Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
"I'm thinking of picking up an extra bottle of wine after work" is not, in fact, an appropriate response to the news that you're in the mandatory evacuation zone.
Pfft. Having grown up in South Florida where Hurricane parties were common, I think that's a perfectly sane response.
Wine will be potable even if the water isn't.
ETA: Sorry, you have to be worried about your mater and that was a rather flippant comment. I hope no matter what happens, she stays safe, and that loss of life and homes is minimal for all involved.
My mother is actually leaving NY early because of the hurricane. Normally she travels to them, not away.
No worries, Andi - I'm 90% amused as hell, and the other 10% is mostly thinking they'll be more inconvenienced than they seem to be planning for. I'd be surprised at actual harm to the de-luxe apartment in the sky, but I'm still @@
It looks like a lot of people have the same idea: [link]
I wish I could get Good Night Irene out of my head.
Don't you have special nail polish spreadsheets?
I have a spreadsheet of gluten-free recipes that I've bookmarked. I ought to just make those into PDFs, and will at some point, but it's useful to just look at the spreadsheet and know I have a recipe for, say, corn pudding or pumpkin pie (yes, I am already anticipating what I can bring to Thanksgiving to ensure that I get to eat more than dry turkey and olives).
Relatedly, I am going to make cookies right now.

I remember being caught in a blizzard in Tennessee some (lots) years back and being shocked that the bars were closed.
Sorry about the root canal Teppy.
I'm planning on making a chicken stew type thing tonight. I walked downtown some and I went to the yarn shop where I'd bought some sock weight yarn to make a scarf and showed it to the owner. She was really impressed (she knits but hasn't learned to crochet) and while I was there a couple other knitters stopped by and liked what I'd started. It was a neat feeling.
She's starting a knitting/crochet group in a couple of weeks and I'm going and excited to learn stuff = there are going to be classes at some point - but also to get a social outlet.

You and me both. It doesn't help that it has this verse:
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
Just to jump in the river and drown.
