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.
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.

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.
I'm scared. Not five minutes ago I set up the havahart trap in the attic. Now something is thumping around upstairs. Please be just a squirrel...
Bon's got a good idea there.
Though I have worked with a Karthik who happened to be female, so you'll still run into exeptions.
Sophia! I'm so glad you found my suggestion useful!
(I always keep a couple matchbooks around, in the drawer with the candles, so I can find them by feel if necessary.)
Juliebird, take a big old worn towel to wrap around the Havahart, and then you can carry it out without worrying about your fingers getting nipped or bodily fluids being scared.
