I can't believe I skipped and skimmed one little announcement.
I meant to send the good vibes to your brother Kathy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Something that only New Englanders will get: I betrayed my heritage at the Mr Frosty truck when I ordered my ice cream with "chocolate sprinkles." THEY'RE JIMMIES!!!!
My siblings and I grew up using that "jimmies". Although a few times here I've asked for jimmies on my ice cream (at ice cream shops) and they have no idea what I'm talking about.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sprinkles have never tasted as good as they did when I was 6.
Today is warm enough that I have forgone my usual afternoon Americano in favor of a boba tea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's very traumatic realizing that what you thought was just the name turns out to be a regionalism. Like when I tried to order a sandwich on a bulkie roll in Philly.
Good luck to your stepbrother, Kathy.
OK, so maybe the words-for-food thing isn't that traumatic after all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think i've ever been able to taste sprinkles, they just look festive.
(eta: I seem to have always known that jimmies was another name for sprinkles, but never called them that)

libkitty, spiceburst didn't get all of my order somehow, so they called me this morning to make sure they had it right. I bet if you called they would be happy to run down the shipping to Alaska options.

jimmies and sprinkles were often called "shot" by my New England mother (who was in charge of all things ice cream).

Huh, I've never heard that, although it makes way more sense than "jimmies."
OMG can I go home yet??

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sophia, that took 10 years off my life just reading about it! Gah.
I'm so glad Owen loves his tv. So much so that pretty much most of the words he says comes from it. But it's been a lifesaver with my back out, and with the arrival of Miss Liv.
