I'm not familiar with beer bread; what's it like?
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I saw a recipe for beer cinnamon rolls the other day. May have to dig that up.
Huh. I love cinnamon, and most beer, but that just makes me think eww.
Okay, I'm a strong woman. I can take care of myself. I pay my bills. I change lightbulbs. I take out the trash. I'm good on my own. I can handle things.
That being said....
There is a Big Ass Wasp in my window..the inside part..and all I keep thinking is I wish there was a man around to take care of it.

To be fair, I expect you'd probably welcome any gender of rescuer. The Girl is spider-killer in our family. I am a wuss.
Do you object to spraying them with poison until they shrivel up on the window-sill? (Wasps, that is. Not Girls.)

Absolutely true.

1) I don't have any poison. 2) I do have a cat that I don't want to get into the poison if I did have it.
Good news...it seems to have found its way back out the way it came in (through the screen somehow) and I have closed the window to insure no repeat entries.
Ooh, I hate when stingy flying things are in the house. Last time a wasp was inside a window it was the one next to the front door, so I left the door ajar for a little bit and the wasp flew out which was very lucky because I didn't have a Plan B.
I once called my boyfriend and cried because there was a waterbug in the bathroom. He came and excuted it.
In my current boyfriendless state, I call my sister and cry and I arm myself with a broom and keep an eye on it so it can't sneak up on me or FLY AROUND again. Then when it gets close enough to the front door that I can sweep it out I do. Then I cram stuff under the door so it can't come back in and get me. Then I stay on the phone with my sister for another ten minutes until the adrenaline wears off. Then I fall asleep for nine hours.
Either way I'm utterly pathetic. The first solution is just more efficient.

Preferably one you don't really like all that much, right?
Jilli-fonted for non-bat talk. When I was in college, one morning I tried to leave the apartment only to find a tarantula on the outside of the screen door. In Ohio. It's not like they are native. The spider was at least four inches across, black, and fuzzy. I ran back in, told my roommate, and she said, "Are you sure it's a tarantula? It's probably just a big daddy longlegged."
To which I replied, "Only if it's a big daddy longlegged, wearing a fur coat."
After she saw it, she agreed that it was a tarantula. Not wanting to touch it ourselves, we decided to ask one of our guy friends to take care of it. But we chose one of the guys who was more of a hanger-on than an actual friend. Thankfully he was willing to check it out. By the time he got there, the spider had moved on. I'm not sure if we were more thankful to not actually owe the guy, or freaked out due to having no idea where it had gone.
On the other hand, when I lived in Arizona, the first few times I killed scorpions involved a lot of screaming and spraying of toxins. After a while I got so accustomed to them I was willing to smash them with thick newspapers. I even left one particularly perfect flat scorpion on one of the walls for a while. When I mentioned it to a coworker, he said, "Sure. I do that too. If the place smells like dead scorpion, maybe the other scorpions won't want to come around anymore."
