I want to set something on FIRE.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Every time one of you mentions Wegman's I think for a second that you mean Schwegmann's and then I get all wistful and nostalgic for bygone chains of yesteryear.

I'm sorry Dana. Ugh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"If nothing matters but what you do, than all that matters is what you do."
My spiritual philosophy is from the Church of Bill & Ted: Be excellent to each other, and party on, dude.
Though having to talk to Comcast makes me believe in the Great Adversary. My sympathies, Dana.

Moral philosophy is hard and I haven't finished grappling in my own mind, but Bill & Ted make a lot of sense.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was just at Wegman's -- it's the only "nice" grocery store out here. (We've also got Giant and Weis, which are both fairly standard supermarkets.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The Giants in southcentral PA are competing nicely with Wegmans. I can't tell you the last time I stepped into a Weis.
I miss Trader Joe's.
I try and follow Angel's advice from a spiritual sense. My relationship with Catholicism has been fraught for a number of years. I'm with Susan in that the customs and traditions of Mass bring me comfort, but not necessarily from a religious sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Help! I have an excel question that I can't quite figure out how to ask, so I can't find the answer myself. Does anyone know how I should arrange my data so that it shows up as a bar chart with two sets of bars? Here is what I have: numbers for each of three quarters in three locations, for two related measures. So I'd like to have each location across the bottom with the three quarters listed for each location, and two bars in each quarter. Does that even make sense? (The problem is that I have a picture of the exact chart I want and no way to update it directly.)

I think someone yesterday was talking about souls, so I thought I'd share a couple of articles on the subject. I came across the theory in the second article through no less than James Marsters at a panel at a local comic con:
OTOneH, Quantum Theory Won’t Save the Soul.
OTOH, Penrose-Hameroff Theory of Quantum Counciousness

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
