This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I am at home until the 24th, then away till the 26th. Then off again on the 28th until Jan 7th. But the post office will keep parcels. And I assume I haven't been sent any hamsters (tho' I wouldn't say no).

I'll be gone from Dec. 22-26. Amyth, who will be watching my cat, will surely rescue any packages that are sitting forlornly on my porch, but if there's a hamster in one of them the cat will probably open it before I get back.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just realized that this is the last Saturday before xmas and I still don't have my secret gift together yet! Must bribe sister to mail it this week, so maybe will get there on time!

Quick post to my giftee, I must apologize that your gift is maybe getting in the mail today or tomorrow. I'd fully intended to mail it on Saturday, but I spent the day scrambling to clean up after a hacker. I got cleaned out for $1600 in my saving account by someone who hacked my e-mail account and my Paypal to order a Macbook Pro from e-bay. Joy.

Let this be a warning to everyone, don't use the unsecured WiFi at Border's. I'm never using my laptop on an unsecured network again, ever.
