Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
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.
Kristin, thanks. I try not to be crazy lady, but...they're my responsibility. I gotta fix 'em.
Kat, that's too long! I know!
They look alike and yet...you threw one of them at me, I'd know which it was, immediately. Obviously sibs, but... Noah's HAIR. Grace's round, sweet head. Her jaws different They've both got the Cheeks, but they are shaped differently. It's amazing to me how far they've come. Cause they did look so much alike so freaking much earlier, even though their personalities and reactions differed. And now? They got their own bodies too!
They make similar faces and they both do this weird mouthbreather/tongue thing. Yet they are so different too. But I guess it's that they are obviously siblings and yet little self-contained own beings!
It's funny. As I was writing that, I thought of my brother (3.5 yrs separated) and I's similar habits. And where we got it. We both do this weird huffing thing through our noses, to name one. Our parents don't. Didn't learn that. Didn't teach that ( I didn't enjoy being a sib until...well, um..maybe I enjoyed it once before I recall, but didn't like it again until college.)
It makes me wonder what that person was thinking.
They were thinking that underlining the spaces would be wasteful.
I've not had barbecue west of Little Rock
If you ever go west along I-40, I'm told the barbecue in Ozark is excellent. Never got around to trying myself, sorry to say.
In Fort Smith, try Jerry Neel's. The sauce is more the brown sugar and spices type, and is a nice match to their baked beans.
My Dad had a regular routine, just before he caught his flight out of Fort Smith he would stop by Jerry Neel's for some takeout. He would wait until the cabin attendants had served the drinks and the little packets of nuts, and then he would open the takeout sack and let the aroma fill the plane. He told me he gets some envious looks and some dirty looks, and he enjoys them thoroughly. I told him he's lucky to arrive alive.
Half an hour west of there, on the south side of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, is Wild Horse Mountain Barbecue. Their sauce is more the tomatoes and onions type, and their ribs are more like chops. Heavenly.
Kansas City barbecue hasn't impressed me. Gates's sauce is bitter, and while the meats at Arthur Bryant's are pretty good, the sauce is nothing special.
My Dad had a regular routine, just before he caught his flight out of Fort Smith he would stop by Jerry Neel's for some takeout.
I stop for taquitos before I fly home from San Diego. I drive down to my old neighborhood, fill up my rental, hit Filiberto's, then eat them happily (generally paused at the same place, with the spectacular view down Pershing) with as much hot sauce as my lips can stand and then return my car and fly home.
Mmm, taquitos.
It's nice to have regular routines. And taquitos.
Those are lovely pictures. Are you still hanging a picture of Noah by Grace?
I am tentatively feeling better. No grand proclamations, because that's just tempting fate to drive me back to a Vitamin Water only diet. So shhh.
ita, she does have Noah's picture. it's above her crib and she has another in a toy. Noah has Grace pictures all over the house, but also in 3 of the toys shaped like keys he plays with.
So. tired. But boy is squirming which means a diaper change and a feeding should be in the near future for him.
Also, sorry you are sick. you should take sarameg up on her willingness to take you AND Devi to the vet.
signed,
someone who has gone to the vet to get shots done for herself.
Finally got to the FreeRice site. Cool! I like guessing. I mean, intuiting based on my extensive knowledge of English's many root languages.
That's totally what I meant.
I'm considering breaking up with ER. Not
the
ER, because that's OTP, baby. But the TV show. It makes me cry at random moments. Like any time anyone gets a line put in, or they have a drug seeker or a chronic pain patient.
Which, like never happens. Except on Thursdays.
I can't imagine what TV must look like to new parents, especially those with kids with medical problems.
eta: Oh, Kat! I now give myself shots. You totally should have let me inject you that one time K and I were offering. I'm a natural.
What kind of shots, ita? Sub-cue or intramuscular. Cause Sub-cue shots are EASY and are for wimps and anyone can do this. IMs hurt like a bitch.
