I guess they're the reason that the shepherd's purse didn't work! *eyeroll* Tue, 4 Nov 2014 20:21:16 +0000 http://the-toast.net/2014/11/04/unassisted-childbirth/#IDComment904883671 http://wonkette.com/564710/winner-winner-slow-cooked-chicken-and-dumplings-dinner#IDComment903512852 A modern crockpot with a timer and a removable liner is a good kitchen investment if you like low and slow cooked dishes. Once the crock is finished cooking it will keep your food at a nice safe holding temperature until you are home (or awake). I gotta try this recipe out. I didn't grow up eating chicken and dumplings but it just looks so good.

He's "on administrative leave" for six weeks. I am sure there will be some crocodile tears, another non-apology apology, and the ObYesMen saying "he's all better now" and then he'll be back. People calling for his resignation have been both laid off and fired. Meanwhile the board (which might or might not be able to fire him ... unsure, because a lot of the legals got changed along the way to favor Mark) are closing down campuses and laying off staff due to a shortfall in revenue, which they blame on "negative media attention" - instead of, oh, anything their special snowflake selves may have done or said. "And we would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you darn kids!"

We also got a lot of comments and/or nitpicking/oneupmanship about "authenticity". Every time someone mentioned Cuban sandwiches on the group for years, the old hands would snicker, because there was an EPIC flamewar about "Authentic Cuban Sandwiches!" in the group's early days.

Proverbs 31 is about a woman who gets it done both at home and in business. It's used by the fundies to try to keep wimminz in the home doing domestic things, where they're controllable.

It seems like a lot longer than ten years, because I first read it back in the Buttsex and Butterstick days. Wonkette definitely saved my sanity during the 2008 election cycle, especially after Caribou Barbie got on the ticket and _shit got really weird_. (The 2012 cycle was equally as weird, but I was mostly following baseball that year because my teams got super hot, so I wasn't around as much.) Thanks to Our Editrix, the fabulous staff and alumni, and to the Wonkerati for making this one of the few places on the Interwebz where you NEED to read the comments.

I'm an IT operations pro and based on what I heard about the architecture and rollout for that project, it was pretty much going to be a Fail Whale all by its owneo.

(I'm a California product, so not inclined to think much of Texans running off their mouths. Humph.)

Just sayin'. Edit: I see that her current job seems to have nuked her. Not surprising from a national chain. I think she'll be able to find refuge at some local business that isn't as diligent about anti-discrimination though.

(another reason I look down on Turlock, LOL) Mind you there is a lot of this tea-party trash in various parts of the metro area. I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see a dateline of Roseville, Rocklin, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova.
