And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

grinding it myself implies that I'm actually awake in fifteen minutes I stumble to the coffeemaker and make the drug before I run to work.

This is why I've trained myself to drink the free coffee at work.

(And yet, I'm still contemplating waking up an hour early so I can go to the gym in the mornings. Am I crazy?)

I'm getting the pig!

I wasn't one of the big objectors (I grew up with alcoholics and older siblings - I got used to nasty smells at an early age), so mock away, by all means. I do remember that it was an AWFUL smell, but no one died. I don't think.

The main problem was that it had been years since anyone had thought to clean the coffee makers and on top of that, someone (NOT ME) had the bright idea of cleaning three or four of the machines at once. And does vinegar go bad? 'Cause if it does, that has to be what they found in the cafeteria.

The other problem was that we don't have a way to open any of the windows up here on the 4th floor, so a couple of people had to go home because of resulting headaches, nausea, etc.

It was a whole Big Deal and we almost had to give up our community coffee. Which would've sucked ass because the cafeteria tastes like paint.

What is even happening?

Ooof. And with no way to open a window on top of it. I think my mock just died.

And does vinegar go bad? 'Cause if it does, that has to be what they found in the cafeteria.

I think when it's bad, it's an obvious bad, like with visible mold growing on it. Sometimes it is cloudy, but that's what's called "mother of vinegar" like a vinegar starter, and not really a sign of badness.

Heh. I didn't have siblings, but...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Unless you count Cthulhu floating in your vinegar as "badness"....

(And yet, I'm still contemplating waking up an hour early so I can go to the gym in the mornings. Am I crazy?)

This is what I need to do and with a gym at work I really have no good excuse not to, other than that I am very, very not a morning person, caffinated or not.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I want to get this for Owen. He's not ready for a big kid swing set yet. This would be awesome for this summer.

Oh, Cashmere, that would be fabulous!

Little Tikes stuff lasts forever too, Cashmere. After the apocalypse, there'll be cockroaches and Keith Richards, and they'll be living in Little Tikes Cozy Cottages, and driving around in Little Tikes cars.
