I did that with the digital thermostat. It keeps getting colder anyway.

Oh, my lettuce was freezing for a while there. But not any more. Hm, what changed? Maybe I made the freezer less cold? Or more cold? I think I just tinkered with the coldness settings for both the fridge and the freezer sections.
Can I be less helpful?
Aha, looking at the dials - I currently have the freezer slightly colder than recommended and the fridge slightly less cold. If that actually has anything to do with the crisper no longer freezing I can't be certain, but it's something.

I swear to god, the trash guys are trying to lose my trash an lid. Just saw one wrench it from its tiedown and toss it into the middle of the alley. Did the city slash their bennies too?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random thought during breakfast: what would happen if you ate a bunch of dry, uncooked steel-cut oats on an empty stomach? Would it soak up all the liquid in your tummy, leaving a semi-solid lump of oats?

Our wings are not tired.
Let us know if you test that theory, tommyrot.
I should have DH come talk to your trash guys, sarameg. He has formed a warm relationship with ours. Partly because he talks to everyone everywhere. Partly because with all the construction and so forth he talks to the guys all the time and helps load up the stuff, shares the mangoes, citrus, and bananas, etc. We never get hit with extra pickup fees and they take all kinds of stuff they shouldn't. I am generally pretty friendly and talky, but he takes it to a whole other level.

My plan is to spread stories about it being the latest trend amongst kids and then get MythBusters to figure it out.

Brilliant plan.
I am pleased with my steak and egg burrito. Less than pleased with being awake. I could use another, oh, let's say week of sleep, that sounds about right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would like for someone to bring me steak and eggs. And coffee. Not enough sleep + whiny cats = sleepy grumpy human.

I'll scan a burrito for you, Zen. I'm out of coffee, though. I'll get some at the office.
It's already "like Tatooine" out there. This does not bode well.

shrift, did the cleaning help? We don't keep veg in the veggie drawer because it's too cold no matter what. Does better on the shelves.
In other news, while I'm a district teacher of the year, my essays were not compelling to move me on to the next level of competition. Which makes sense. I'm not the Make-You-Cry-With-Emotion sappy sort.
