brenda, the first step is admitting that you have a problem ...
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The second step is us making fun of you.

More tea party protests. [link]
A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) had been spat on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a 'ni--er.' And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "faggot," as protestors shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president's speech, shrugged off the incident.
But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.

You know when you're cooking and near the end of the process and you don't realize an ingredient is bad before it's in the pan, and although you fish it out right away, you're not sure if you got all of it and you know you probably should dump the meal in the garbage but hate to waste food, so in the end you decide to eat a bit tonight and see if it gives you food poisoning before binning it?
Yeah. At least it tastes all right so far?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good luck, shrift. I'm sure it was ok. Unless you're now throwing up somewhere.
brenda, does knowing you're not alone in your shame help?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Nora, that's awesome.
Um, things to consider, I guess. Public transportation is probably not what you're used to. Depending on the area of town you live in, crime can be a consideration. Also depending on where you live, you might not have close access to things (for example, my parents' neighborhood post office just re-opened).
I have a former coworker who moved there earlier this year and loves it, and I think it's awesome that you're considering it.
What else can I tell you about?

Taylor just called me, ecstatic. She's over at Morgan State for her science fair banquet and awards (in my neighborhood) , and she placed second in the biological sciences! Her best friend won first and an all-expense-paid trip to CA. She's OVER THE MOON! And I am so proud of her. Her high school will be hanging a banner with their pictures up.
We're gonna figure out how to video chat.

Huh, my sister just told me that University of Northern Iowa just knocked Kansas out of the NCAA tournament. That's a surprise.
