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

Are we sure a zucchini muffin isn't basically the same thing as a salad?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Muffins are definitely food, but made-with-flour means none for me. Still, a bit of cheese, chicken, hummus, or even yogurt or cottage cheese is what my mind accepts as "food".

All of which I can put on a salad with a dab of dressing cut with water and call it dinner. But cutting stuff up myself is tiresome, when what I get at the end of it is "salad."

I just grab a handful of lettuce and eat it unadorned. It's inoffensive, if uninspired.

I thought we were sure it was. Basically.

TOTALLY the same thing. It would be unhealthy to NOT eat zucchini muffins.

I'm a science editor (science!). You can trust me.

That sounds like a tiresome weekend, Fred. I'm glad you have power again.

Today it was about 85F when I went out to lunch, and my first thought on stepping outside was, "This is kind of nice." My usual response to 80+ is "ugh." Then I managed to eat a lunch rife with drippy things (French dip, fries and ketchup) without getting a drop on my white shirt. I think I may be in an alternate dimension. I'm thinking the split occurred when the Supreme Court did something that failed to piss me off last week. It's all shrimp-less from here on out.

Also, in this dimension, zucchini muffins = salad, so I'm planning to stay.

Happy Birthday, Frankenbuddha!!

Sorry things are so frutrating at work, ita !

Fred, that sounds horrid! I'm glad you're back home safe though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

EAT A FREAKING SALAD, WHITEY.

Hahahaha!

Dear road construction workers, please turn off your radio. I really don't want to spend my day off listening to crappy country music and I can't close the windows without cooking myself and 2 cats.

Sigh. Going outside to talk to these guys would mean putting on a bra and outside pants.

Although not doing so would definitely get their attention.

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

Are you sure construction workers can tell the difference between a fully dressed woman and a topless woman?

Is there an opposite to "Platonic"? I want to limit the above statement to the "worst possible version of construction worker" and not to the group as a whole.

Hey all -- help a bitch out. I need a correct (with accent marks) translation of the following phrase into Mexican-Spanish. It's for a MS I'm editing.

"That’s the last time you’ll see my shiny ass in this place."

Thanks for any help!
