I need help from the Buffista hive mind about food. Is oxidized avocado safe to eat? Say, if I made up a salad of chopped cucumber, tomatos, olives, and avocado on Tuesday night (and covered it all with vinegar and lemon juice), would it still be okay to eat today? Or would the kinda-brown avocado bits taste ooky or make me unwell?
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jilli, they'll probably taste a bit off, but they should be safe.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I despise menthol, but it's so much better at soothing a sore throat than the alternatives.
What about the honey-lemon ones? Those work better than the menthol or eucalyptus ones for me on a sore throat. Now, if I need to actually breathe, menthol all the way.

I've been taking Hall's vitamin C drops (sugarless, mixed citrus flavor) - they don't have the menthol, but they do soothe the throat. You know what really opens up your sinuses? Altoids.

Does your brain need its perceptual settings checked? Look at today's Astronomy Picture. It's a sort of picture of the earth and moon, then check the caption.

Our wings are not tired.
I just had a call from a customer thanking me for fixing her indexing problem. I never did figure out her problem, and now it is fixed. Shiny! I love when that happens, which isn't often enough.

I've been using the honey lemon menthols in conjunction with DayQuil and vast amounts of herbal tea.

I was arrested when I tried to take a similar picture while studying the subject of that picture in college. Turns out it was illegal to lie on the floor and take such pictures. One of the local professors was able to get me released on the grounds of my extraordinary stupidity

There's probably a minimum-doctoral-limit before you can take that picture.

I looked at that picture and went, "That's not an astronomy picture. Why do they have a picture of [what it really is] pretending to be an astronomy picture?" Way before I read the caption.
