It was sleeting here about an hour ago. Now it's snowing. So, it's a-comin'!
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Snow has reached the lakeshore. Woohoo.
I never realized the importance of shrimp to holiday parties. I don't think I ever experienced a holiday shrimp plate before 3 or 4 years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just set up my sister's laptop for her. Booked Supershuttle. So ready to go home, and it's still a week.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that heart-healthy festive gatherings are not only not so festive, they kind of blow. No shrimp,
OK, I thought shrimp WAS heart healthy. I thought the idea that it was bad is obsolete. High Cholesterol and low fat and thus overall lowers rather than raises cholesterol. Is that in turn now obsolete?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Just finished wrapping gifts for my family. I got my niece a stuffed pig that's likely almost as big as she is, and completely round and so very soft, plus Madeline and a Madeline doll (which she's too little for, still), a half dozen Boynton board books and a Pookie doll. My nephew got nine books including the new pigeon book and a stuffed pigeon that yells "LET ME DRIVE THE BUS."
One of the books is a pop-up book about poop. There is pop-up poop. It should go smashingly well. I got my parents 5 tickets to an amusement park so they can take the whole family this summer, which they love to do.
Drop off at Fed Ex, and hope 2nd day shipping gets it all there by Tuesday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Those sound like adorable presents, KR!
There has got to be a classy way to say he was Deep Throat but it's nearly midnight and everything sounds skeevy.

That's not classy, it's just French. An easy mistake to make though.
I mean, he wasn't an entirely unskeeztastic guy, but he nudged a lot of light into one skeevy corner and I admire that.
What's French for unskeevtastic?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
DH brought me my Hannukah present early - he got me a Soda Club!!! So tonight we had homemade seltzer with our salmon. It was nummy.
Right on! I still love mine unreasonably. And the loud noise it makes when it's carbonating never fails to make the dogs bark. I don't know what they think it is, but they're determined to scare it away.

HMOG - we've got a snow day, and it hasn't even started snowing! I wish I'd known this BEFORE I came into the office. Oh well, get some Xmas shopping done and head back before the white stuff starts flying.
