What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My bedroom closet is kind of full, so I was considering putting them in my other closet. And I don't have moths in my bedroom closet! D-Do I?

They're in there. Waiting. Snickering.

ION, there was an alcohol-related accident on the freeway at 9 AM today. Who the hell is that drunk at 9 AM? Or maybe it's "still drunk"?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How To Be More Lovely

This is fantastic! How exactly does putting vaseline on your lashes darken them? Also, aigh, vaseline in eyes. I love how the writer is so disapproving of mascara and blush! And bras! Good grief.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm having a "must not smack the stupid people" day at work. Note: no desire to smack the students. This is all directed at people who should know better.

Grr.

Anyway.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sue, No, no you should not. Thanks though.

So I knitted with the quilters and we all had lunch and it was lovely. Now I am home and have an hour before I need to get mac, because today is day one of his tutoring (Language Arts, which he is at risk of failing for this 6 weeks).

Anyone know where I put my return address labels?

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

ION, Meth 1; Drug War 0

In one of the most recent escalations of the War On Drugs, Congress made it more difficult to buy certain over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, arguing that the restrictions would help the fight against meth. That's why I have to jump through hoops to get a little Sudafed. Surprise!:

Electronic systems that track sales of the cold medicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curb the drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative market for profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to meth producers at a huge markup. An Associated Press review of federal data shows that the lure of such easy money has drawn thousands of new people into the methamphetamine underworld over the last few years.

Radley Balko sums up the rest of the findings:

Meth use was also up 34 percent in 2009. So the new laws are inconveniencing law-abiding people who want to treat cold and allergy symptoms, have had either zero or a positive effect on meth use, have lured new people into the meth trade, and have created a bigger market for smuggling meth and meth ingredients into the country from Mexico. But perhaps we should go easy on the politicians who passed these laws. I mean, it’s not like anyone could possibly have predicted any of this.

Also, aigh, vaseline in eyes

In boot camp, we couldn't wear make-up, so we put vaseline on our eyelashes when it came time to have our pictures taken for the year(unit?)book. It did not sting, but neither did it make our eyelashes look any darker.

Vaseline makes dirt stick to the lashes?
