It's Purim this weekend! I should bake hamentaschen. I'd need to buy a rolling pin.

[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

Things get baked for Purim? I have only been told about the dressing up as Esther etc. I'm clearly being neglected by someone who doesn't want to bake for me. Hmph.

Hamentaschen! Triangle-shaped cookies filled with poppy seeds or fruit (or with chocolate or nuts or various other things if you're being modern about it.) Traditionally you give boxes or baskets of food to other people -- the ones I've usually seen pre-made have a few cookies, a little bottle of wine, an orange, and then a few other candies or whatever.

I think of Purim as the cookie, costume and parade [link] holiday, but then the parade is only about two miles from my house.

Purim also includes lots of alcohol.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hil, can you use a wine bottle for a rolling pin?
The dude's website (mademillionaire.org) doesn't seem to exist. Plus, calling your employees "crybabies" is not a turn on for me. I'm odd like that.
I'm in Charlotte airport at the Chili's. Had a craving for the Southwestern eggrolls.

There is a place a block from my Doc's office with killer Hamentaschen but I didn't have a chance to go when I was down there today.
Fortunately, they always carry it, so I'll get some post-Purim cookies when I'm back in a few weeks.

OTOH, my Chili's waiter can call me any time. Getting into a competition with your roommate over who can make the best sandwiches to donate to homeless people? Way more up my alley.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How did things go at the doctor's today, Trudy?

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the ~ma. Just got back to my sister's house. Mom has fluid in both of her lungs and her legs are all puffy, and there is the a-fib thing going on. They gave her a bunch of tests and a bunch of drugs. The cardiologist reports that her echo shows her heart is in great shape and says that the a-fib is not at all unusual considering her age and the lung issues, and best yet, totally controllable.
So heparin, and coumadin, digoxin, and anti-biotics have been administered and she should get better.
