It's hard to make the bed when I get up, because Hubby and the cat are still in it.

I put my boss down as a reference: he may be surprised by that, but he can't think I wouldn't apply, I hope.

He might be surprised that you would apply for an actual, real, existing job, rather than remain in indefinite limbo?

I'd blame the dog, who is not a morning dog and is still sacked out when I get back from the Y, but I stopped making the bed some decades ago.

Speaking of science--one of my friends (who is very into the local food, social-justice-food, etc movement) posted a link today about how Splenda is EEEEVIL, because they chlorinate the sugar, and CHLORINE is used in things like bleach and chlorine gas!!

...I have no trouble believing that making a magic calorie-less sugar molecule is not probably the best idea for our bodies, but...anyone have a better comeback than "SALT is NaCl and it's ...only killing people who eat too much of it!"???

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Chlorine is used in our pools! Will no one think of the children?

Also, ask her if she agrees dihydrogen monoxide should be banned.

Chlorine is in hydrochloric acid, which is in our stomachs.

ION, I want this watch: Belt-driven Devon Tread watches

New in the Watchismo Vault collection, the $17,500 Devon Tread watches, which use a cunning system of belts and optical sensors to keep and display the time. No, I don't have $17.5K to drop on something like this, but if you asked me to imagine what a $17.5K watch should look like, it would be something much like this: "The exposed movement is a mesmerizing display of the patented interwoven system of conveyor belts. This series of belts includes critical elements that allow the optical recognition system to know every belt position at all times."

Chlorine saves us from getting awful diseases from tap water. It's not entirely benign, but way better than typhoid fever, E coli, cholera and dysentery.

Wrod. I shouldn't blame my lack of bed-making on Hubby and the cat. They're just convenient. And cute.

But those are natural!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, ask her if she agrees dihydrogen monoxide should be banned.

That's my favorite.
