all the Rankin Bass, Grinch & then anything else is a bonus.

A shitload of wtf: 35 Amazing Science Fair Projects
The most wtf? "Will There Be Minorities in Heaven?" I'm assuming this was at a Christian science fair or something....
Warning - the one on Filariasis (#12) is possibly NSFW.
"Crystal Meth - Friend or Foe?" See? WTF!
I like “Do Boys Need To Get Their Crazies Out To Do Well In School?” though.
feeling restless tonight. not used to feeling like I'd like to go out, but tonight that is what I'm feeling. well, time for mac's bath - that is SO close to being out somewhere.
35 Amazing Science Fair Projects
There may well be a future serial killer in that group.
My favorite is "Teats - An Exhaustive Comparative Study. That kid had tons of text... and Maxim magazine.
I just got up to "The Sphincter - Ringed Muscle Gateway to the Scatalogical". That's just awesome.
Oh, wait - next one down. "Filariasis - bringer of cankles, ballooner of scrotums". With two pictures thereof labelled "GROSS" and "WICKED GROSS".
Wow, I don't even follow college football but that was a huge beatdown Stanford put on USC. Mollywhopped!
Thanks, msbelle! That was a big omission. I've put up a few of him now.
Right now, mortgage goes out on the first and all other bills are set for the 15th and I never ever have to think about it. I need to find a way to have that back.
I have autopay set up for my mortgage with every paycheck, so every two weeks, approximately half of what my monthly payment would be. I don't have to worry about the money being there and I'll actually get my loan paid off a little faster than paying it monthly (because it's the equivalent of 13 payments year). It's one of the options the bank gave me for autopay, in fact.
I haven't been able to get the rest of my bills on autopay yet, though, the due dates are all by calendar date and it's just inconsistent. What I do is every payday I make sure that all the bills that will be due before the next paycheck are paid. spreading the due dates as evenly through the month as you can (weighted by the amount that is usually due) should help stabilize your cash flow. Should. As I said, I haven't got a system for that, myself.
I hope you can appeal the tax bump, brenda. That sucks.
This is cool: Sapolsky's outstanding Stanford lecture on "The Uniqueness of Humans"
Stanford primatologist and anthropologist Robert Sapolsky scores big with this grad lecture on "The Uniqueness of Humans," a humbling, inspiring and sweet 30 minutes on what it is about humans that makes us unique from our animal cousins, and how many of the seemingly unique features of humanity can be found elsewhere.
