Dude, it's like you just handed me the Holy Grail that's been kicking around in your hall closet for a while. Thank you, Liese!

Eta: I see why I haven't come across it before. PC only, apparently. If it's that useful, though, I can make it work.

If the dough tastes good I'm sure the cookies will taste good. How unfair of the universe to arrange itself so that you have to wait to try them!

Huh. There used to be a Mac version. It's 4.06, you might be able to find copies of it floating around on the web, I hear. But you'd have to run Classic. Says the internet. I dunno.

Anyway, yeah, it's great. Sorry I didn't manage to rec it before! It has some limitations and some weirdnesses, like all programs, but I've been very happy with it.

Well, if I had started baking immediately upon arriving home from work. . . but I was too clobbered. I needed to decompress a bit first. Plus, figure out those substitutions.

Welcome, Gadget Girl! All I know of Central Florida is Lake Ocala, where I went on vacation a few (er, or, actually, 8) years ago.

The Boy is in the basement, unblocking the pathways to the 2 heating vents down there, because the heating/cooling dude is coming tomorrow to clean out the vents/heating system. It's supposed to be extremely helpful when living with pets, and given that The Boy has had 2 dogs and and average of 3 cats and hasn't had the vents cleaned in the 5 years he's lived here....you do the math.

I'm expecting that the vent-cleaning dude will find about 500 cats' worth of hair.

I've got a Windows environment, and access to DH's PC, it'll be fine. I've always done my searching looking for Mac software, though, which is why I've never seen it.

Hey Gadget Girl, welcome to the Buffistas.

I'm in North Florida and enjoying the 80s weather here, although I do wish it would get cold for Xmas.

Is Consuela around? I'm looking for a film that came out recently that is about the apocalypse in Los Angeles. There's some sort of killer infection and a dude locks himself in his house and is faced with keeping his wife (who may or may not be infected) outside.

I can't remember anything searchable about it. Damnit.

ETA: Found it!

Sounds familiar, Allyson.

I went and played Scrabble and had $1 tacos and $2 beer. It was good. Yay, the Scrabble Bitches. We were talking about various ridiculous things, and how was it possible all four of us were now single, and then realized we were a sitcom. The one who has a crazy love life, the one who just moved to town, the one who just broke up with the long term girlfriend, and the shy one...plus the wacky friend not playing scrabble but knitting and occasionally interjecting funny things...There was more to it, but I've forgotten. It was, however, highly entertaining to us.
