My mother, whom I love dearly, cannot understand that in order to have dinner with her tonight, at the home of people I don't want to see, I need to spend the day working on a Monday writing deadline. My husband has kindly offered to take her and her boyfriend around the city today. Boyfriend: "What do you mean Cathy's not coming? Why does she have to work on Sunday?" I know he's just channeling my mom.

aaaarrrrgh

You're only as good as your grease.

When working with high heat, the first contact between the cooking surface and the food must be respected.

In all fairness, it's likely because Celtic music gives me the flu. See also Riverdance.

The replacing of the medial /t/ sound, by those not possessed of a Cockney or like accent, with a glottal stop. Let ?=glottal stop. Think mitten, mountain (minh?in, mownh?in). Also when used to replace a final /t/ sound – at, what, summit – and particularly galling in the words shouldn't, couldn't (pronounced as shunh?in and cuhn?in).

Guess it's just my day to be annoyed.

Ah, the music of my people.

Leaving aside the music, I could listen to Fiona talk all day. I never stop giggling.

That's because they are within the margin of error.

I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

(this is non sequitur)

I was just thinking that the type of person who justs immediately sets me off is one I would call a "goody two-shoes". If something someone says or does (or even sometimes justs looks the part) raises my "goody two-shoes" antennae, watch out!

And BTW....whats the derivation of that phrase anyway?

curb your god

If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. (Voltaire)

One is often told that it is very wrong to attack religion because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. (Bertrand Russell)

Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)
