Anyone want to do some shopping for me? I need patio furniture, now that I have a patio! It's slate stone and has a wood planterbox around the edges that are not my house/the walkway. I want something that is very waterproof (hi, Seattle--I can put some of it (fabric covers?) away, but most of it will need to stay outdoors), and isn't super cheap looking, but isn't massively expensive either. Preferably some sort of chairs and table situation--I'd like it to not be too bit (because the patio is small, and mostly it'll be me and my laptop outdoors working or eating), but also able to move/accomodate others. I'm thinking of getting the below fire-thing, for warmth and pretty:
or like this:
I was hoping things would be on clearance sale, but I think I missed the window--there's still grills for sale, but nowhere in town can I find furniture.

Not only is Snopes a well-known liberal website, according to the guy I know who often cites the Center For Western Journalism*, Wikipedia also has a clear bias.

Because books.
Question for those teaching college (for a character):
If I have a 33 or 34-year-old guy who's a chemist, and I want him teaching at the college level, what kind of degrees does he need to have? Is that too young to be teaching college? Or would it make more sense to have him in a research department?

Amy - could he be a TA, second year into a PhD, someone who decided to go back to get his degree a little late?
so much ma for your sister, Burrell.

People teaching college-level chemistry usually either have a PhD in chemistry or are graduate students studying for a PhD in chemistry. It's certainly possible to have a PhD in chemistry at 28, but it's also possible to still be a PhD student in early one's 30s. If he had a PhD, he could be an instructor (has a PhD, not tenure-track), an assistant professor (first tier of tenure track), or if he's a rock star he could be an associate professor already (tenured, usually starting 5-7 years after the PhD).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Did not take lunch today, ate at my desk and kept working, never left the trailer, and am working again at home. This is not what I am looking for in a job.

Burrell, I wish for all the best for your sister.
Amy, he could easily be a doctor at 33/34. He probably wouldn't be tenured, but teaching...yeah.
ION, DH's work has tomorrow off, whether or not the government shutdown goes through, and then he has 4 weeks of vaca accrued if it does. We are...nervous. Our finances are already in the toilet. Stupid pigfuckers.
