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.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We had two pecan trees in our yard, along with four nearly-century-old willow oaks: huge, mighty trees, itty bitty acorns!The acorns of course, and the pecans were mainly squirrel food for the colonies of squirrels, because we had no pecan tree shaker. We had to pass beneath the pecan limbs to get to our door, and unless it was deepest winter that involved being cursed out and bombarded with empty pecan hulls in passage. We got used to it and mostly didn't notice. Until the day StE handed me a ribeye bone with a wide-eyed look. "Mom? They're dragging cows up into the trees, now."

move out and draw fire
Mom? They're dragging cows up into the trees, now.
LOL!
The pecan groves in Roswell are one of the few businesses that still exist there. We had 2 trees at my house, and used a short iron pipe on a rope to knock the nuts down. We'd get about 2 bushels for ourselves each year.

Hey. New board.
Guys, I'm writing a test question for my computer science class that is basically "Buffistas moving to a new board - the test question". (I'm not naming the board)
Fancy words like "change management", "beta testing", "data migration", "stakeholders", "bug reports", etc. are all being thrown around - I'm basically using it, in context, as an example of a change being done WELL. Gud, naturally, looks real good in my narrative. =)
