I'm trying to comfort myself with roast pumpkin seeds, but they are kind of burnt.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, but the Saints are taking too many hits too. We can't have Colston, Sproles, and Graham all hurt at the same time.

I have a 9:15 pt session tomorrow, but I forgot boss lady isn't in. So either I show up extra early to set the intern on her tasks, then drive back, or reschedule (the point had been to just simply go into work late, instead of having to leave in the middle of the day, but I'd forgotten about the boss lady working Saturday and being out Monday), or still go in late and text intern marching orders.
The last is the easiest on me, but also seems . . . un-put-together. Which I have to admit is true of me at the best of times.

Because books.
She has empty toilet paper rolls on her hands and is pretending to be a robot. My kids are odd.
I was going to say, as a mother of three, that sounds completely normal to me.

At least Atlanta is losing. (Sorry, Ginger.)
There is only one true sport, and that is baseball. What happens to the Falcons has no effect on me, except in that I know some people who care. Since I also have friends who are made happy by a Falcons' loss, it's a wash.

In further "my mother" news, my brother got engaged to his girlfriend today. We all like her a great deal, but the FIRST THING my mother said when I talked to her was to complain that she had to wait 25 years into her current relationship to get a diamond that big.

Oh god, my own mother was snotty about my future sister-in-laws ring, about how cheap it was since it was many small shavings of diamonds instead of some big ridiculous thing. Yeah, it may not be worth as much, but it's certainly more aesthetically pleasing in my eyes, and apparently in the fiance's eyes.
Also, dude's a drug addict, what do you expect? His savings goes elsewhere, doncha know? (I still can't believe they're talking kids. Marriage and babies don't solve addiction!!!!).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is Plei around? This recipe for orange marmalade calls for three pounds 12 ounces of sugar. IS THAT NORMAL?

Allyson, how much weight in oranges? If you have a lb of oranges, you, on average, need about 2 lbs + in sugar.
The ratio is like 1:2:2+, the last part is sugar, the middle is water that is used to soak the fruit. Usually after you soak the fruit and boil it off, it increases the weight of the fruit pulp. So if you start with one lb and then soak and boil in water then it will increase weight. Then you add the exact weight of the fruit pulp in sugar.
