Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So I still have this post-nasal drip problem and the flonase is constricting my sinuses but not getting rid of the mucus. Any suggestions for something OTC that will dry me out? Powerful decongestant? Nasal spray? I don't think I'm ready for the neti.

Mucinex.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

bon bon, plain saline nasal spray, while not as efficacious as the neti, can be used for nasal irrigation. Just spray several times up each nostril - I think holding your head over a bowl of steaming water, or taking a really hot shower, first might improve the effects.

Just got off the phone with my swimming friend--she's going to the doctor's tomorrow, so she's definitely not going to be swimming with me today. So, I'm off to the pool now!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

how did the waffles come out?

Decently tasty, but the recipe was startlingly small. It made less than three full waffles. Okay for me, but useless for most people.

Our wings are not tired.

Have fun, Kathy!

Glad Daniel got to work safely, but I do not care for his boss's priorities.

Does anyone have a great recipe for veggie frittata?

bluejeanscable.com has a lot of helpful info!

Thanks! Good to know component supports HD. So have one more HD spot on my TV, and no rush to fill it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Does anyone have a great recipe for veggie frittata?

Sauteed mushrooms and asparagus and your cheese of choice. Probably a good, sharp cheddar.

I'm thinking about making a veggie pot pie for JZ and me. The Whole Foods in our nabe just opened and they've got a decent faux chicken breast. I could cook that in dry sherry with the mushrooms. Some onions. I need something sweet and contrasty for the vegetable but JZ doesn't like peas or carrots. Corn might work, but that's not my first choice. Puff pastry top. Still feels like it's missing something. Color for one thing. But also a contrasting flavor, but not too sharp. Puzzled and puzzed.

I didn't do much swimming, but merely walking up and down the lanes was a workout. Hubby can swim, but his buoyancy is non-existant, and he can't swim fast enough to counter the sinking.

Hubby's scars that are visible with swim trunks: elbows, shoulders, botched gall bladder surgery from 30 years ago (18 inches long, an inch wide in places, and purple), plus the runic pattern that is everything on his lower back. Plus there's the mess that is his shins, from when an ammo dump blew up during a fire he was working back in the 70s (survivalist dump in a national forest in California). The scar on his throat has faded. That's my guy.

Uh, bon? There's a strange umbrella in my living room...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I know whose umbrella that is.
