Fred, if I haven't told you yet, I think that what you're doing is wonderful.

I skipped, I confess. What good thing is Fred doing? That involves makeup? Oh, now you've got me doing it, damnit.

And now? Between this conversation and Lost last night? I'm having a total Party of 5 flashback, to an episode when Charlie-who-has-since-become-Doctor-Jack had to go to his baby brother's school and the student teacher was doing that, and he completely flipped his shit out and started yelling at her to STOP TALKING LIKE THAT YOU'RE A DAMN TEACHER DAMMIT, at which she flipped her own shit right out right back and snarled that it was a verbal tic that she and her speech pathologist were working on and why did he have to be such an asshole about it?

Which has practically nothing to do with either Lost or this conversation, but I'm hitting "Post" anyway just for the sake of the random.

giggling at Bev talking in questions

And it's not the fun kind of "Questions", either, i.e. R&G Are Dead.

I'm hitting "Post" anyway just for the sake of the random.

I've skipped hundreds of posts, and this was the line I got to. I think it's very fitting. Um, hi, everybody!

So this was my post-of-the-day. Let's see if I'll be able to atually participate in some sort of conversation.

Beverly, here's the story. Briefly, donating to an organization that focuses on helping women enter the workforce.

fred, can other people donate? I desperately need to clean out my closet,a nd I know I have some business stuff I never wear anymore. Mostly because it has shoulder pads or a wide belt, but it's still nice stuff that can be worn now with a few adjustments. and hell, some of that stuff is back!

Thanks, Fred. That really is a worthy cause. I've done that with a couple of closet purges, myself.

no dutched chocolate. but I think - if I remember everything Alton has said - it is important in non cooked /less cooked things - where the acid can interfere with flavor and not a problem in baked goods.
