Quote of the day: A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. --Oscar Wilde

We should all have such problems. The Netherlands is closing prisons for lack of need.

Self-promotion without looking like an ass. I freely admit I have trouble with the first one. Like Charlie Chaplin, I'm a brilliant conversationalist, as long as the subject is me. The other things I like to talk about are...difficult in company, i.e. politics, sex and religion.

Kansas lawmaker not only insults first lady (Mrs. YoMama? really?), but uses the blackest magic of imprecatory prayer. Psalm 109:8 has become a meme in the last couple years. And the right doesn't seem to understand the implications of doing such a spell.

Pride Corner:

Good news for gay youth in New York. The Ali Forney center now has 24 hour service. 20% of homeless youth are GLBT. About 62% of them will commit suicide, as opposed to 30% of straight homeless youth.  Now, at least one city has a place to help.

New Jersey plans to introduce a bill legalizing same sex marriage at its first session Wednesday. Gov. Chris Christie opposes it, but it stands a chance.

Predictions for 2032 and 2092 from a SF author.

Religious trauma syndrome, dealing with trauma from leaving a religion. When you believe that you will literally be punished by God forever, as well as punished by the people around you for the rest of your life, it is quite traumatic.

We all hear about road rage and driving defensively. How to drive to improve traffic for others. Good advice for all of us. we spend hours every day behind the wheel. Anything that lessens our stress is good. Out here, as a professional, I consider myself a shepherd to a flock of really stupid sheep. Be the smart sheep.

Political humor: Candidates respond to Obama's Heliocentrism. David nails it.

Adventures in the kitchen

I...am a little shocked. If my kitchen gets more adventurous, I may need a fedora and bullwhip.

Why in the name of Hestia do I own SIX BOXES of SALT?
Am I expecting to have to purify a few acres or something?
I condensed the open boxes into one tupperware canister (powdered sugar sized) and tucked the unopened one to the back. I made sure the salt shaker was full too.

I have more colored sugar than I know what to do with. Mostly from my mother.

And THREE jars of pumpkin pie spice.

*headdesk*

I took out one bag of trash I filled and will dragoon a child who is lower to the floor to get the next one full.

Day off!

Oli had an appointment this morning. We had Subway for lunch and did some shopping.
baked a turkey for dinner
planned Oli's belated birthday party

The kitchen cleaning netted enough salt to meet the needs of the average coven for a year and all sorts of goodies.
