Oh, tommyrot, that sucks. Vibing dry~ma to your violin and your clothes especially -- to everything, definitely, but especially those.

Re Obama: even as a rabid coffee drinker, I can accept and understand that some people just don't drink it. I can even allow as how those people can even be my president. But hating ice cream? Wha-huh? Just like him, I had a summer job at B-R as a teenager, but it did not lessen my love of the stuff, not even one little bit. Because it was a very hot summer and we had a lot of rather ill-behaved customers (and one horrid co-worker), I lost quite a bit of love for my fellow human beings that summer. But ice cream? Unpossible!

Maybe he's developed lactose sensitivity? I don't eat ice cream (except in dire hormone-related circumstances) because of that. Well, that, and I vastly prefer sorbet or plain frozen juice.

Dry, tommyrot, dry!

Many viewers want to buy the puppies, but they're all already spoken for.

"All puppies are cute. Do your research on the breed to make sure that it is the right fit for your lifestyle and personality," the dog's owner advises. "Remember, this is a commitment for life so don't take these steps lightly."

Every now and then, people need to be reminded of this fundamental fact: "All puppies are cute."

ION, I wish I could do laundry tonight. But the landlord's in the midst of redoing the laundry room, so my only option is a laundromat. And I think I'll be home too late to do that tonight....

What a horrid first-world dilemma: Risk my clothes, or miss fiddle class....

Right now I have windows open. When it's cold out, it tends to get rather dry in the apartment.

Current humidity is 68% with rain forecast for tonight.

My grandfather made ice cream for 30 or so years and would come home every night and eat a bowl of it.

I worked at Dunkin' Donuts in high school and it was about 10 years before I could eat donuts again. I love 'em now! Also, it put me off coffee (which I hadn't started drinking) for a long time. I didn't drink it through college. It wasn't until I moved to SF and coffee shops were EVERYWHERE that I tried it out. And I started w/ mochas (like hot chocolate but sort of coffee-tasting) and progressed from there to straight up coffee w/ cream no sugar every day.

tommy, is there a laundry service near you that could take of your clothes for you?

Yeah, but that's the humidity in the cold outdoors. Take that 68% humid air and warm it to indoor temp, and the humidity is much lower.

Daisy, I'm sorry to hear about your little brother.

Maybe I'll just go to a friend's house to do laundry tonight... I'd just have to suffer and be tired tomorrow....

I like the cut of his jib!
