Hey, DW, I hear you. I feel like I irritate the crap out of someone here every time I do the virtual equivalent of opening my mouth. But, you know, I figure people are generally aware that I don't mean to offend anyone, and someone will tell me if I step too roughly on their toes.

Dear People Who Keep Interrupting Me To Ask for "One More Little Thing That Should Only Take a Minute" While I'm Desperately Trying to Catch up to Deadlines: I am about one "oh, by the way, when you have some spare time" away from getting a tire iron and putting this company's profit-sharing-redistribution-in-the-event-of-untimely-death policy to the test.

Then I figure I'll have lots of spare time.

No eggs=bread

Vegan cakes stand up and say, "HEY!" to that one.

But do vegan cakes have some sort of egg substitute?

People are being so punitive now!

"There's carwax in the sheet cake!"

"Chewy cookies have antifreeze!"

"Of course yeast is alive -- haven't you heard of a yeast infection???"

I think we've just about cured one guy of all dessert ever. And sandwiches.

Stick around, dear/DH/dw. We're more coffeehouse than bar, yeah, but believe me, we'll shout if our toes get stepped on hard enough.

dw, what everyone else said. Nothing that's been said here over the last couple of days has risen to the level of kerfufflage -- your brains are nice and spicy and you really seemed to sail right into the flow of conversation very nimbly. No kerfuffling, not even a kerfuf, barely a kerf.

I just squirted lotion all over my hands, pants and the floor, and while attempting to clean up, managed to get a dollop of lotion in my eye.

I do not recommend this beauty regimen.

I hope your eye doesn't sting too much, shrift.

I hate it when I do stuff like that.

Yeah, they put up with me despite my regular PANICS! over in Bitches.

Really am working on those. Trying to get rid of them, or at least reduce their frequency and drama.

But since we're supposed to be saying what we like about ourselves, not what we wish we could carve out of our personalities, I'll say that I'm a damn good writer, and I have gorgeous brown eyes.

Also, I cast my vote with the sugar/no sugar cake/bread distinction. I call my banana and zucchini breads breads only because that's what everyone seems to expect to hear and I'm afraid nobody will understand me if I say "banana cake" and "zucchini cake." But it's totally arbitrary.

eta: Oh, shrift, ow ow ow. My eyes are cringing and watering in sympathy.
