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?

Do you have any waffles or pancakes to sop up the molasses? Could be breakfast.

Okay, first bell just rang...need to wake up and get my mind on MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was up at 3 am again, but no one was here!

I am trying to decide whether or not to get the CSA share that we can get at work. It is actually a really good idea and I hope it takes off. The CSA is coming from several farms banding together, and they are trying to partner with businesses to do pick-ups at workplaces. My uni is the only partner so far, and the pickup is actually a 10 minute walk from my building. The problem for me is I am one person, and they do not have half shares, and I am not sure that I can eat enough fruits and vegetables to feed a family of four! I was trying to think of someone to split it with, and realized that there are only three unmarried people in the building who aren't living with their parents. And one of them is very, very, frugal and would never outlay $245, and the other does not eat any vegetables.

Um, as a costume person, the only quant I know is Mary Quant.

Quants, as I understand the term having read the awesome IOU: Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay, are super smart mathy folks who were sought out by the financial industry to come up with equations that justified every action they took that defied common sense. Like credit default swaps. Or that things would never ever go wrong or take a downturn.

I seriously recommend this book, BTW.

I had one thing I had to remember today: to bring my financials to work with me.

They are sitting on the staircase at home.

Sigh.

ND, That sounds interesting. I may have to pick it up, along with the Abigail Adams book recommended by Cashmere on Facebook. This kindle is not doing good things for my spending. I read too fast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If it's a full family share, you could share it with a family, I bet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could save some money if you hit yourself in the head hard enough.

Wait, don't hurt your spicy brains!

The CSA concept intrigues me. I think I'm going to try it, but I do have the same issue, Sophia. I did see a few options for half shares with drop-offs near me, though.

It's so pleasant out. What a mood lifter.

This is the first CSA that has drop offs within 45 minutes of me! The car culture is so prevalent here that you had to go to the farm or the suburbs.

I wish there was a way people could pay for this with their food-stamp benefit and they could have a drop off down-town. I wonder if people would use it? They accept them at the farmers market, but it would be a huge time saver.
