ELO.
Unpaid Labor
It really is a feminist joke, isn’t it?
Q: What’s the difference between male cooks and female cooks?
A: Female cooks don’t get paid.
Which may be why they’ve always been giving cooking toys and boys haven’t, as if to say, Really, girls, cooking is FUN! Even though you don’t get paid for it, enjoy it, and then you won’t WANT to get paid to do it! Really!!

Aurora Boardealis
Aurora is not very interested in the mHB boards, though she does allow me to view them while she’s sleeping on my desk. Sometimes. Unless I’m typing or moving the mouse, for which I get swatted. Or she starts in with what I call The Tail of Annoyance and flicks items on my desk to the floor.
& A very happy birthday to Ian (& his mom) today!
