So, a faculty member I have known for 20 years was arrested on federal child pornography charges this morning, I learn from the news. Now, this is a classics faculty member who studies sexuality, so this could be a case of "the FBI really does not understand academic research." But it could also be a case of "person studies something academically because they have a personal interest in it." And now everything is horrible and yucky.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I saw that on the news and figured you knew him. Man, that's a mess.

I was looking up sweet and sour sauce recipes online, because I have chicken I need to do things with. I was surprised at the number of recipes that had ketchup in them. The pineapple juice/vinegar/brown sugar recipe looked logical (and yummy), but I'm not picturing ketchup in this sauce in any good way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YIKES, flea!
Connie, ketchup has a lot of sugar and vinegar in it already, doesn't it? I can see it being used in recipes as a sub for multiple other things, on the assumption that people have it in the house.

I'm going to go vote in the primary for Hillary Clinton, the next POTUS.
Go Steph! (boosting your signal just to make sure the universe gets the message)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband's interview seems to have gone well, and of course god knows when we'll hear something else about it.

I throw ketchup in soup all the time for the reasons Jesse points out.
And sorry flea, that's got to feel horrible because either way it is going to be a mess.

Yeah, ketchup is basically tomato+sugar+vinegar.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Fingers crossed for Dana's DH. And thanks for the answer. Figured, but wanted another POV.
Suela, got it, and backflung.
Hee, Danish math 0, Steph 1!
flea, oh dear. Crap, that's... well, it's awful. I'm sorry.

Yearly evaluation time is done, woot! I'm getting a $50/month raise, woot-ish! Probably 30 a month after taxes, but hey, that most of a regular bill. By the end of the week I should know if I get to finally move over to the QA team, and I found out my current manager recommended me. Apparently me and the other person who's been here the longest are showing signs of losing all patience with our customers, so he approves of me finding a different way to use my experience. I'm appreciated! I don't have to go into manager meetings thinking (quite so much) "Am I about to be fired?" I may get to stay here till retirement.
