Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I'm, pretty sure Italian Beef is a Chicago thing -- I've never had it either.

I am SLOWLY getting over my raw tomato fear, and will now eat them as long as there's a stronger flavor in the dish. So I'll eat alla caprese, that steakhouse salad with iceberg lettuce and blue cheese, salsa and pasta salads with cherry tomatoes, and even sometimes refrain from pulling bland winter-y tomatoes off sandwiches, as they're mostly flavorless anyhow. I still don't understand the appeal of the raw, unadorned tomato, but that just means more for everyone else.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. I remember how the booze-abstaining came crashing to a halt last year thanks to the fucking WB execs. (Or was it FOX?)

I think last year, I either didn't bother or gave up sweets. I'd have to check the logs. I know that the year before that, I cheerfully pulled my "get out of Lent free" card when we went to war, because no way in hell I wasn't self-medicating through THAT.

Now, of course, I have so many restrictions that giving up anything else for non-medical reasons makes the kind of sense that's not.

This year, for my birthday, I'm going to want to have good sushi, rare steak, and salad with bleu cheese crumbled on it, all washed down with a healthy mug of beer. Then for dessert, I shall eat cookie dough.

heh. A friend of mine was on hospital bedrest for the last few months of her pregnancy and had a lot of food restrictions that she couldn't cheat on just a little bit because the nurses & doctors would have conniptions.

So, on the first day post c-section that she could have food again, her husband arrived with rare steak, some other delights that had been banned that I can't remember, amaretto cheesecake and a bottle of her favorite red wine. She was very grateful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Of the cats I have owned, more than half have come when called. No treats.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Gus, are you anti-flair? Say it ain't so.

It ain't so!

* threadsucks like a mad thing to discover what anti-flair utterance I might have uttered

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Both of my cats come when called. They also come to the front door to greet me when I get home.

Just being funny because you said something about the buttons at TGIFridays that Mike Judge has taught me to call "flair"(I should've put the quotes on, because surely "flair" and flair only meet up by accident.)
