It was my last dealing with a landlord that led me to buy a house.

New owner bought house, lied to my face he would allow my cousin Steve and I to keep renting, then when he took over the ownership, gave us 1 month to get out, extending it to two months at triple the previous rental amount.

My wishes for husband of Connie on Facebook [link]

(For those not on Facebook, link to a picture of Eir, Norse goddess of medicine, and the following: "May Eir, Norse goddess of medicne, help heal a certain viking, lend skill to his doctors and keep him viking strong.")

That is an excellent wish. I second it.

Be jealous. About to watch Barb in her dance competition. Related note, Miami traffic sucks.

Oh that's really neat, Laura!

I am avoiding work. I keep hoping my coffee is going to kick in soon.

I have gone and gotten a blood test so the insurance company can lecture me about my numbers. (Weight, not good; everything else, great; verdict: OMG YOU ARE IN TERRIBLE HEALTH; Me: fuck you, insurer), talked to the realtor, and called the utilities at the old house about getting them disconnected.

Now I can do what I have wanted to be doing all day: drinking a Coke and watching the Arrow finale.

Your insurer lectures you on your health directly?

All mine ever do is send out barely targeted guides to health.

They'll give you a break on the premium if you get a blood test and height/weight measured.

No surprise, but Barb is gorgeous and sexy and moves with incredible grace and fluidity in beautiful unison with her partner. So glad I got here!!

Cookistas. I'm making pasta primavera and got a deal on an eight ounce wedge of Romano. It will serve eight. I already have mozzerella and ricotta in it., along with some dry salami. How much Romano would be too much? Should I use the whole eight ounces or would that be way to strong. (I have to admit I normally use the powdered stuff so have no idea how much real Romano to use. O
