Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Words cannot express how much you dodged a bullet with that one, megan. That's exponentially worse than the worst ascot on the planet.
Yay, Dana! And yay, Frank!
And now, if I appear again at any point today someone needs to come over here and kick my ass, hard, because this is going to be a Work Till I Drop day and noodling around with the Buffistas is sadly not permitted.
I am salvaging the day, and the boss did call in to check on things, so I am feeling much better.
Yay for things turning out better than expected on several fronts!
My lunch date offered to reschedule for Thursday so now I am free to do laundry. Which seems like an odd thing to be happy about, but I am.

I believe ex-wife said roughly the same thing while I was there. Well, not the ascot part.
At least the kids are living such a bizarro situation they think nothing of the fact that for some reason their Dad's ex-girlfriend is now friends with their Mom.
I stopped by the local farmers market on my way into work this morning (today was the first day they were open). Not a lot of booths set up yet since it is so early in the season, but I was able to talk with the tool sharpener about whether he would be able to do my knives for me next week between 9:00 am and lunchtime, which he can. Yay! There was one guy selling pickles and pickled beets that I'll revisit next week--I tried one of his dill pickles with garlic, and that was yummy. My dad's the pickled beet fan, and I'll see if he wants me to pick him up some beets with horseradish. Also, the main produce booth had some wonderful-smelling strawberries for $5/pint, which is pricy but the scent was amazing.
I wish my market had that. I really need someone to sharpen a chef's knife.
Thanks juliana!
Someone who's moving just gave me a nice, heavy knife but it's dull as dishwater. I have no idea how they use it.
I just lied to ABC 7. Sorry? No, I'm not a 19 year old black teenaged boy. But...I was curious and wanted to say nasty things about the Governator.
I'd like to get some of my weapons sharpened.
There is a local guy who sharpens stuff, and all you have to do is drop your items off at the local Ace Hardware before Thursday morning, and then pick them up on Thursday night. However, I always forget to drop them off, so have had to put up with very dull knives.
When I lived in Oak Park, there was a guy who would drive around on summer weekends clanging an iron triangle and driving a small van which would pull up and park on the side of the street or in your driveway while he worked on your knives. An adult version of the ice cream man. Not a bad idea!
