Leaving burners on (the wrong burner, with something flammable on it) is how I set my parents' kitchen on fire 3 times before I was 16. This is why I prefer gas to electric.

I'm just watching Parenthood and there's the best scene with Lauren Graham at the OBGYN she says,
"I thought 40 was the new 30"
and the doctor replies "Not for your ovaries."
Oh man. yes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This is why I prefer gas to electric.
Wait, isn't a gas burner left on more likely to cause a fire?
Magnetic induction all the way, baby!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You can see a gas burner is on more easily than electric. But, obviously, magnetic induction is awesome.

Y'all just inspired me to check if I'd turned off the oven for realsies.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That was excellent. I'm watching The Living Planet. There are sawfly larvae that will defend themselves against ant attacks by regurgitating a resin, which sticks to the ant's head. It can disorient and disable the ant by covering its eyes and antennae; even if it doesn't, the scent of the resin masks the ant's own smell. When it tries to return to its nest (where it might report the larva's location), its colleagues attack and kill it as an intruder.

Argh. I hate stupid job sites where you have to upload things and then type them in and so on...and I especially hate that I apparently managed to submit without the cover letter I did and put in there, and I can't find any way to take back my submission or add the cover letter! GRRRRR.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
meara, I totally feel your pain.
So no written offer yet, but the company sent me directly an online thing to fill out so they could run a credit report and criminal search on me. GOOD SIGN that the verbal offer was not just a HUGE JOKE ON ME.
just ignore my mind.

Oh Lee, my condolences to you. So sorry.
Ugh, not a good winter for aged pets.
And silly msbelle, of course it wasn't a joke on you! You are fabutabulous!
