LOVE lisah's thrall about this whole turn of events. So very great!

awww thanks!

ooh! I have a cleaning question. What do people use to clean the insides of their refrigerators?

What do people use to clean the insides of their refrigerators?

Smart people probably use like, vinegar or something harmless.

I am not smart, so I use whatever totally chemical stuff I use to clean my kitchen counters, but then I usually wipe it down a couple times with some water, after, to make it less chemically, inside the fridge.

Um, hot sudsy water for the most part. And elbow grease. But I'm no housekeeper, you should probably get someone else's opinion.

ION, homemade play dough is a rip-roaring success!

vinegar and dishwashing liquid

Trudy, yeah, because then I can meet Keith Olbermann. That would rock. ETA: You don't suppose he'd believe Too Much Candy is a Southwest custom, do you?

Hmm... if I torch Fox News I'll leave a big mysterious sign saying "Too Much Candy is a Southwest Custom" and you'll have to illustrate it for Olbermann.

Cashmere, yeah, sounds like the odds of you getting the money back are slim -- but you're doing a good thing, a very good and loving thing. I hope you realize that.

Goddamn Grey's Anatomy for introducing such an annoying euphemism.

The. Word. Is. VAGINA.

Hah!

That was a great moment though -- she's my favorite character and having her use baby talk in that moment was priceless.

Hell yeah, but I get pinged when it's used period. My HUGE problem with "drank the Kool-Aid" is the whole Jonestown reference, drinking the Kool-Aid means accepting a suicidal proposition. REally? Voting for Obama is equivalent to suicide?!

I've always taken it in the broader sense of "beliving so blindly you'll do anything".

I also have an old-fashioned dislike of obscene t-shirts. I swear myself, but that's to a specific audience. The "Go Fuck Yourself" or whatever shirts one can see always make me think about the poor grandmothers who will be truly bothered by seeing it while walking down the street.

I have one obscene t-shirt that I adore but (for this very reason) it is only worn to concerts and bars (and concealed in transit).

I like dressing for the theater -- though not usually crazy dressed. It ads to the fun for me.

When I fly I wear loafers, but I always wear loafers. They're like being secretly barefoot at all times. (I tend not to wear socks)

Hah! Not normally (although I'm really good about getting rid of old food out of it generally). But my kitchen is all brand new and shiny and my contractor cleaned the outside of the fridge (and the stove!!!) and now it's just not right that the inside isn't sparkly clean as well.

ah I have a squirt bottle of this made up already. I need to get some rags. I use way, way too many paper towels.

I have to send that APOD to a photographer friend who did a whole series on feet. Phoenix feet!

And she'll laugh and call me a big dork.

I wish I were home and watching the Cubs game right now--they're doing a 60th-anniversary-on-WGN-game, complete with retro uniforms, TV announcers in 1948 clothes, and even broadcasting a few innings in B&W with oldtimey awkward camera angles.
