I should note that in the interim between my first soft-boiled egg post and #5275, I had more gastrointestinal badness of a disgusting variety. No details, except now there's more laundry.

I'm utterly mortified and ashamed that my boyfriend has to (1) see this and (2) deal with it. Seriously. I started crying in the bathroom because I was so embarassed, and now I can't stop.

Teppy, you didn't get sick on purpose. I understand not wanting to be taken care of, but I suspect that you would step up and be caretaker girlfriend if The Boy had been the sick one this time around. Also, take drugs.

I love eggs over easy. Yum. And soft boiled, too. Gimme them yolks!

I have to say I'm boggled by how many Buffistae had to put their houses on the market this year when the market tanked. Plei, Suzi, Herself, Cash... It's brutal.

Our experience wasn't fun, but we were LUCKY in that we had the company buyout and the cash on hand to pay to get it ready to sell and to carry two mortgages for a bit. We got ours on the market just on the cusp of the collapse so it could have been much, much worse.

The relocation company still hasn't sold it--even though they've reduced the price to $25K lower than they paid us for it. It's listing for just $6K over what we paid for it nearly 10 years ago.

Hey there, SLNRLBF! Season's greetings to you, mate.

Teppy, I don't blame you for being embarrassed to hell, because this is a decidedly unsexy level of intimacy - but don't beat yourself up about it. These things DO happen. I'm sure that if your roles were reversed, you'd just be feeling bad for The Boy, and you wouldn't be blaming the poor sod for his illness.

Seconding what Laura said.

Do you put the eggs in the water and bring it to a boil or drop the eggs into boiling water?

Eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. I do the 4 minute thing too.

Put the eggs in cold water and bring it to a boil.

In lieu of latkes I'm eating hash brown patties.

Tep, I'm sorry you're having all the horrible GI distress.

Maybe just limit things to dry toast for a while, eh?

It's cold and rainy here. I've put brandy and kahlua into my coffee and I'm listening to my (quite excellent I must say) Swingtime Santa mix.

Emmett's homework is done, including extra credit timeline.

Aw, Teppy. That sucks. I've been there. Having someone there that can take care of you and deal with those sorts of things is a good thing, though.

I knew if DH could cope with that, he could help me through any sort of physical problem.

So eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, turn off heat, wait 4 minutes, nom nom nom? Or boil for four minutes, nom nom nom?

I HAZ MAGIC BEER.

A whole case!

Which is still sitting in the trunk of my car.
