pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath, I’ll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me -
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away...---Stone Temple Pilots
Thanks for beminding me, SparkS....

Gee, because it couldn’t POSSIBLY be that the Senate has more important things to do and really has no business with this crap.
And JEBUS why does everything have to be partisan???!!!
Chavez says Venezuela has good reason to be concerned given the history of U.S. military actions in places from Iraq to Afghanistan*
“The people of the United States are governed by a murderer ... a crazy man!” Chavez said in a speech Thursday night.
*hmmmmm....slip of the tongue, worried about something or just plain paranoid???????
When you take a hot shower in the winter, close the bathtub drain and let the warm water fill the tub as you shower. It takes a lot of energy to heat water and it is just wasted if you let it run down the drain while it is still warm. By saving the water in the tub, it will slowly transfer its heat to the room air and reduce the heating load on your furnace. It will also add humidity to the air, which most homes need in the winter. After about three hours, the water will have cooled and you can open the drain.
The only drawback to doing this is that it can leave some soapy deposits in the tub. If you use a detergent-based bar soap, not Ivory, the soap residue problem is minimal.
I dunno about this, but I’m just sooooo relieved that it didn’t say and save it for the next person’s bath like I was fearing.
Mom,
Be my voice. I want this message heard. It is mine and my platoon’s to the country…
Why of course, and with blessings.

For the most part, this world was created by longtime Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. .....
Songwriting, he writes, is “above all else and beyond all else, a language of direct emotion”; hence he did not allow his lyrics to be printed with Dead recordings initially, preferring listeners to mistake the words to their own liking.
“I never foresaw the day when someone would jimmy those words apart and do an encyclopedic search of their meanings,” he told Billboard in a rare interview. “Maybe it’s my age, but a lot of those (annotations) seemed obvious to me—but it occurs to me now that they might not be evident to succeeding generations.”Indeed, he pointed to a line in Dead classic “Truckin“‘: “She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same/Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine.”
”What suggested that was a (1950s) Pepsodent commercial,” Hunter said. “I thought a few people would pick up on it, but, of course, no one did.”
Yes, it all makes sense to me now.
...I wrote down random numbers to correspond with each line (such that) the first would have three syllables, the next five, then eight—or whatever. Then I took that format and wrote the words, and then wrote another verse to match. So I chose to obey a different numerical law than the usual type of rock song structure, and it came out as one of the strongest songs I’d ever written.”
Hold me.
My mother-in-law’s coming for Yule to New Year’s Eve. Again.

Umberto Bombana, Chef de Cuisine at Hong Kong’s Ritz Carlton hotel, prepares ‘Lobster in Savoy Cabbage, Anchovy and sweet Garlic Sauce, Porcini Mushroom Emulsion’, with the 1.2 kg Alba white truffle at the hotel in Hong Kong November 18, 2005.

The truffle was served at a private dinner in Hong Kong on Friday
Get away with murder, then bitch about it.
