smonster -very good flavor (assuming you mix other flavors in soy sauce) not much protein. But very rare for Americans to be protein deprived so would not worry about that for one meal

Eesh, tommyrot. Good for wearing a helmet.

I am getting a little concerned that I need to get an air conditioner for my cat. It is so hot. She is old and is wearing a fur coat, and does not like to drink water under the best of circumstances. And she is meowing like a meowy thing.

Also, the only difference I can tell between dress slacks and women's slacks would be that maybe dress slacks are for men, and slacks for women are, well, for women. I have to admit, that I specifically picture a lined, pleated pant that is rather high waisted for women's slacks, while in my head, men's "slacks" are polyester dress pants from the 70's. This is why dress codes are trouble. Ours is "dress appropriately" which is a little vague.

Ours is "dress appropriately" which is a little vague.

Well, yes. If everyone knew how to dress appropriately, we'd not need a dress code to begin with, sillyheads.

I would worry more about my cat in the heat if he seemed to appreciate the air conditioning when I have it on in the bed room -- he leaves to go back out into the heat! Nutter.

Tonight Dylan and I made strawberry cheesecake ice cream - heavy cream + sugar + strawberry jelly + cream cheese. And then for good measure we swirled in some chocolate sauce while it was freezing.

Holy crap, that sounds awesome.

Cats were domesticated in Egypt, right? I'd guess they're built to handle heat pretty well.

My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys."

I'd rather have that than "ladies", which is what my boss uses since she is often addressing only women.

Stupid generations of northern europeans!!

went back out to get boxes from a nearby friend. still nasty gross and my shoes STINK. ugh. smelly nasty day. I did finish off a couple of small boxes that had wee bits of empty space at the top, got them full, taped, and labeled.

I think my goal for tonight will be to: finish the box with hardware stuff, finish the box of pantry stuff, and pack everything out of my closets or two medium boxes whichever is more. Then if that is done before 11, list more things on ebay.

There"s a huge bump on my leg, the size of a silver dollar. It's sticking out more than half an inch. am icing it now.

I don`t find a noticeable mineral taste to my fizzy water added to juice. You fizz the water, not the juice itself, so you might want to make juice from concentrate and use less water, then you can add the fizz. We significantly reduced our recycling, because the SO drinks a lot of pop. It is only somewhat less than buying soda because you do have to continue to buy the flavoring. Technically you can buy the actual Coke syrups, but I have yet to try that, mostly because I`ve been happy with the Sodastream ones. There are also energy drinks and flavored water things like lemon.
