This is odd. I just glanced at my cable box, and the place where it usually shows the time currently says 16:9. Turning it on then off again fixed it, but I wonder what that meant.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

smonster needs a transporter.
Or a time-turner. Or some more brain cells. But I've settled for animal crackers dipped in Nutella.

We also say "gumband" for "rubberband" which my from-elsewhere spouse can't get over.
And yeah, I shouldn't call the dropped infinitives wrong, but they are certainly non-standard.
ETA: And we use the word "nebby" for somebody who is nosy; I didn't know that wasn't common till about 3 years ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've seen the beer samplers like Jess's picture, but I haven't seen them called flights. It wouldn't surprise me, though.
I'm gonna guess it's like flights of stairs, things grouped together, rather than flying.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, that's a tv format. I'm guessing the remote button got squished on the button that toggles 4:3 and 16:9.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So, recipes. Laurie Colwin's creamed spinach is here: [link]
Only change I'd suggest is to *either* use pepperjack cheese *or* monterrey jack + jalapenos. (The original recipe is monterrey jack + jarred jalapenos, I usually use pepperjack as a shortcut.)
The mac & cheese I usually make is here.

Gah. My hand slipped while I was putting Orajel on my wisdom tooth, and I ended up numbing most of my mouth. This feels really weird and wrong.

New thread! And baby girl! And Barb's birthday! Hurray!
Just one quick comment on the childbirth thing--I'll likely never experience it myself, but I was my friend K's sole birthing coach when I was 21, and it was a truly awe-inspiring, life-changing event for me. I will always be grateful I got to experience it. (Wasn't pretty or pain-free, but it sure was incredible.)

Good news: I may get to tear up the leave slip I was going to turn in for 5 hrs of vacation this Friday.
Bad news: This means I'm still at work.
