I'd rather have a snozzberry.

Sadie does not live in the US.

And daleks visited ancient Assyria.

Here's a interview with a member of the Flat Earth Society. It's conducted by skeptics but isn't confrontational or a debate. That isn't the nature of the podcast. So skip if that might prove frustrating. :) http://www.merseysideskeptics.org.uk/2013/02/be-reasonable-episode-002-michael-wilmore/

Leading cause of cancer deaths in women.

Above spelling level, yes. Above reading level, no (ETA: other than an occasional word or two that you read to him). I'd think that would make the work meaningless.

The place to find out is from corn-free folks. Anyone with a corn allergy should avoid dextrose. My corn-free friends just use sea salt; some use an iodine supplement, but I don't know details.

A small amount of dextrose is used to help stabilize the iodide.

Were she my child, she would come home from school one day to find all her possessions in boxes (and new bunk beds) in your old room and a lock on the master bedroom. ETA: But that's only a start. Echoing suggestions for counseling.

And we still don't know for sure. And it doesn't matter. Skillfully done on the part of Gatiss.

I have an electric kettle I keep on the counter near the sink, shoved back against the wall in a corner when not in use.

Yes, which is why the first response made me smile.

I usually download them direct to the computer via the Nook/Kindle apps, but yes. The only thing you have to be careful of initially is duplicates. You don't want to reload something already on the device. On our nooks, I use an SD card for everything from calibre. I don't know if the Kindle takes SD cards.

Check out Android for Nook. :) http://www.androidfornook.com/ It's easier (and less nerve wracking for the less than adventurous) than rooting.

I keep *all* our ebooks, free or purchased, stored in it, tagged and sorted by series/number. We have four e-ink readers in the house, and calibre makes it easy to manage what is on each of them. I like having access to backup copies of things I've purchased or put time into.

I just noticed you have the tablet, not the e-ink reader. You can install the Kindle app... download it from the Google Play Store. Easy peasy. If you want to read them in the Nook reader app, you could still follow the steps above.

Download a brilliant and free ebook manager program called calibre for your computer and Google "dark reverser" (I think that's it) to find the plugin that will let you convert kindle books. Once you have the plug in, you can easily convert them to epub format (which the Nook uses) unless the ebook has DRM (i.e. is copy protected), but there are ways around that too. I'm of the mind that when you purchase a book it should be yours, so I have no ethical problem with this.

I have an older version of this one by Panasonic, purchased in 2007. I think I paid $90 for it at the time. http://m.cnet.com/reviews/panasonic-flashxpress-toaster-oven/35826617

I'm just having a hard time imagining a fox killing an adult badger.

There's this Finnish Tale, but it's not quite what you're looking for. The Bear as Judge - Finland A dispute arose among a number of animals, namely the wolf, the fox, the cat, and the hare. Unable to settle matters by themselves, they summoned the bear to act as judge. The bear asked the disputants, "What are you quarreling about?" "We are arguing about the question as to how many ways each of us has to save his life in time of danger," they answered. The bear first asked the wolf, "Now, how many ways do you have to escape?" "A hundred," was the answer. "And you?" he asked the fox. "A thousand," he answered. Then the bear asked the hare, "How many do you know?" "I have only my fast legs," was the answer. Finally the bear asked the cat, "How many ways to escape do you know?" "Only one," answered the cat. Then the bear decided to put them all to the test in order to see how each one would save himself in time of danger. He suddenly threw himself at the wolf and crushed him half to death. Seeing what had happened to the wolf, the fox started to run away, but the bear grabbed him by the tip of his tail, and even to this day the fox has a white spot on his tail. The hare, with his fast legs, escaped by running away. The cat climbed a tree, and from his high perch sang down, "The one who knows a hundred ways was captured; the one who knows a thousand ways was injured; Longlegs must run on forever; and the one who has only one way to escape sits high in a tree and holds his own." So it is. Source: Emmy Schreck, "Der Bär als Richter," Finnische Märchen (Weimar: Hermann Böhlau, 1887), pp. 231-32. Translated by D. L. Ashliman. © 2011.

This. Our tree comes down the first Sunday after New Year's Day, just to make sure it is out front before pickup day. This is one time of year I don't want to be in a rush to do anything.

From series 8 of the Simpsons, episode "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer." Homer has eaten a insanely strong chili pepper, gone on a vision quest, and has become unsure that Marge is indeed his soul mate. Marge looks for Homer, and finds him in the lighthouse. DH and I have been saying "I knew you'd do _____ because the road slopes down that way," since the first time we saw it. -------- In the lighthouse, creepy music plays while Homer giggles insanely. Suddenly, we hear footsteps, and the door opening. It's Marge, who was worried when she woke up and Homer was gone. Homer: But how did you find me? Marge: Well, I was sure you'd be on foot, because you always say public transportation is for losers. And I was sure you'd head west, because Springfield slopes down that way. And then, I saw the lighthouse, and I remembered how you love blinking lights. Like the one on the waffle iron. Homer: Or that little guy on the "Don't Walk" sign. Homer: Wow, Marge, you really do understand me. See, I thought we weren't soulmates because... Marge: ...we had a fight? Homer: Right, and we don't like the same things. It's like you're from Venus... Marge: ...and you're from Mars. Homer: [resentfully] Oh, sure, give me the one with all the monsters.

I love my infrared toaster oven. :) It heats instantly and does a great job on roasted veggies from unshucked corn to potatoes tossed in olive oil. Baked potatoes too. The only negative is that it's on the small side. ETA: It also does a more than capable job as a toaster.
