I'm going here for dinner. Poutine! [link]
Don't let them trick you into eating scrapple, Brenda!
I just finished cooking up about a 3-day supply of bison chilli, and am now enjoying it and laughing at the snowpocalypse.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Kat, I really want to visit you guys this weekend.
OK! Saturday afternoon is perfect for me if you are up to it. I'll be home unloading boxes and will therefore look forward to interruptions and any reason to procrastinate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to be back in my neck of the woods for my massage at 6, but maybe before then. Email me your address, will you?

Question for people who were buying clothes in the seventies: I'm looking at this Sears catalog page [link] , and what's up with the half sizes? There are sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, and then half sizes 16 1/2, 18 1/2, 20 1/2, and 22 1/2. My guess is that these were the women's sizes (by the way, why is it that so many stores call the regular sizes "ladies" and the plus sizes "womens"?), but what did the 1/2 signify, and why the overlap with 16 and 18?

I know that there's a difference between 14 vs. 14W and 16 vs. 16W but I've never seen half sizes before.

I believe you are right, Hil, but my brain almost remembers

I was figuring it was just an old way of marking the W sizes, but then I noticed the ad in the corner for the special catalog of half sizes AND women's sizes. Which would imply that there's a difference.

Could they be tall sizes?
ETA: I looked again and they have tall sizes. Maybe petites then?

They might have been plus sizes for teen not women's bodies.
My dinner was inspired by Hil. I haven't eaten very well today. so I just sauteed some yellow squash and onions with thyme, basil, salt , and pepper I sprinkled parmasan cheese on it.
