The classic worcestershire does have anchovies, but Hil said something enticing the other day about vegan Bloody Marys with non-anchovy worcestershire, so such a thing must be available somewhere.

(It would be pescetarian and pareve, as it doesn't have shellfish or other meat, fwiw)

OH! I forgot to tell you that, inspired by your Spa Week pimping, I totally made an appointment to get some kind of body scrub thing tomorrow!

lisah! YAY! As part of a SpaWeek promotion? The place I was today said they had a waiting list for any openings this week. Crazy.

Man. I'm about to propose a Hairpats for Allyson Thread.

Why can't I stop freaking? I wasn't this freaked when I moved across the country!

I left work early because I felt so nauseous. I am now making some chicken broth and hoping it passes.

I just wish I had access to the new place already for storage!

One more week. One more week.

I hope my hypothetical reaction didn't come out as a judgment.

No worries. I remember your stance on betting kittens. The family I was staying with at the time were horrified that I hadn't decaptitated him on the spot, but that's not my style. Especially when he's picking up the tab. Okay, that's flip. But I try not to espouse my point when there's no way anything positive will come of it. And he was definitely a lost cause.

Happy Birthday Sheryl!

Congrats JZ!

I'm kind of boggled that the guy was willing to share that particular nugget so matter-of-factly, ita. I mean, I get that some people have no compassion or remorse, but wouldn't he have realized that demonstrating the lack wouldn't work out well for him before then?

lisah! YAY! As part of a SpaWeek promotion?

Yes!!! thanks to you! There's a place near where I work.

Query for megan, who is SO going to get a huge thank-you on my acknowledgment page if the WIP ever makes it into print....

What's French for, "Did you hear that? I told you he wasn't dead."

Congratulations, JZ!

What's French for, "Did you hear that? I told you he wasn't dead."

Ahhh, a phrase I use often.

Is the "that" a reference to something someone said (a report of someone being alive, for example) or is it a reference to a sound (I hear a certain sound, so therefore this person must not be dead)?

To a report of alive-a-tude:
1) Very casual speech (contraction, ne dropped): "T'as entendu? Je t'ai dit qu'il était pas mort."
2) Casual speech: "Tu as entendu? Je t'ai dit qu'il n'était pas mort."
3) Formal speech: "Vous avez entendu? Je vous ai dit qu'il n'était pas mort."

On hearing a sound:
1) Very casual speech: "T'as entendu ça? Je t'ai dit qu'il était pas mort."
2) Casual speech: "Tu as entendu ça? Je t'ai dit qu'il n'était pas mort."
3) Formal speech: "Vous avez entendu cela? Je vous ai dit qu'il n'était pas mort."
