no judge or jury would convict if I would just start filming stuff.

Duct tape is cheaper and doesn't leave permanent marks.

I don't want to encourage crime, though!

Isn't that kind of like not wanting to give soneone something back that they dropped in case they'd stolen it from someone else? Unless you can tell it's a fake by examining it I think it's so impossible for you to work out what crime could be associated with it that I'd surrender it to the police or DMV, or mail it to the address.

I throw out everything that comes to the tenant before me.

I have satisfied my urge to make cookie press cookies, which is fine and dandy, but motherfuck...did I ever forget the conundrum that is getting these shitheads off the baking sheets.

The cookies are for me, yes?

For the dog people: [link] (and his facebook page [link] ) Daniel was a euthanization failure, went on to be adopted, and is now a spokesdog for the movement to get certain forms of euthanization banned. Plus, he's bloody cute!

I may have to rethink afternoon movie plans tomorrow - had an 18 oz. ribeye for dinner, and the coma it's about to induce may last until I'm due at my folks' for Easter dinner in the evening.

the child is mad at me and so what does he decide to do? sit in the chair next to mine stewing. healthy, no?

the three things he needs to do before bed: eat dinner (only if he wants it), put away the dishes from other things he ate and drank today, shower.

The sitting and stewing is a STATEMENT, I guess, about how he is NOT going to do any of the above. I can only assume because of my complete tyrannical and unfair parenting that allowed him a mere 6-7 hours of tv watching today. I am monster, I tell you.

I am monster, I tell you.

That is certainly what we say behind your back all the time, msbelle. "That msbelle, such a monster." "But the NICEST monster!" "Well, yeah!"

The cookies are for me, yes?

If I wasn't so embarrassed about the poor yield (only 1/3 survived coming off the baking sheet!) or if I had the address (since I have tea and a drawing at least for you too) mebbe.

I have pretty much achieved what I need to with the oatmeal cookies, but I don't know if it's worth experimenting with the cookie press. What do I need to fix WRT the sheet? Since you're not supposed to use a greased baking surface, I tried removing them immediately like one recipe said, or waiting a little like CI said, and I don't think either made the difference. Neither did the sheet itself.

It is a tasty recipe, though. I tossed a couple True Lemon packets into the CI ingredients. Because why not lemon?

Luckily I have Norah Jones playing, lambic in my crystal wine glass, and fb games to play for the next half hour. The bed for me.
