I'm so classically Virgo in that way—the cool exterior that masks a really sensual, earthy inner self, but no one believes me when I say that and I don't let the inner self fully out except with someone very trusted. Or to lesser degrees, in my adult writing, my cooking, or on occasion, my clothes.

Barb, I suppose it must be because of how much time here is spent talking about writing, cooking, and clothing, but I've always assumed passionate and sensual about you. Then again, passionate is a default assumption I make about authors. I figure a writer without passion is like dessert without chocolate: can happen, but not very interesting.

Hugs to all Bitches who want them. Warm fuzzy thoughts to the rest of you, anyway. Also, Harvey-purrs.

He won't regret it. If he's a beer drinker, he'll be in heaven. And my (admittedly biased) opinion is that the food kicks ass. It's a few rungs above "bar food," and really well done.

I think this is why I like online so much—the impression that people get of me before they meet me is so much closer to who I really am, versus meeting me for the first time in RL. Part of that is because in RL I can be very shy and withdrawn.

I think that's the same way for me Barb. There's a level of.. safeness.. to being online and being more fully myself.

The Boy just yelled from the other room that I should say we bought the VANILLA mixer.

Hee.

So, Teppy, have you finally admitted you're no longer vanilla? Some days everything may lean closer to Rocky Road, but I think you could lay claim to something nummy like Almond Mocha Ripple or the like.

Though my favorite is still rich, yummy vanilla.

so very true.

How long after consuming alcohol is it safe to take aspirin and acetominophen? I just got a massive headache, but I was drinking last night. What kind of liver damage am I risking if I take something for my headache?
