My dad got his first tattoo a few years back. And then last year he showed up with his second -- a huge thing on his calf with an angel and a devil. This was the one he got while deciding on the tattoo he REALLY wants. So, Steph, expect more!

More advice requested: I have too much skim milk and am making dinner for a friend Friday. Any common recipes that use up a lot of milk? Maybe lasagna bechamel. I'm at a weird loss. (She's making dessert so that's out.)

Most of the shit I need to get done is doc prep, so it's typing or nothing.

Two o'clock got cancelled.

Man, my accuracy is for shit with just one hand and a thumb. It's kinda weird.

Pretty much that or mac and cheese are the only things I can think of. Or soup.

I'm screening the 1994 congressional hearings on tobacco and I feel dirty just listening to these guys lie through their teeth.

I can't figure out why they bothered to talk to those lying millionaires. Why didn't they just pop outside, to wherever the smokers were huddled out of the freezing rain and ask THEM whether or not smoking is addictive.

ita, you need voice recognition software!

Any common recipes that use up a lot of milk?

There are some great Italian recipes that call for braising pork in milk. Super tender and yummy.

I was going to say soup, brenda. It's the only thing I can think of other than some kind of sauce.

Moussaka?

moussaka and maybe bolognese (the kind with milk) might be good...this is very helpful!

Timelies all!

Meh. I've had this headache on and off the last couple of days. I keeping throwing Advil at it, but it keeps coming back. I hope it's just due to the change in the weather.

I just saw a kid riding his bike home from school. He had a helmet, but wasn't wearing it; it was just dangling from the handle bars. I'm guessing when he gets a block or two from home, he'll put it on.
