Thanks, Kristin! I have two more hours here, and I think I will do the Neruda research now.

Thanks for all the advice!

Doctor Wordy has a sister who is our District Dem chair. The first time my mom and I ever met her, she asked my mother this long-ass question that made her all "???" "I think she wants you to make coffee," I offered. "Why doesn't she just say that?" All these months later I wonder that every time she opens her mouth.

But after finding out that they all turn to Play-Doh smell on me, I haven't ordered any more. Boo hoo.

I should bundle up a bunch of the imps I don't wear and send them off to you, because I reallyreally doubt anything is going to lure me away from Pink Moon (which I now have 9 bottles of, and that doesn't include the entire bottle I used to make perfume spray. Of course I would get hooked on a BPAL scent that was only available for 24 hours ...)

Tiiiiiiiired. Very, very tired. Stupid Insomnia Fairy, ignoring the Sonata I took last night.

I wouldn't say no to that, if you're so inclined....

Do you know about kosher for passover Coke, t? They use sugar instead of corn syrup and in springtime you can stock up on the bottles with the marked caps.

Not anymore, Trudy. There was a recent ruling that corn syrup and other "legumic syrups" don't violate passover rules (it was written in fine print on several things I tried to buy this year), so I can't trust the kosher for passover stuff to be corn syrup free anymore. The rabbis are not looking out for me.

Not that I've ever been able to find the kosher for passover Coke or Oreos, but I'm betting they won't be worth searching out.

I do buy Mexican Coke whenever I see it, though.

Those rotten rabbis! The ONE time kosher food was fun...

Thanks, sj, I didn't know that. The brand is Tetley--they make a decaf version that is fairly easy to find in most supermarkets.

Just got up from an hour nap. It felt sooooo good. Even better since the boy is still asleep.

I put a roast in the crock pot this morning with carrots, celery, onions and red potatoes and the house smells DIVINE!

Man, young people need to stop killing themselves. On top of the girlfriend paranoia, now my mom's afraid I'm going to kill myself over not getting a job. Come on, I have too much television to watch to commit suicide. Plus, we have to give Cash's baby a Buffistacular nickname. I'm not going anywhere.

I know! I think it's really funny that I used to look forward to Passover a lot when I wasn't Jewish, but now, nsm.

Oh man, I was hungry before, but Cashmere's post is really pushing me over the edge. Even virtual pot roast smell is irresistible.

"Tiny little tea leaves...make Tetley tea"

On top of the girlfriend paranoia, now my mom's afraid I'm going to kill myself over not getting a job.

Is THAT a cultural thing too? (A serious question. Is there some similar-to-Japan tradition of offing yourself for failure?)
