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.
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.
Buffista conversation #17 - regionalisms!
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'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.

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.
Sox, I say do a mash-up of the two!
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.
