Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and being able to paint my walls any color I like.

We paint our walls non-neutral colors and we rent. But I've been in this apartment for 25 years.

java, yeah Emmett BARTing will definitely cut down on some of the commuting, but BART tix are so high now that it's not actually a great deal. Actually, I need to investigate discounted prices for teens and such. I know I need his birth cert to get a Clipper card for him and on top of that there's some kind of BART discount for students. But he's full price for Muni now. The bottom line is what I gain in time I'm losing in money.

Then again, I'm losing my car pool lane privileges in July so it's probably a wash.

I love that NYTimes weekly feature that shows what $X will buy you housing wise in 3 different markets. Fascinating!

Me too! And sadly, I was thinking "oh that's not a bad price!" when I saw the listing for java's neighbor! Though mostly because I know how cute her house is and how nice the deck and backyard are!!

I'm excited for Java to own that Meyer lemon tree.

We should have an annual Meyer Lemon Curd concocting day.

YES.

Also, my neighbor just mentioned that he has a gigantic olive tree dropping thousands of olives and do I want any?

Don't they have to be treated to be edible? I vaguely remember a whole Alton Brown episode on that.

Yes, they have to be brined.

We rented a villa in Tuscany that had some olive trees, and Barkley tried to eat one: it was not a success.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Talked to another former coworker today. Dude I linked to, what was convicted of felony fraud? Keeping his job. Plus, FCW can't discipline/fire any of the trainees because they want a good graduation rate.

Have I mentioned, Best Layoff Ever?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think the easiest thing to do with olives is press them into oil, but I don't know how easy that actually is. I know my grandparents never bothered collecting the olives off their tree considering it too much trouble.
