they can at least see if they can check it out.

Another reason I may be going to hell: You guys know about the transcription project I'm doing...discrimination diaries...I've done about fifty pages so far(yay me!) but I may have to stop soon, because most of the entries concern the summer of '88, and suddenly I hear Rain Man's voice talking about "Serious injuries...1988," and suddenly nothing I'm copying looks very different from that.

My neighbor issues aren't as gross as Todd's, but my new neighbor smokes like a chimney to the point where my bedroom, which shares a wall with said neigbor, reeks of cig. smoke. I wake up every morning with sinus issues and coughing. I spoke to the apt. manager, but there's not much they can do other than ask to smoke less (yeah, right).

Do y'all know of something that will cut the smell from my apartment?

ChiKat, can you seal up anything between your apartment and his? like electrical outlets and such?

I'm attempting to add some flavor to this chickpea salad without actually doing much more work, like chopping or grating vegetables. I tried onion powder, and it seems to work pretty well.
