So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh. I have a shockingly thorough Fan Lore article.

I didn't expect that.

Someone remind me that the answer to hip pain is NOT amputation, please.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Amputating a hip seems impractical.

USDA breaks it down some. [link]

The problem with the USDA lists is you don't know how long the food was above 40 degrees. It takes a full refrigerator an hour or more to start creeping above 40, and food will stay cooler than the refrigerator for a while. I think some of it is way too cautious. Eggs probably hang around that long after they are laid and you can tell if milk has gone bad. In the case of meat, if it smells okay and it's going to be cooked thoroughly, I can't figure out what harm it could do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Luckily, I have no raw (or cooked) meat or eggs in the fridge, and the milk won't be much of a loss. I'm not going to worry about my mustard and ketchup and that kind of mass-produced stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And aren't Americans considered pretty weird for storing eggs in the fridge to begin with?

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

Hip flask?

Now tagless for your comfort.

If you're choosing a foam roller, I suggest you check out one of these.

They are awesome!

I remember reading it has something to do with commercially produced eggs in North America being washed before they are sold, where in Europe they are not. The treatment breaks down the natural protective barrier requiring them to be refrigerated. Of course, I can't find a good source for that now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've read that, too, Sue.
