Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WHAT KIND OF SPICE???? That's scaring me.

::sigh::

I need to contact my health insurance to find out what info I need from them to legitimise my use of FSA funds to pay for my thyroid inoculuation. I need to contact some subrogation people to convince them not to sue anyone for my knee injury.

They send me a questionnaire dated the 9th, and then a "WHERE'S OUR QUESTIONNAIRE?????" letter dated the 12th. Christ, people. Even if I hadn't been in fucking AFRICA, the 9th is a Friday and the 12th is a Monday. How was I to get your mail and respond by mail (one of the options) and you get it by the 12th. Fuck off.

I left a pretty inchorent bitching message last night.

Now I have to work out how to state that they should just pay the damned bills for curing me and not try to blame the whole business on someone else. I'm so angry at the very attempt.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Pepsi Holiday Spice

I've been curious since last year -- *what* spice? Turmeric? Thyme? Basil? Garlic?

(I know, it's probably cinnamon or nutmeg, something like that. But I'm amused at the possibilities of what it *could* be.)

t edit Heh. x-posty. I even have a rant in my LJ from last year about what spice it could be.

folks, never in my life have I heard of such a thing. The things I learn.

Seriously. I'm wondering the same thing. I mean, Old Spice?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm pretty sure my culinary secret boyfriend Alton Brown used either Coke or Dr Pepper as part of a ham glaze.

Well, if Alton did it...

I loved his cake episode.

If I only had a brain...

"Push button. Hold hands under warm air."

My favorite alteration of this adds a third line:
Dry hands on pants.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"Holiday Spice" usually = cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger. (And possibly allspice, mace, etc.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That Pepsi sounds like it would be great as a ham glaze. And come ON, people -- in this country, "holiday" spice is cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe ginger, cloves. Like that.

mace

I started laughing at the above. Don't attack me, ham!
