I have had soda that went bad. But I think it was diet. And way past the expiration.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How far past expiration is OK to eat dark chocolate. Have some with "best by" date of January. "Equal Exchange" if brand makes a difference.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It is always ok to eat dark chocolate. If you die from it, then at least you died eating dark chocolate.
Photoshop is eating my brains. It is zombie photoshop. And I wanted to get this newsletter done and printing so I could do other stuff all day but instead I am dinking around in photoshop. Someone tell me now is not the time for my learning curve, and I can put together a perfectly functional version with cute kids in the cover photo, and it will all be fine. My donors are not going to freak out over the brightness and contrast levels of the image of cute kids laughing.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Old chocolate tends to "bloom", where the oils spread to the surface as whitish stains and the body of the bar feels dryer and more brittle. It's OK to eat, but not nearly as tasty.

StillTasty says 1 year if it's opened, 2 years if unopened. So since January = fine.
And I've certainly eaten old chocolate that I've lost on a shelf and found again and had no idea how old it was. It's always been fine.
Time for Good Enough, Liese. Save your brains.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Those are pretty, bon bon, but I want to wear heels. Until it's time to change into my shiny silver chucks for dancing!
Are you wearing a floor-length dress? You probably already know this but if not, make sure the dress is hemmed for the flat shoe.

I am listening to a French pop song called "Telephone Douche". It's rather distracting.
(Apparently it translated into "Telephone Shower"?)

Punishingly Intricate
Like Dorothy's ruby slippers, only silver!
Pretty! I shall bookmark in case the being stretched ones don't work.

I'll talk to my dress ladies about it. I want to wear heels for as long as I can bear it and then change when I can't any more.
