Gris, I'm so sorry about your break up. I'm glad it isn't the worst of them, but I know Gershwin Girl is special to you.
Ginger, I think you're completely onto something with your time warp theory.
ION, is there any way to look up someone's car license plate for free, on the interbunny? There was a creepy person parked outside my house, in a weird spot that is not near anyone else's house, and we're a strictly residential street, that goes no where (it's a circular street) and it just harshed my mellow. Google's giving no free love.
Finally, Teppy, you give us our Bronson back.
OMG, TJs! I tried to go to the NYC one that just opened on Friday, but it was an absolute madhouse. (The line filled the entire store, to the point where people were getting in line with empty baskets, and shopping their way to the register.)
Are you wearing your coffee bra?
Sadly no! I'm wearing the one with underwear all over it. Thought I'd save the coffee one for a Pinot Grigio Experience. (Excellent band name.)

Heh. It wasn't that much difference in Cincy on a Sunday. Have Tep tell you the story about the Uncontrollable Kids and Their Fun Little Carts.
The term "coffee bra" is bringing to mind that myth (Roman?) about the guy who was punished eternally by being put in a pool of water, and cursed with a powerful thirst, and every time he lowers his head to take a drink, the water level drops. Was that Tantalus?
Wow, Jessica. That is, on the one hand, just an amazing image and yet also totally what I'd expect from brand new Manhattan TJ's.
Good luck with the belt tightening, Sparky. I hope the stress reduction makes up for the money reduction. And also that he finds something else soonish, if that's the plan.
Sorry about the breakup, Gris.
I don't klnow about license plates, CIndy. Maybe you could call the police, tell them it's not an emergency but there's been a suspicious vehicle in your neighborhood and you have the plate number? I don't know if that would get you anything, but it might. I assume you already tried just putting the plate into google and seeing if anything came up.
(eta: that sounds like Tanatalus. Also had grapes dangling over his head that swooped to just out of reach when he tried to grab them, iirc. Coffee bra just makes me wonder if caffeine can be absorbed through the skin - like a patch, but with support)
Just wanted to say
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, MALLORY!!
Was that Tantalus?
Yeah. From which we get the verb 'tantalize.'
We are supposedly going to get a TJs here "in 2006," whatever that means. They haven't announced an actual location, though. It may be way the hell north up in Alpharetta, which would be good for Alton Brown, but not so much for me.
Has anyone else noticed the increase in people who block the aisles while talking on their cell phones? They're completely oblivious to other carts.
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, MALLORY!!
Oh, my goodness! Is it his birthday already?? Happy Birthday, little guy!
Good luck to Sparky and DH.
Cindy, that's creepy. I would call the non-emergency police number, if it were me.
