Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Shoulder's still hurting, but not quite as badly as last night.

I'm glad there's some improvement. I hope it heals up the rest of the way quick.

“Not dead yet!”

Sorry for the continuing sore shoulder, Hil.

And Andi, those newspaper people need to be smacked. Can you call their offices and lodge a complaint?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Anne, if you have molasses on hand you can make your own brown sugar. 1 tablespoon molasses to 1 cup sugar for light brown, 2 tablespoon molasses to 1 cup sugar for dark.

Gronk. Think I need to neti pot and do the hydrogen peroxide in ears thing today - not enough sleep for the last several days has me worried about that cold everyone has getting past my immune system.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh yeah, the molasses thing should work well. Also d, good plan with prevention. Shut those germs out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

he he ... Anne's "whoopsie" story reminds me of when I was in college and a visitor (friend of a friend at another college) was talking about when his mother redecorated their living room. The focal points were two large lamps with big, hand-painted silk shades. They had Chinese characters on them, were really beautiful, and she loved them. Then they had a Chinese visitor who took one look at the lamps and cracked up. The characters read, "arrogant rich".

Snerk, a Chinese friend of mine routinely had people bring him things written in Chinese to interpret. He was Jamaican and had no clue how to read Chinese, but he made up the greatest translations.

d, here at my school it was illegal to have the temp over 84 degrees- this was when it was summer (though the heat malfunctioned a few weeks ago too). We had to go home if the temp got that high. I don't know if it's my workplace or MA state law or what, but that's the number they use here.

Yeah, we're going to have to do it. It seems like at least once a winter we have to let the newspaper people know that their snow removal guys need a talking-to.

d, good luck with the neti pot and hydrogen peroxide.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Gronk. So little sleep last night.

Anne, I forgot to buy eggs last night for baking. So, I'm in the same boat. I was going to make brownies or a quick bread just for us this week. For Christmas I think I am mostly making various kinds of chocolate bark to gift to people we don't buy gifts for. Does anyone have any good recipes/ideas besides peppermint bark?

sj, we make bark with dark chocolate, dried cranberries, and pistachios, which is always pretty yummy.
