Frozen foods should be cooked within 24 hours of thawing, P-C. If you're not having the rest of the fish tomorrow, you can refreeze them as long as they are still partially frozen.

Oh, good, I can do that. That's what I was going to do at first. Thanks, Bev.

Sue, that's hilarious! It really works though. The fridge is right next to it (originally, fridge was facing counter, which wasted that wall space. Had to buy an extension cord to turn it, but so worth getting all that shelving space.) I highly recommend getting hooks like this: [link] (uh, the spirals that are shown but not listed) to hang pots and pans and implements from the shelves. I also got a couple hanging basket things from somewhere to put bags of nuts and stuff in.

Google sky was used in an Android commercial! Hubble images are integrated in it! Woohoo!

Yes, it's a completely unevolved way of thinking, for all beings. We're so supposedly advanced in our humaness, but we prove we're not all the damned time.

I was talking about all humans

First, I totally read it as talking about all humans.

And, yes, we constantly prove that we are not precisely different from any other creature that has evolved into their current form and is focused on self interests.

I also have an arch! And a root. And, granted, insulation where the previous owners had taken out the French doors that let the winter wind whistle into the kitchen from the sun porch, but I have years. I can improve!

New bathtub over kitchen improvements, though, if I'm categorizing my wish list. I deeply, deeply, truly mourn the deep, long tub from my apartment. We have a shallow, pink sitz bath of a tub, and I hates it.

Pretty sure "Namaste, motherfucker" is a Madrigalism.

I'm generally "yay, law," but the new AZ immigration law is particularly stupid and pernicious. I can't see a way of enforcing this without treating a whole lot of non-white Arizonians as criminal suspects. I'm having trouble seeing any other law breaking concern being handled in such a ham-fisted manner. How about murder? I see that as a far more serious crime than illegal immigration. 90% of the murders in the western world are committed by men. Shall we have random DNA checks of males in the US to see if they match evidence from murder scenes? There's also a sharp peak in murders committed by those between 17 and 30 years of age. Are all of you young whippersnappers willing to put up with random stops to make sure you don't have bodies in your car trunks? No, we're not going to do that, because it would be a stupid waste of resources and, oh, hey, a ginormous civil rights violation. But now someone with dark skin needs to be ready and able at all times to prove they're not a criminal in AZ. Utter bullshit.

I really need to take newer pictures of my house. After I get some more stuff put up. I really need to make prints of my favorite trip pictures. And a quilt hanger. And get furniture, not rubbermaid tubs, for end tables in the guest room.

And, yes, we constantly prove that we are not precisely different from any other creature that has evolved into their current form and is focused on self interests.

This is interesting; certainly biologically true, and I know that I am (a) pretty selfish and self-centered and (b) very much would kill or maim to retain my own life and safety, or that of loved ones, if directly threatened.

OTOH, I also believe that humans have these nice spicy brains (thanks, Barb! MWAH!) so that we may think about and, hopefully, act upon things that are outside the realm of self. I think it's a constant human challenge, balancing the two. I'm amazed by people who are much more selfless and compassionate and other-centered than I, because I find it amazingly difficult to do, in my own deeply flawed way.

But I feel that the attempts to continue to do so are deeply worth it. For me.

EDIT: spelling, and good lord: can I have more commas?!
