[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm getting pretty annoyed myself, Cashmere.
We had a furnace problem in college. Our furnace went out on our rental (and it was FRIGIDLY cold). We figure out that it was some kind of switch for the thermostat that was at issue. If we kept the thermostat on 80, it stayed on ALL THE TIME. If we put it on a reasonable temperature, the furnace would quit and we couldn't restart it. We weren't paying the gas bill, so we chose 80 degrees.
We sat around sweating in our underwear in January.
Hmm. Go figure. I adore hummus. But not if it's too heavily spiced. I bought the plain for the boy. He ate it spread on Zwieback toast. His wee hands were all hummusy.
I missed that Deena's furnace is still not fixed. That's so wrong.
I like hummus. Especially with lots of garlic. I also like chickpeas straight out of the can.
Does anyone ever worry that the tests which can have such a huge effect on a person's future are scored so screwily? I mean really, and what's with the 400 points just for showing up?
my SATs (combined 1250, I think?). Both, though, my verbal was higher than my math.
Nora is me. This is what I got, as far as I can remember, and my verbal was way higher. Math, I think I got some points for showing up.
Owen likes hummus!
I only discovered it about two years ago, and I like it as long as it's the plain variety. I'll offer it to the baby next time we have some, though, because when I think of all the things I never tried till I was an adult, it's fairly pathetic. We were a Wonder Bread, plain mashed potatoes, canned green bean kind of family. I will say that my mom is a much better and more adventurous cook now, though.
Deena! Much furnace ~ma to you and the family. I can't imagine being without heat for days with the little ones. Stupid landlord.

AmyLiz get out of my brain!!! I was JUST thinking this while feeding the baby. Really. I mean, I never even had yogurt until college. Or Chinese food. Or asparagus. I know my family was stretching a modest food budget to feed five kids and so we didn't eat out or anything but I'm simply amazed sometimes at the kinds of things Owen will get to try that I never even imagined existed until I was an adult.
I love hummus, but like most things these days, require it to be light on the garlic.
Our water heater is broken. Waaaah! I am not human without my shower first thing in the morning.
My verbal SAT score was 330 points higher than my math score (720/390).

Eek! I'd invite you to use our shower, but we're not there!
Mmm.... Jen in my shower... Thank you, you just made me smile!

Hee. It wasnt budget so much for us as that my mom didn't love to cook, and she was also ill a lot of the time (lupus and back surgeries). So we got a lot of Campbell soup-based casseroles and stuff out of boxes.
I've tried to give the kids as many different foods as possible to try, and Ben especially digs it. He loves lox and cream cheese on bagels, shrimp, lobster bisque, anything spicy... I don't think I even had a taco until high school.
