Yay ice cream!
And I think the expression comes from "third time I scream" in English.
I was there before you guys
Oh, I didn't know this!
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

the event Shir and I went to yesterday is "book week"
Dudette, you got that all wrong. Maybe you went there for the book week. I was there for the company, and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Dana!!

Jealous! Though I suppose I got to do that....um...good god, almost four years ago? Right before the LAST election. Every cab driver wanted to talk about the election with me.
So tell me if I'm being lazy or if I can run, run like the wind.
Run like the wind, Sox.

I'm always afraid of that Jesse. I'm sorry.
Has anyone been moved by the kind of movers who pack for you?
Yes. I loved it. Though I felt really guilty to be standing there while they worked. I recommend having something to do that you can vaguely keep an eye on them, but also keeps you marginally busy. Like, um, posting on buffistas?
Fingers crossed that any RIFs that hit the NY office bypass me. Not sure when announcements might start coming down
Shit. Fingers crossed, msbelle, that by the time I get to the end fo the thread there's good news. YOu know I've been through this many many times, so I know how it feels!

Happy Birthday Dana!
Happy Birthday Ellie!
Also, didn't we already know the thing about red wine?

Our wings are not tired.
I vote NO RIFS. No more Buffistas need to be let go. Ever.
Happy Birthday, Dana and Ellie (omg SO CUTE Ellie!)!
Meara, I think we might have been in Cork at the same time; I had the same experience! Especially with the Irish who wanted to know about the "Kerry" in John Kerry. I was there the last week of August. You?
Jesse, didya know the organic milk lasts a whole hell of a lot longer than regular? I'm ascareder of curdles than I am of venomous snakes. I buy organic because it lasts months. I read that in the Consumer Reports "Shop Smart" magazine and they're right. I just got back from a 2 week vacation and my milk is f-i-n-e.

The study did not compare the effects of bottled wine vs box wine.
But it's about the effects of resveratrol, which oxidizes quickly. So, if you're not drinking the whole bottle in, I think, about an hour, the resveratrol is gone. Boxed wine isn't exposed to the air until you pour a glass.
(I read an article about all that by a guy who doesn't like wine but started drinking one glass a day for the health benefits. Which convinced me to do the same. So go team boxed wine.)

I vote NO RIFS.
I must be behind on my corp-speak. All I see in this statement is that juliana firmly does not believe that Reading Is Fundamental.

Nah, javachik--I was in Dublin literally the week before the 2004 election (I voted absentee because I was coming back the day before the election and was afraid any issues with my plane might mean I'd not be home in time to vote!). And I got to meet Jars and see the museum with her!
