No God for your building, Allyson!

I didn't pay enough attention, but the Nova ep suggested that there is a neurological connection with money and competition that makes such things happen.

True but there was a bit in the ep you missed where the second highest bid for the $20 bill had to pay their bid as well and they didn't get the money. So it was also an attempt to lose the least at the end.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms I know, whether your babies are babies or grown ups--and all the ages in between--and whether your babies are peoples or pets.

Those commercials are kind of redic, but otoh, I like juices with tons of pulp, and I very rarely feel the inclination to eat an actual piece of fruit. Aside from being a little over the top, is it that much different than V8?

(Obv nutritionally I know it is, but the messaging is pretty similar.)

V8 is mostly salt. Fruit juice is mostly sugar. (So nutritionally, yeah, they're about the same.)

Isn't the reason it's better to have a piece of fruit than a glass of juice that the whole fruit has fiber, whereas the juice is fiberless and therefore just sugar (like Jess said)?

I mean, I like a glass of oj, but I don't really count it as a serving of fruit. But I'm kind of obsessed with my fiber intake.

I like juices with tons of pulp

Do juices with pulp have a good amount of fiber? (I don't like pulpy juice, so I've never looked at the bottle.) Or does the feel of the pulp just make you think you're getting fiber?

(I have to note that I don't care if people drink juice or not; without oj, the world would be bereft of screwdrivers, and that cannot stand.)

and mimosas, for that matter

How did it get to 2 pm and I've done nothing today? Sigh.

Happy Mothers Day to all b.org moms, regardless if your sprog is human, animal, or other.

sara, I've done a load of laundry, swept the kitchen floor and am preparing to scrub it. I didn't wake up until almost noon, since I got a second wind and continued my cleaning spree from last night until 4 am.

Then I'm going to PA to see Mom and have my dad feed me, since I have no food in the house until tomorrow.

Can I paint my fake glue nails with any success? Any polishes better? Prep I should first?

Polish should actually stick better, msbelle. Just make sure you use non-acetone polish remover so you don't dissolve the glue. Use a base coat to minimize staining, and you should be good to go. I use OPI or Essie polishes almost exclusively, and I can go two weeks without chipping on acrylic/gel nails.
