You beat me to it.

Wow, different strokes I guess. I think Bey looks sort of like Beyonce for Sears Evening Collection and Kim looks lovely.

It's (very truly) not a shame thing. Fuck other peoples opinion. It's financial.

Will do. Thanks.

The dish you call 'toad in the hole' I've always called 'egg in a basket,' but I'm adopting your version because it's cuter

So, so many people I know have been screwed around by EI for their mat benefits. I had a 3 month fight with them when they miscalculated.

james blunt is unexpectedly hilarious! bigger fan of his than his music.

I haven't got time to watch the whole thing so I don't know if this is where the story comes from, but apparently his real last name is Blount and he was told to change it by his record label because it sounded too posh. He instantly regretted it when it was pointed out in various blogs and reviews that his new pop…

Home school students whose parents subscribe to fee-based testing score higher than public school students. That's a very small subset of homeschooled students, and really doesn't mean much. I learned to verify data and testing methods as a public school student.
