Does anyone have a humidifier they love that WILL NOT BREAK after a year of use? I am so fucking sick of buying humidifiers I cannot even tell you.

I've had both Vicks and Venta break on me after one season. I need something quiet and sturdy and easy to clean.

Because books.

I have a question, too, but no answer on the humidifiers. It's been a long time since I used one.

Can you roast two chickens in a regular oven at the same time?

CJ has stepped up a couple of times telling him to stop

Rock on, CJ. You got a good kid there, SuziQ.

So the general strike shut down the Port of Oakland last night (for reasons mostly having to do with supporting a longshoremans' dispute in Seattle), and then after the regular folks went home, the hard-core types graffiti'd downtown. There isn't too much trash around, but all the buildings along Broadway close to Civic Center got tagged, including cool locally-owned businesses.

Assuming you already know your oven will hold 2 chickens, yes, but it will take a little longer.

I've resigned myself to a new one every year

That's what I'm not sure about Jessica, but it's good to know.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I second the chicken advice, but have no humidfier advice, although that reminder me of my first thought upon waking, which was "I gotta break out the humidifier -- UGH." Dry mouth and nose; tongue so dry the tip of it was cracked.

Ouch. And ew...

I want a brownie cupcake. I will have to settle for cereal.

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

I want a brownie cupcake

I have one at work and one at home! I actually had the low fat high fiber muffin for breakfast. And now I'm watching the FMLA presentation. I hope this can all go over my head.

Yes-Man is in the office today. He gave four days notice, and he gave it to the head of his contracting office, not to the people he's doing contract work for, or, like me, who he's working on a project for. He's not rolling in respect right now.

Boo to Yes-Man.

Hmmm. Now I am thinking I must make brownies tonight. I have all the ingredients.

OK, brownies MAYBE if I get all my work done. Time to get cracking -- coffee is consumed, and chocolate (and, ya know, completion) is my goal!


Amy - Nov 03, 2011 7:06:04 am PDT #4579 of 30001
Because books.

Now I want a brownie. Oooh, or gingerbread! Oh yeah, gingerbread. I wonder if I have what I need.

Like I have any time to bake today, but it's all I really want to do. In my glow-in-the-dark skeleton apron.
