My cat (the male) is driving me more crazy than usual lately.

I really need a job to get out of the house more so I'm not constantly tempted to throw him to the elements just for some peace and quiet.

Hell, I want to do that with my 11 year old boy. I'm tempted, but he would just use his opposable thumbs to open the door again. At least it would work with the cat.

@L-B-Heuschkel I'm sorry you are having to go through that. =/

@Arkandel I find that wearing my glasses a little lower on the bridge of my nose so some airflow can get around the lenses seems to help.

I made him pour it down the drain as soon as he got home.

Seems a waste? I would have just re-gifted it to one of your non-Mormon friends or something.

@auspice I feel your pain. I went full-blown diabetic, and pasta/potatoes are my downfalls. My wife makes the best (IMHO) mashed potatoes and I just can not help myself when she makes those.

And oh how do I miss my ramen... ;.; ;.;

Frog Leap Studios - I love me some metal covers and this guy is just amazing.

Seconded... His cover of Sultans of Swing drew me in, and I was hooked.

@sunny Great, thanks again for all the information! It's really a big help.

Meatball Stroganoff

Italian style meatballs (enough to cover the base of the pan)
1+ Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil - just enough to brown up the meatballs
2 cups beef broth
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp each - parsley, oregano, basil
1 cup sour cream
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Wide egg noodles

Start off with frozen Italian-style meatballs and brown them in a little olive oil in a black iron skillet.

After they are browned up nicely, deglaze the pan with about 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and pepper, dried herbs (parsley, oregano, basil). When it starts reducing, add about 2/3 cup sour cream, the cream cheese, and about a cup of heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil to allow it to thicken.

Meanwhile, boil water in a separate pot and add the wide egg noodles. Boil until they are still just a bit al dente, drain briefly and add to the simmering sauce. They will finish cooking in the sauce and also soak up a lot of that goodness.

Yeah - I don't know what the difference between sick leave and PTO are.

These are different things?!

I just learned there are some districts where if a teacher uses more than their allocated days they have to "pay" for their own sub. Either the full daily sub rate, or at least half of it.

Yeah. My wife has to do this...which really sucks when she has chronic migraines. Not only does she get dinged by not getting paid for the day she takes off, she has to pay out of pocket for her sub.

Call me Ishmael. And then the murders began.

@thebird I find things funny, but I rarely smile or laugh out loud about it. My wife on the other hand snickers and laughs and the smallest thing and is easily amused.

Lost my job today...while I was on vacation. Called me to tell me, wheefun.

Anyone know of need for a react front end developer?
