Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

I'm still coughing. I don't know if that counts as still ill. But being out in the cold does make the coughing worse.

Oh, and McQueary was placed on indefinite administrative leave.

That counts as being ill. No candles! No vigil!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Definitely stay out of the cold, Hil.

Coughing is definitely ill. Do you want pneumonia? If the answer is no, don't go.

If this were B'racy, we would have opened a discussion thread on this by now.

OK, OK, I won't go.

Snerk! Never change, my friends, never change...

My mom and sisters get my magazine subscriptions as part of bday/Xmas presents. Mom got me a two-fer deal a year ago, and added a script for Better Homes & Gardens, and I thought :Old lady mag, what a waste of paper, UGH."

Well. I am an old lady, apparently, because I LOVE BH&G now. I really, really like it; the format is so much more modern than what I remember, and they have a great website.

She got a two-fer for Woman's Day, too, for me, and that IS kind of a waste of paper. It isn't my cup of tea.

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

I think that sounds like a great gift. Cooking mags are the useful kind of thing that I wouldn't buy for myself. My parents did the same for me with a sub to Consumer Reports.

Sox, hope my dad's answer helped some. Feel free to ask him more, he likes these sort of thought exercises. And since he's retired....

I have a BH&G cookbook. Mainly use it as a reference for baking. I'm pretty incapable of not tweaking a recipe, and pretty much only use it as a jumping off point for temps, times and proportions. But then, I don't really bake or cook much.
