I'm arguing with a colleague who thinks Dr. Laura has a point in saying that divorced parents shouldn't date b/c it's traumatic for their child.
It was only traumatic when my mother dated a guy I had dated. And the dude who'd done prison time.
Beyond that, I was okay.
So, a vodka martini is not a martini? So, what is it? I only ask because this was the only kind I was aware of until recently and I prefer it to one made with gin.
Also, what is the definition of a "wet" or "dry" martini?
Oh, and shoot it my way. I can look. (The article.)

Oh Erin, you look soooooo pretty! And glowingly happy!
Thank you! It was a great day!
Well, for one thing, because we don't personally know the people whose pictures show up on GFY, nor do we mock the book blurbs of people we call friends. There's entertainment value in snobbery, to be sure, but it usually goes down easier when it's not aimed at the people you're talking to.
Thanks, Kate. I was trying to figure out how to say that and you did it for me.
Yes, I tried to get at that point but I think Kate did it better.
Have you had them roasted with a little balsamic vinegar?
No. Does roasting destroy the sulphurophanes?
I don't really understand people who aren't interested in food or who don't like or like to try lots of kinds of food but I don't think that makes you useless!
Well, thanks, but I didn't really say that. I've tried "new" foods; I've found a lot of foods that I like that I didn't have growing up, like kiwifruit and Thai food; it's not that I only like my familiar comfort foods. I've found something I like in almost every "food culture" I tried. (Except Persian. Sorry.) It is true that I don't have a wide range of foods I eat on regular basis, though. I'm not as interested in food as you are, certainly - I'm baffled by all the folks who talk about their food all the time! Happy you're happy, of course; I just don't get people who are so into food. It's great to have a fine gustatory experience, but for every meal? someone else would have to be cooking it! Anything that takes me longer to prepare than to eat annoys me; it feels like a waste of time. I can fry an egg and get on with my business. (People are dying of shock right now, aren't they?)
