Okay, I read while I was still undercaffeinated, and therefore overly serious. I was afraid you were on the expressway to heartache. Being a kissing fool is the opposite.

Annoying, Ginger. I'm one of those who generally prefers to just split it up as long as there's not a great difference, but I strongly believe that the moment someone voices concern, that should end the matter. It's not fair to put someone in the position of having to push about that.

I am the person who hates everybody getting tense over the bill, so believe it or not, t O.O.C. I shut up and let the group tell me what to do. t /O.O.C.

If Person X is feeling like Ginger did, I throw in the extra ten bucks for Person X, because I would pay money not to be uncomfortable. I generally take the approach opposite to Nora's and order cheaply, so that I won't be broke when it is over.

Pneumatic tubes are SO 20th-century. Teleportation is where it's at, baby.

Yeah, well, I blew my transponder last week and haven't received a replacement yet.

Paul and I make fantastic crepes, and we're about as close as SF.

What do you like on your crepes?

Coincidentally, I made goat cheese crepes with fig sauce for dinner, much to the DH's dismay.

Oh my god, that sounds so good. How exactly would one go about making this fig sauce?

Making out with gay boys is covered in the Facts Of Life manual in the chapter called All Of The Fun And None Of The Guilt. My favorite chapter. I think they also cover Gummi Worms in that chapter.

In a group dinner situation, if I'm aware ahead of time that we'll be splitting the tab evenly, I let others order first and then I try to order in a similar price range. But I would never assume that others should help me pay for my $30 meal if their tab came to $15.

Hoping -t has a safe trip with few surprises.

That's totally the 21st-century equivalent of "The check is in the mail."

Hec, I like a port and raspberry sauce or lemon butter on mine.

I love the port and raspberry sauce--I've been making it since before I could legally drink--and wish I would remember to write down a recipe for it.

Tep, the batter takes 24 hours to prep, sadly. Mind you, most of that's "resting". (And really, it only rests overnight, but still.)

We had pumpkin ice cream yesterday--a brand from SF--and I wanted to be in Ohio so I could try Graeters. I shake my fists at you with access.

I was thinking about that and I think that is another thing I haven't really had.

Heh. I want to hear the gay boys talk about making out with straight girls, now.

I am a big proponet of splitting the bill evenly, but usually with people I eat out with a lot. and if I suggest it it is usually " do we want to split - or figure out what each of us owes". and honestly, sheer laziness is the key. If someone says figure it out ,that's what we do. One time when we put it on our credit card for a large group - everybody had money for themselves - but at the last minute everyone decicded to treat three people.- so people didn't have the cash. within 48 hours people made up the difference.

Today we are putting in a new reciever. ( our old one does not handle everything it needs to handle) . this is involing hole drilling , new shelves, and new wires... I though we were done with the plan - i tried to rake my tiny yard -- it took forever, because I kept having to go back inside...
