we're not talking about single mother's or contraception anymore, are we?

ION, rooibos/vanilla tea? THE YUM!!

There are all kinds of reasons why people are single parents (or functional single parents) and if they want to shame people, I have no use for you and I hope the good people of WI will vote you promptly out of office.

Oh yeah, to be absolutely clear, I agree with you le n. The bill can only be motivated by the wrong reasons, with the intent to shame for no good reason.

Now I'm not sure the yeast activated. Do I dump in the flour and mix it and possibly waste 6.5 cups of flour? Hmm.

No you don't, you get more yeast and start over. I'm not much of a baker, but I'm pretty sure the whole point of proofing the yeast is to see if it's working before you waste all your time and flour making a bread that won't rise properly.

How fucked up is this? My new hire just had his year end review with his old manager. Halfway through, after going through his scores and comp online, she noticed she was sharing her entire desktop as a Livemeeting. At least two of his former coworkers were logged in, though hopefully not still actually watching.

I mean, it's no single parent bill, but still.

See and now I read -t's post and think I gave Amy the wrong advice. So take my advice with a grain of salt?

brenda,

what a massive fuckup.

I've usually found that, if there's any little bit of bubbling at all, the yeast is fine. The only time it hasn't been was when there were absolutely no bubbles at all. And I think that modern dry yeast doesn't go bad as often as the old kind did.

That's not a massive fuckup. A massive fuckup would be four layers of management doing something obviously boneheaded, and not realizing the consequences of their actions until it was far too late, and pissing off a whole bunch of important people in the process.

Hypothetically, I mean.

Is it cold?

I think the water wasn't cold enough. It didn't bubble. So do I ... heat up the mixture a little? If I just add more hot water then it'll be too wet, I assume.

I missed Hil's post. Hmmm. I'm going to stare at it for a while longer, I think.

HYPOTHETICALLY.

Single parents make up about a third of all Wisconsin parents — all part of a grand leftist conspiracy, according to Grothman. “The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock because they are far more likely to be dependent on the government,” he explained last July.

Hmm... That sounds paranoid so I checked to see if it was taken out of context by looking for the quote on a right-wing site. Nope, totally in context the article author praised him for "getting it".

"The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock because they are far more likely to be dependent on the government. They are 20 times more likely to wind up in prison and 9 times more likely to drop out of school. Well-known author Charles Murray said, Children born out of wedlock, are “the single most important social problem of our time – more important than crime, drugs, poverty, illiteracy, welfare, or homelessness because it drives everything else.” While we can talk about jobs, education, or crime, our economy and freedoms will inevitably decline as long as the number of children born out of wedlock keeps going up."

Yep, drinking the right-wing Kool-Aid. Somehow I doubt there are many people on the left working to try to lower the standard of living for everybody including themselves.
