Because books.

That it has Helen Mirren.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Any argument invoking Clive Owen is never invalid. Or always valid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

National Treasure 2 has Helen Mirren. Your argument is invalid.

(that was way harder)

It is if you're implying quality movies. I'd shag the man and his talent in the Macy's parade, but he was in King Arthur.

Anne, general locale is fine. I am just setting up the mailing list so people can share where possible and people mail for the shortest distance possible.

Yarn exchange people, expect an email tonight or tomorrow.

Puzzle people, ditto.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay for surviving servers, sara!

Thanks for the math help- sorry I ran, I had to get to the meeting.

Now maybe you can help solve a home problem. Last night I cleaned my oven with oven cleaner. I don't normally use oven cleaner, but I accidentally set a chicken on fire (I didn't know that really happened), and I could not get the burn off, and I was unable to use my oven because it would smoke so much.

So now, I feel like I have got all the easy-off off, but it still sort of smells like easy off. And I was going to make chicken parm, which I cook partially on top of the stove, and partially in the oven, and as I was preheating the oven, I could smell the easy off.

SO now I am cooking the chicken parm on top of the stove, but am wondering what I should do so I can cook in my oven again. Should I just turn the oven on, open the door, and let it burn off?

Because books.

Maybe run it really hot for a little while, Sophia?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

No oven advice, Sophia. I have lucked out that the self-cleaning has always handled my messes.

Sara, I'm glad things are looking up compared to earlier.

I bundled up (tis 13F out) and hit the store for a comfort (and at least kinda healthy) food run. The kitchen was kinda empty and both CJ and I are feeling crappy. Wanted to make sure we had the essentials (tea, honey, soup...) in case either of us gets worse.

I'm sorry you are sick, Suzi.

My oven, sadly, does not self clean.

Does anyone remember an episode of coupling where every time Steve moved, Susan was saying "What are you doing?". And then there was some reverse of the story.

I have just realized that my cat is Steve, and I am Susan. Ever since she has been peeing on things again, every time I hear her, I say "What are you doing?". Usually she is just cleaning herself or something.

I can't remember the reverse of the story, though...
