I think my best friend's wife is the only person I've hugged since the outbreak began. I've pointedly not hugged Mom, though I'm generally confident enough in the safety measures I'm observing that I don't think doing so would endanger her.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went into work to process samples this morning. I'm taking all of this week off, in an attempt to use all my use-or-lose leave before the year ends. Probably will still end up losing some.

People: if anyone still wants to vote on when we're having the holidays zoom, please do it in the next 12 hours. I'll announce time and date tomorrow (well, my tomorrow. It's already Sunday night here). [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think I am going to make cookie plans and use Bonbon’s spreadsheet idea from thanksgiving to figure out how much of each ingredient I need. But now I have to decide which cookies I want to make. I want all of them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have made three kinds of cookies and one kind of bread this weekend, and I may never bake again.
....give me two weeks.

Ok this is really sweet. M is playing soemthing on Xbox and he's chatting with someone.. and I hear "oh your about the age of one my nieces" and then "no, you won't fail all your classes, you'll do fine...... well, do the best you can and you'll be fine... Oh , in THAT case prove them wrong !" and various forms of encouragment.

Aw, that is sweet.
We just had BBQd spare ribs. They were yum.
Or, really, spare ribs w/ BBQ sauce. We did not BBQ them.

What is even happening?
I think I need M to make calls of encouragement to my kids, askye. You could monetize this, girl.
JenP, did you bake the ribs? My parents never cooked them, so I never did. I've had them at Chili's and the like, but never knew how to do them. Did you parboil them first?

Cindy, my mom did make them, but I don't know what her method was - I think just in the oven. We, however, just heated up some already cooked ribs from Wegmans. Not very inspired, alas! But tasty.
