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

I've been reading about the heat in Australia in coverage of the Australian Open. They're cooling players down with ice vests.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh msbelle, I've been there.

My kids are motivated by minecraft. They got ready for school without a fight on the condition they can play minecraft for 5 minutes. Win-win? Or is that just capitulation?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like win win to me, Burrell.

You guys, I want to make buttermilk biscuits constantly until I get really good at it. That is reasonable, right?

I wholeheartedly endorse this plan. I am thinking about making butter in part so I can always have buttermilk.

The difference between a bribe and positive reinforcement is sometimes very subtle.

Amen.

I'm in the office today. Not sure why beyond the fact that I need to print out some color copies for a meeting tonight and my inkjet needs ink.

Oh, god, in all the mess, I forgot I still need to get a copy of my wedding license so I can renew my driver's license next month.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am thinking about making butter in part so I can always have buttermilk.

Ooh, now THAT is a plan!

Mmmmm, biscuits. I've been making shortbread cookies lately, but they are no yet perfected, so I keep trying. For science.

109 degrees, on the other hand, pure yuck.

I was listening to a podcast about fermenting stuff yesterday, and I almost want to try it, but probably not enough to put thought into action.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Long shot question, cross posted with Tech:

Does anyone know of a source for buying out of date prepackaged software? We are looking for a version of particular biotech software from 2000, and it's not on ebay or Amazon, so I thought I would turn to the hivemind.
