Oh! I know this game!

Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This day is just getting more and more disturbing.

And why do I know what Stiffy is? I can't even iron.
Actually not really related to ironing.
For a party one year, someone asked me to make a set of favors, so I actually used fabric to create fortune cookies. Stiffy is used to make fabric retain shape pretty much permanently. It's not really starch in that it can't be undone with just a quick wash.

so I actually used fabric to create fortune cookies.I have just got to learn how to be creative. As long as I don't try to learn anything involving an iron though. I am not coordinated. I end up with wee little burn scars.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suela, that's great. Congratulations!
Susan, on your whiskey question, I'd only had wine and mixed drinks made with vodka, gin, and bourbon. My first taste of scctch, ever? And not even good scotch? Was "Why haven't I been drinking this all along?" I may have had an occasional marguerita, bloody mary or screwdriver since, but mainly, I've dedicated my drinking life to an exploration of single malts. And well, stout, and wine.

Heh. I guess I could write the story with Anna's One True Love being the single malt, but I don't know that St. Martin's, NAL, Kensington, et al. would be that interested....
Oh, and in the realm of "duh" questions, since it's been years since I last looked at the stuff, whiskey is a nice clear amber brown, right? If it's not, I've got some rewriting to do now before I make a public fool of myself. I mean, more public than here....

It varies, from champagne pale to tea-dark, at least scotch does. It is mostly brownish, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
and if I was giving scotch to someone for the first time - a little splash of water - it take the edge off , so they don't choke.

Timelies!
Susan, if we're talking 200 years ago, 'strong spirits' would have been a main component of just about any medicine, including those with various opium derivatives in it. So she might associate the new taste with medical usage.
Timelies to the rest of ya. I just got woken up for good by the barking of the little dog next door. Check the time stamp on this... I think it may be time for a word with the neighbor, alas.
