'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Stopping using fluoridated toothpastes coincided with a cessation of the mysterious cystic breakouts around my lower lip. I've read that some people are allergic, and since I'm allergic to everything else, why not. It's been years and my teeth are still fine, so I guess brushing with fluoridated water is enough.
Fluoride. Always looks wrong.
Ooh, now that it's summer, I should be making hibiscus iced tea, which I do by throwing the dried hibiscus into water and leaving it. No sugar. Perfect tart and delicious, and more or less like the agua de jamaica from Mexico.
Oh, also, I bought lemonade off some kids on the street just now. Possibly not the best day for it, since we just had the torrential rain storms, but as the one kid said, "We've got to do something!" It is delicious -- real lemon in it.
I feel quite comforted by that. My (Hec-recommended) stylist is actually really nice and empathetic and everything, I just feel... frumpy. Also, boring. And then of course I have to take my glasses off (which is a relief in the not-having-to-look-at-myself sense) which means I end up staring at people unintentionally. I'm just resting my eyes, but they don't know they're just a peach blob.
OK, documentaries with a lot of underwater shots should not use white subtitles. I may not have HD tv, but even with it, it can't be easy to read!
Whereas, the whole vitamin water concept strikes me vaguely as the liquid version of "Just eat a frelling muffin, whitey!"
Yes. Yes it does. This is how it strikes me, exactly. I wonder if this is a New Englander response.
The CEO of Whole Foods used a sockpuppet for EIGHT YEARS to support his company online:
I'm so enchanted by this idea, that I'm afraid to read Salon and break the spell.
Aw. Lady Bird Johnson died. [link]
Um, can lower GI stuff manifest in back spasms? Cause there seems to be a time correlation between that and nearly barfing at work when my back inexplicably seized up (and slowly worked down, it was freaky) a la hormonal cramps.
This is a cool blog idea.
Ha! That's my co-editor Kim.
She does cool Crime Bus tours too.
eta: Oops. I lied. She did the first one like that - 1947.
