Blueberry bars are baking. They're a bit less blueberry than planned, because I assumed that the bag of blueberries in my freezer was 16 ounces, but then I took it out and realized it was 12 ounces. Then I thought I could make up the difference with other berries, but the only other kind of berry I had in my freezer was strawberries, and that didn't seem right.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Mostly lurking...
WS, I have no idea. I'm sorry!
Just found out that my favorite parent/dear friend/name-sharer is in the hospital with a really serious infection. I just talked to her, and she sounds like she's in good spirits, but I'm scared for her. She had this a year ago too, and they have no idea why she's getting them.
She's got four kids, and they've just got to figure this out.

Oh, vw. So much ma~ to your friend, and happynews~ma, too.
WS, what sj said.
IOpettyMeN: I found out that I'm not being trusted enough to do something (moderating a message board) I'm doing voluntarily for years out of pure fanglisism and respect on the official version, esp. after I got to do this following an "appointing" from one of the band members. I wish I could say I don't care and there are probably stuff I'm not aware of and etc., but it hurts, and I didn't see it coming. I have no idea what's going on, or why suddenly I'm not good enough.

We're going to go play tourist in our new hometown today. Pike Place Market. The kids are hot to check out the down under shops.

They and you are going to love it! Have some lavender ice cream for me, if you find it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
You're going to have So Much Fun! I got a wonderful Andrew Wyeth book at the bookstore there, and walked away from a dozen more I'd like to have gotten, as well. And the fooooood! And the incense store! And, and, and-- You're going to have So Much Fun!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Much healing~ma for your friend, vw!
I ended up going to AutoZone, and it turns out, I just wasn't putting enough force into it. In fact, I'm not entirely certain I have enough strength to get the coolant overflow tank open on my own, even still. Did manage to master the engine oil cap, though.

WS, as JZ says, those caps often have little tongues that have to be matched up with notches and then the cap can be pulled straight up.

That's how the last one was, I think. But this one... just ordinary threaded closure, but for some reason requiring a lot of brute strength.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
