Jesus, don't you know guys know how to cut bagels without putting your hands in jeopardy?

You should not be cutting towards your flesh.

Use a long serrated knife. Like, you know, a bread knife. Hold the bagel upright between your thumb and middle finger. Insert blade under the bridge of your fingers and cut down, away from fingers, thumb webs and fleshy palms. None of which should be in the way of the cutting action.

Or, get one of those high speed bagel-cutting shooter dealies they have at Noah's.

OMG, this octopus chair is AMAZING

wow that might be the best chair in the history of chairs.

I accidentally watched a new show tonight and Caroline Dhavernas is in it! I think it's called "Off the Map" did anybody else catch it? Would it be discussed in procedurals?

flapjacks...

I forget who was looking for a referral to counseling in TN but a friend of my Mom's found

Cynthia Johnson, LCSW at 615-371-6107. She’s in Brentwood TN. If that city is not convenient, Cynthia could refer your daughter’s friend to a more local therapist. Hope this helps.

That's one awesome chair.

I watched it too! (Off the Map.) There was some discussion in Natter.

Nice to see Zach Gilford too, even though I don't like his character- it's clear we're not supposed to. The whole show was pretty anvillicious but I might have to watch it anyway.

First though, I believe a rewatch of Wonderfalls is in order.

When did chairs get so awesome? I just saw this.

Use a long serrated knife. Like, you know, a bread knife. Hold the bagel upright between your thumb and middle finger. Insert blade under the bridge of your fingers and cut down, away from fingers, thumb webs and fleshy palms. None of which should be in the way of the cutting action.

Very sensible, but not possible if you don't have the manual dexterity for that! (I am no longer allowed to use knives, after an 'incident' that freaked out The Girl.)

quester, wishing you speedy healing. Passing out while cutting something sounds very scary indeed.

Healing~ma to you too, Teppy.

The govt agency people have stopped e-mailing me with thousands of questions. I guess that means they're making their decision. *busies self with things so as not to worry*

Tea.

Please to send the ~ma. It looks like the agency is making the decision on my support workers for teaching today. While I don't want to jinx it, they're starting to ask *relevant* questions, like what date the semester ends and whether I have an individual in mind to provide the support. If I win this one, I'm buying The Girl (who worked all weekend on the application) an extremely large present.
