But it IS going to be perfect weather!
I am inclined to agree with you. It has been FAR to hot here this winter.

Kristin is a freak with hot weather. I think this week sounds halfway decent for Orlando, but she loves heat and is fine with humidity. She's crazy that way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have scraped and scrubbed, but I feel that there is a thin layer of plastic on the burner, and all I can do is burn it off and stink up the apartment and possibly fill it with toxic fumes. thoughts?Turn off smoke detectors first? Because if you are going to have to deal with icky toxic fumes, it should be silent.
At that stage, honestly? I would just burn it clean. I have no other tricks to try.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Letting it burn is probably all you can do; that's been my experience in the past.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Health~ma for Ginger's niece.
Glad you decided to go to the former BiL's, Laura! I recently got to see a while bunch of people that I hadn't seen since I was about 100 lbs lighter than I am now, and I was self-conscious about it, but once I was with them it didn't matter at all.
I cannot recommend the Aeropress enough for single serving coffee. I bought it as a novelty but it makes a really excellent cuppa joe.
Do you have a vent to turn on above the stove, Vortex? That would help with the toxic fumes.

Sonus, insent.
Thank you, sir!
Um, also, you don't have an email address in your profile.
Well, I sure feel sheepish! I shall fix that, pronto.
... There we go, now there's a listed email address.

She'll have to come in July or August sometime.
I hate living in a swamp.

That's one way to use your gift card.
It's so nice to see that children are learning traditional skills like lock picking.

I love mine. It's faster and easier to clean than a French press, plus it's unbreakable. Of course, I also have a French press, a drip coffee maker, a backup drip coffee maker and an el cheapo espresso machine. I have a small coffee problem.

Mostly lurking...
what game are you guys watching, vw?
Vikings vs. Broncos. Vikings lost. Boo. But, I did drink a massive foofoo drink.
It's nice to have traditions.
Yes it is. It was also nice to just hang out with him. He’s such a good, sweet guy.
Welcome home, Cass!
I have a small coffee problem.
We call it a strength.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Ed, who spends Christmas week with us every year went to school with one of Leonard Bernstein's daughters and is good pals of the family. They made him watch this and he turned me on to this: [link] which is the Youth Orchestra of Venezuela playing at the Proms. The conductor is apparently a huge rising star (and is ADORABLE), and you can see it in the discipline and spirit of the orchestra, which is comprised of at-risk or poor youth. Ed tells me the Bernstein family think it is one of the best performances of the piece ever. It will make you smile, too, because it is so much fun!
