Anyone else here just wanna stay in bed today?
The look of hope fades as JH realizes the temptress lives hours away, and was likely speaking rhetorically.

Ruth and I had a fight last night. Apparently she has decided that all I ever do is talk about getting the bestiary. I swear I only mentionedit once yesterday and that was to say tht if thre is a $5 service fee on the prepaid debit cards, that maybe we should look at other options in getting it.
I found free internet in Montreal, in spite of everyone's attempt to make me pay. Ate at Les Trois Brasseurs last night; crepes & coffee for breakfast. Seems pretty civilized. Getting a bit of "where's your suit?" attitude. Kiss my gauche Americain boohonkus.

Hey David, have you made chicken marsala, or anything similar? I know you do a fair amount of cooking, and I'm trying to make it for company tomorrow, and I'd love any tips.
No chicken marsala, I'm a recovering alcoholic so I try and avoid cooking with anything that has alcohol in it. I do have a good Chicken Castellina recipe that I swiped fro Olive Garden while I worked there if you would like.
Edit: I'd also be willing to give up my Paste e Fegioli recipe if you need something for the soup course.

My biggest concern is the sautee time of the chicken seems very short, but that may just be the result of the high heat and the flattened chicken breasts. I'm also concerned I won't be able to fit all the chicken I need for four people in one pan.
Thanks for the soup offer, but I think we're going to have salad, and there's going to be brie as an hors d'oeuvre, so I think we will be covered. Although if you felt like sending any recipes via FB, I would never complain :) I'm sure I will use them sooner or later.

Th cooking time is generally lower for flattened boneless breasts. Depending on theresipe, they may also be factoring in time for it to cook in the sauce as well.
Discussion Part Two = teh suck. :(
Somebody shoot me now....please?
Folks have got food on their minds. Looks like a slow day.
My online time will be very limited, so these will be more like dispatches whenever I can find a moment and a connection.
Hope Aberzombie gets his share of TX hospitality.
What is Discussion Part II? Online? Sorry Lynora if I missed something.

No, nothing online. A continuation of a bad relationship discussion that started late last night.
Sorry, Lynora. Hope things take a turn for the better soon.

Well, they'll take a turn one way or another soon. God, I hate ultimatums. :(

OK I'll wait patiently here then... :)
Alright... I suppose I should go to bed... y'know... it being 4.30am and all...
Nite (Afternoon/Morning) Folks!
G'night, flash. Sleep well.
Wow, it's quiet in here today. I'm gonna go run some errands now I guess.

I am sorry that things are STILL not going well. If you ever want to talk, my e-mail addy is on my profile.
Emperor7, I'm glad to hear Tracy is getting better. I'm praying that her recovery continues.
Aberzombie, it sounds like you are having a good time in Houston.
Lynora, sorry to hear about your relationship troubles. Much as I'd like to pry, I don't think I'd be too helpful. :(
David, sorry to hear about your fight with your wife. I hope you've smoothed things over.
Howdy to everyone else here. I hope your day is going well.
I am all ready for Mona Day.
It's in the "Can we stop designing/balancing and just play" thread. I will send you my address on FB.The thing I find funny is that so many people will argue so hard for not playing a game on a board dedicated to the hobby of playing games.Where are you seeing this?
Thanks. There was a great article by Monte Cook in the latest KQ about playing by the spirit of the rules. He pointed out that there was no game that was ever going to be perfect in the sense that someone couldn't find something to exploit. I suppose I should just be thankful that I've never run into anyone (other than the rules lawyer/overbearing optimizer) that needs to "win" a role-playing game.

So I heard from the school. They have offered us the opportunity to do a homebound study. This basically means that for 30 days they will have him come in after school for an hour or hour and a half a day and he will do his work and study then. This will give me time to get him on the meds, see if the meds work, and get his IEP in place. If he qualifies for the IEP than legally can move him to any school I desire that has the programs I see that will suit him. And His Charter school has said they if the meds help nd things calm down, than he is welcome back. :D
Deep breath...things will be ok.

That's good news, right? At least you know what's ahead of you. Have you seen a doctor about meds, yet?
I hope it all works out, and he can go back to the charter school.

It is good news. I am relieved. And yeah, I talked to the doc, he has an appt for Monday. So the meds will have time to work...and we have time to adjust them, and decide what works and what doesn't. Now I just pray that the meds work. I will feel horrible for giving in and medicating him if it isn't what is needed.
Quiet post.
Has anyone here read the Man in the High Tower?
I read it almost 20 years ago for a college "Literature of Science Fiction" class. It was a good alternate history story from what I remember, but, other than the major plot points, the details are lost on me now.
