I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[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.

Oh, dear. I just got the new Pampered Chef catalog. Quick! Someone take it away before I spend about $500 on kitchen products that I have *nowhere* to put!

Dude. Seriously. Put it down and back away slowly. Weren't you going somewhere? Don't take it with you.

Nope. Not going anywhere anymore. Allergies are too sucky.

But you should see all the pretties! A roasting pan that wouldn't fit in our oven! A $69 bamboo cutting board! Kitchen porn!

Thrive to spite them

For Christmas my brother got me a Pampered Chef spoonula that's fantastic. Also a 8 cup measuring bowl w/lid that you can bake a cake in. There was a recipe.

I use those all the time.

This reminds me that I need to get my chef's knife sharpened.

Oh, the marvels of the large batter bowl...the barbie cake, the over-the-hill cake that I spared Emily of, the football cake, the perfect pancake bowl...actually, it's just plain the perfect bowl. Ah...the wonders of fabulous kitchen products.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Question for the hivemind: Do I have the right to be upset that someone is choosing the Rolling Stones concert in Hershey over our wedding on October 1?

I need a reality check.

Close family friend, Drew. I can understand not attending the evening reception, but I got the impression that they won't be attending the 2 pm wedding.

I don't understand why somebody would tell you why they were skipping your wedding. Why not just decline the invitation and send a gift? Telling you the reason is bound to lead to value judgement discussion.
