Happy birthday, Tom!
I'm making split pea soup.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hivemind question - I have a pack of chicken sausage, the uncooked kind you slice off and cook in patties. Anyway, I bought the package a week or so ago and when I took it out of the fridge tonight the thing was tight with air, is this a sign it's gone bad?

msbelle,
my advice is don't eat it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A kind of rough family dinner tonight -- started off learning that my second cousin's husband died suddenly at 49 -- they have 5 or 6 kids, three in college. Holy crap. And then my grandmother couldn't get the food down. Or out, apparently. Eventually she seemed OK, but my mother really wanted to take her to the hospital.
Oy.
Glad your family is more or less OK, Sue.

Oy indeed, Jesse.

Wow, that sounds hard Jesse!
msbelle, that does not sound good. Is there a date on it?
I had not heard about this pine nut thing--if it lasts WEEKS that sounds AWFUL!
Happy Birthday Tom!!

I wouldn't eat it.

msbelle, I'd avoid the airtight package and I'm sort of notoriously lax on food safety.
Happy Birthday, Tom!
Sue, sorry about the sister-act stuff and glad things are holding steady with your dad.
My dad has been admitted through the ER into the local hospital for gall stones. Poor guy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Tom!
Hi Nilly! Bye Nilly!
Brian Regan, I think?
"Baconbaconbacon! Gimme what's in the bag, I can't reeeeeead!" Regan did the voice for the original commercials. Or maybe it was his brother, Whosit Regan, I don't remember. One of them.
Oy. Discussing remodeling the front entry with the husband is fraught and exhausting. Especially when he's speaking Norm Abrams and I can remember the difference between pressure treated and composite molded, but not the terms. Oy again. I think we have reached an agreement on both terminology and application. And soon, front steps!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Birthday, Tom Scola!
Good thoughts for everyone's family members who need them.
I am stressing the hell out over this stupid business trip, just as I do every year. I don't have the right clothes, I don't want to fly, yada yada whine. The actual "business" part of it doesn't bother me at all. It's the thought of getting everything else done just right. I also have a deep fear that my expanded ass won't fit in the tiny JetBlue seat and they'll throw me off the plane. This probably won't happen. Probably. Damn it, is there any chance I can get the flu in the next two days?
