They do have an HK Roomba
I wonder how much trouble I would get in if I got one for the house ...

Yay--My boss just told me not to come in tomorrow! This "working" during the holidays is really turning out to be a good plan.

Oooh... megan-- you'll know the answer to this I hope. Is it "cher" or "chere" when abbreviating "cherie?" I've seen both so I'm not sure if there's even a quote/unquote correct version.

Well, "cher" is masculine and "chère" is feminine, so it depends on whether it's "chéri" or "chérie". If it's "chérie" with an "e" on the end, you should use "chère".
Also, be careful because "chéri/chérie" is a noun whereas "cher/chère" is an adjective, so it's usually before something, for example, "Cher Monsieur" or "ma chère cousine" at the top of a letter.
ETA: proper accents!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
HK roomba! WANT.
he English (or whoever) in the US used it dried, called it coriander. Spanish-speaking Latin Americans used it fresh, called it cilantro.
Or called Chinese Parsley.
We were just at CVS. Some girl was standing with her foot on the car window ledge and her other foot on the seat of her mother's car. Her brother was peeing on the car door and mom, mess that she is was ignoring both of them even when girl said, "He's peeing on the car."
I am tired. My son is sick. And I have zero tolerance for egregiously stupid public behavior. When I got into CVS, the boy was yelling in an aisle waving his penis around (he must be 4 or 5). Mom? No where to be seen. As I walked out I said the boy, "You better put your penis away or someone might cut it off." That made him scream and run.

Pete, ND says now he wants a Roomba with an appliqué of that picture of your head surrounded by the little green monsters so he can watch you (and I quote) "Tool around the house and under tables and running into walls."
Hee.

I'm using it in the Cajun/Creole French way as a casual endearment within dialogue.
And ETA for extra thanks on the accent knowledge!
