Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

See, I set the crockpot at 8:30 am, and got home at 4pm, and if not for the persky power outage that happened at 2:30, would have had soup!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Mmmm, soup!

Also, happy dance for Nevada and Idaho!

I use a crockpot sometimes. It's good for days when I want to be able to just come home and eat dinner without having to cook anything, and if I've got some extra time in the morning.

I've been grading all day. Nearly finished. One more stack (of about 40) where I need to code the partial credit scores into the scantron, then alphabetize the scantrons, then count everything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We got a crockpot as a wedding gift, and have used it a handful of times. Mostly to make chili, but I did make oatmeal one time last year.(Note to self: check the box of rolled oats to be sure it is still usable.) I bought a cookbook for slowcooker recipes, but haven't really used it.

All good thoughts and prayers to your mom and to you, Anne. I'm glad she has you.

My shoulders and neck are killing me. I really wish I had some better pain management for days like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anne, is she ready to make any kind of plan? I don't know what it would be, but it sounds like some long-term changes are in order....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In this area. There is a group called. SAVE. That deals with all kinds of domestic violence issues. Even if your mom isn't ready to deal wirth it directly, you might look for a group like that for advice.
