I really want to try the Chopin now. I will have to see where around me sells it.
I also need to go to TJs today, but not for Vodka.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does anyone here know anything about air-purifying fluorescent bulbs? They sound kind of hoaxy to me, and they're about 8 times more expensive than the regular compact fluorescents, but OTOH, if they work, mine would be exactly the household that could use them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just checked my freezer stores, and it turns out I have Stoli and Chopin. Chopin is no doubt because of a Buffista recommendation. I'm very much not knowledgeable about vodka. I just know that the Gray Goose gimlet I had was terribly smooth.
Hmm. I should have asked the brands of alcohol used in my last two gimlet taste tests. Shame on me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Although I have no experience with them, I doubt that they will work any better than other air ionizers, Jess.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Jessica, I've read some reports indicating that the ionizers aren't worth it.
Stems bacterial growth and forces precipitation of many airborne contaminants, including pollen, dust and dust mites, viruses, second-hand cigarette smoke, animal dander, odors, and toxic chemical fumes.
The "precipitation" means that the bad stuff will stick to the walls/floor/etc. instead of floating in the air. Not so much with the filtering.

Congrats Consuela!
I had to quit my last job over the phone too. But it turned out okay!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Congrats, Suela!
It's snowy! All the ponderosa pines are covered with it, the boughs and long needles heavy with white. Yesterday, before the storm, they swayed and buckled. Today they are all content and still.
It was very neighborly this morning, everyone out clearing their cars and porches and chatting. Supposed to get down to 6, evidently. Our road was icy, but the plow had just gone, and the main roads are fine. But it's all going to freeze again tonight, so look out after that.
But I'm done with my vocal classes this morning, so I'm tucked in with the dog. Lots of paperwork to do, and today's a good day to do it. I sure as heck am not going out there again. Except you know, when I have to pick up the SO. And when I have to get the groceries. But other than that!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay, Consuela!
I think there is a forcefield keeping me from doing anything useful today.
