See, I had never been to a baby shower with favors, and yet? The other people involved in planning the baby shower that's happening at my place tomorrow were perplexed at my "Buh? Favors?" reaction. I just got done making 30+ sachets of chocolate rose truffle tea.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Never been to a baby shower, so I've got no idea about favors.
I just saw another one of the atheist bus ads. I thought those were done already? I haven't seen any of the response ones yet, though. (My reaction to pretty much all of this is, "Seriously? You want to have this discussion through bus ads? Really?" Also, from what I've seen from the pictures, almost none of them get the apostrophe right in "for goodness' sake." Which possibly bugs me more than any of the ads do.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jilli, that sounds like a very nice favor!
My tv, internet, and phone are back on! Very small in the scheme of things, but I was starting to really miss them.

I've been to both. I wouldn't necessarily expect them, but I wouldn't find it unusual. Chocolate rose truffle tea sounds very interesting.

I've gotten packages of mints. And I won a game and got a candle once.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Lovely favors, Jilli.

The Buffista quandary. We want to argue the theories sure, but first we'd like the grammar fixed. (This is so me.)

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.
I've actually seen swastika quilts before, mostly from the 1920s or earlier, when it was considered a good luck symbol.
Well, I did Google it, and the first hit was a question/answer crafts thingy that said, no, that old quilt you found with swastika designs wasn't made by a Nazi sympathizer, because it used to be a very popular motif. Naturally, and for the reason we all expect, it has pretty much ceased to be used.

But of course.

Seattle's reaction to a few flakes of snow is kind of amusing me.
Went to waltz class, only three people showed up (plus the teacher, four) (last week I think there were....12?) Did make for a very personal class, though!
Am v. annoyed at Girl. Seriously.
Going out with friends later, though, which should be good. I hope. Not sure what to wear, though. CD release party for a boy with guitar act, but then maybe a burlesque show. Hmmmm....

So me as well--I'd be like "I WANT to agree with these people, but they have bad grammar, so I"m not sure I can..."
Glad Teppy got some relief.

I was googling for a recipe and found one that included "1 cup desecrated coconut."
