We're doing a fundraiser at work. Pay $5 a week and get to wear jeans every Wednesday. It starts next week. Guess who is wearing jeans today. Oops.

It was almost certainly a sweet potato. Yams are much bigger then sweet potatoes.

Why did I think that the link would bring me to a page about Karen Finley?

:-)

Huh. The more you know.

AND, the more you know!

You learn something new everyday. I don't really eat them but now I know the truth.....my Mom's candied yams were really sweet potatoes in disguise!

Did I tell you this one before? I forget. ;)

So, I went to Target and asked at the electronics section for a tape recorder.

*Blank stare from young clerk.* Then a medium-length discussion with me about why I wanted a tape recorder.

"I just want a voice recorder," I said. "It does not have to have tape. I don't care if it has tape. It's like saying record when I mean cd, okay?"

By this time, the clerk was convinced I needed big buttons and big letterson the voice recorder screen because, of course, I am an old person using old-person words like tape recorder.

Did he also direct you to the Metamucil section?

Yeah, that's a reference that helps on this issue.
