Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to a little onion. Or worcestershire sauce. Mmmm.

I loved the Lea & Perrin's commercials.

Stentorian voice: "Once you were dry. I MADE YOU JUICY!"
It was like porn for hearing impaired amnesiacs.

Any family that was going to let Trixie have a horse can't be that poor.

Is this still related to the burger discussion?

Coding and Sleeping

I made a chocolate layer cake for my wife and it didn't cool off to frost in time for the kids to have some. We told them that they could have a little bit at breakfast tomorrow. Is it bad I have the urge to deny them cake in the morning and tell them that the cake is a lie?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's a refrigerated vending machine at the school that has what alleges to be cheeseburgers.

I suppose you're supposed to heat them up in the microwave.

I wonder if they've EVER sold any.

Just remember, it's less than a month to Father's Day now. But let your conscience be your guide....

I read both of those courtesy of the library book sales. I can still recall the smell. Who was the diamond snood? That had to be Belden.

I remember a pacific island Cherry Ames clearly. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of racism in it, were I to reread it now. But it did give me an impression of how brutal the pacific campaign was. And that was kid lit. OH, that reminds me, I read a Nevil Shute some time back (Requiem for a Sparrow?) and it was a plot revolving around what we now call PTSD. But it was never given a name. It was heartbreaking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, the French swear by them.

Part of my brain thinks they're too athletic to make good meat, but I adore goat, so that's hypocritical.

When my SIL went into labor with their eldest, we found ourselves on base in the Ft. Hood hospital in the wee hours. Caf was long since closed. There are these machines that vend and microwave/heat your selection and then deliver it to you. I think we ate grilled ham and cheese, fried chicken sandwiches and nuggets. There was even fish fillets, but that scared us.

It was 1 am and if we left base, we couldn't get back on. They weren't too bad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Her brother drove a jalopy! (Hee -- jalopy. I still only think of that one car, because it was where I learned the word.)

This is me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still have to remind myself it's not JAL-uppy.
