Also, some random blather

[featherynscale]

I meant to mention that I dreamed last night that I was directing a remake of Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster, starring several of our agency's consumers. (I work with an agency that provides residential support to developmentally disabled adults.) Even so, mine was better than the original.

Also, my Free Will horoscope for the week informs me that in golf, if your ball lands next to a live rattlesnake, you may move it anywhere you like without penalty. We sort of figure there's a similar "alligator rule", but that if it's an alligator, you just get another ball and take the shot over. I'm not sure where to go with this as advice for spiritual development, especially since it's a personal policy to keep my balls away from rattlesnakes as much as possible. But there you are.

Also also, orcjohn came over last night for the Annual Festival of Tax Letter Preparation, so if you happen to be a person who contributes money to Gaia Community, your tax documentation from us is forthcoming. He also brought a lasagna that opaljax made for us, which looks very yummy, and which could feed the three of us for a month or so. (Therefore, if you come to visit us in the next week, you can pretty much expect to be fed lasagna. Life is hard.)

That reminds me...

I need to get a gift in kind form filled out for the $230 I spent on the Gaia bumperstickers.

Re: That reminds me...

Oooh, I can help with this!

You can download the form from the files section of the gaianrituals yahoo group. Fill it out, keep a copy for you, give a copy to orcjohn and POOF! that's your documentation. :)

FYI: I do not know whether you are required to send the letters regardless of whether the recipient needs to receive them, but I am not itemizing my taxes this year so you don't need to spend the international postage for mine. If law demands that they be delivered, please give it to niveus_tigris to be put in my lock box (which is in orcjohn's garage).

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I was hoping you would say that. It is my understanding that we are required to distribute them, but I will be more than happy to give yours to your executor.

What do you know that I don't?

[zylch.livejournal.com]

Er, attorney-in-fact, I think that is. If my executor gets involved, I have rather larger problems...

Happy to save GC a few pennies!

Oh, and your box is no longer in our garage, niveustigris has it now.

Snork. I should warn you, it's a bit spicy. I think I put too many red pepper flakes in it, but it is very tasty. Have fun!!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Naw, I had it for lunch today and it was super-tasty. But then, I like too many red pepper flakes. :)

Thank you!!

*note to self, if warning of too many red pepper flakes is made, and K says it's ok... DON'T EAT IT*

So noted to self...

Given my usual dietary preferences, it's probably just safer to strike anything I enjoy eating off your list :)

Evidence: Last night I had a cup of hot cocoa prepared the way I prefer it: half the recommended cocoa powder, hot water, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla, and about 3/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mmmmm....tasty.

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

Mine would be double the recommended powder one quarter the water for that double (makes almost a paste it does) then add warm milk and stir well. Mmmmmmm.... tasty :-)
