Buffista parents take note - Children's Place is having a massive sale right now
We hit it yesterday for Sara -- long-sleeved fall shirts marked down to $7.99 and then an additional 50% off. We scored so. much. stuff.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can anyone explain the mystery of how Moxie soda is still being sold after more than a century despite tasting like it does?
My childhood best friend drank it with milk. ISTG.

Can anyone explain the mystery of how Moxie soda is still being sold after more than a century despite tasting like it does? I like old-fashioned sasparilla drinks and thought I'd give it a try, but I can't imagine anyone willingly choosing to drink that swill over water.
Because its pretty much the only soft drink we Mainer's can claim as our own and dammit we are not giving it up! Besides, we find it funny when you out of staters are silly enough to taste it. I haven't known anyone since my great-grandmother who willingly consumed that swill! :D

Congratulations, Jess on the baby chickadoodle!
Happy engagement, Gris!
My uncle (from Maine) drinks Moxie.
We all just had a photo session with a photographer friend. He left at almost exactly noon, and the husband, dog and baby are already sound asleep, exhausted by their turn at being models.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a bottle of Moxie in my fridge that's been there for a couple years. Does it go off? Can it? Will I ever bother to open it? Probably not.

I have drunk Moxie once, I think. My stepmother's father (of Maine) liked it. He also put butter on oreos and saltine crackers, and died of a coronary in his early 60s.
Does a website exist where you can input a name and be told what language/ethnic group the bearer is likely to come from, and what gender s/he is? (This was my in-the-night thinking last night.) A former coworker who is Chinese always puts (Ms.) after her name so people know she is a woman. I can distinguish a Japanese name from a Thai name from a Korean name, usually, but would have trouble with gender in the latter two. For gender baby-name sites are okay for European names but useless for the rest.

Pilot light is lit. I didn't have a match, but I twined a toothpick in the fork and lit that.
Like every year, I am terrified I will die for a few days until I get used to having the heat on.

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

The latter might be possible with google images.

Does anyone want a Buffy card game starter deck? Its getting heaved as part of my ongoing downsizing. Box is slightly squished, but there are instructions, a play mat, and a deck of cards in there. I played it a couple of times with Sumiko at the Chicago F2F a million years ago. Would happily drop it into the mail to a Buffista. Unless of course there is a Buffista museum. If there isn't, there should be.
