Happy Birthday, Frank!
Our weekend experience was that in-between "not good, but I don't feel like I can complain because so many people have it so much worse."
Our power went out about 11:00 Friday night, came back on about 2:45 Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, Hubs decided that we'd "evacuate" (his word) with the cats to his brother's home. Which involved driving 40 miles. Each way. Twice, because we couldn't fit enough carriers and litter boxes in the car (and we don't have enough carriers for all of the cats). To the accompaniment of much pitiful meowing.
And one of the cats, Cat Ballou (familiarly known as "Bally") is semi-feral and, on her good days, barely tolerates getting petted. We tried to get her first. Long story short, she ended up staying home, and Hubs ended up with a number of lovely scratches.
Bally ended up staying home. Of course, with plenty of (dry) food and water.
By the time we found out we had power, it was too late to get back home on Saturday. So, two trips back on Sunday.
As I said, unpleasant. On the other hand, we are back home with power.
Are her parents Doctor Who fans?
If by "fans" you mean "people who are dimly aware that such a thing as
Doctor Who
exists," then yes. If by "fans" you mean "people who could name a single character who has ever appeared in the history of
Doctor Who
besides the Doctor, whom they may or may not believe to be an actual physician named Who," then in all likelihood emphatically no.
Because I got angry at people here (yes, apparently you will need to recompile--why in shit's name couldn't anyone have told me this last week? I have to get in your face and point out I've been asking the question for days and *need* to know if there's a requirement for a Java developer--it's frustrating how many things have ended up in the project plan because I kept asking the same question over and over until I got a different answer--it's pretty obvious no one is paying full attention to it when I send it out for review. I need to walk everyone through it line by line, and even then, sometimes they don't talk) I took a random tumblr break, and now I've ended up in a space I don't even understand. It seems to be "social justice" and "trans women perpetuate rape culture" and it's miserably fascinating.
I dunno. Tumblr isn't a good place to get angry.
Sorry for the awful, Fred. Glad it wasn't any worse, and that you, Hubs, and the cats are home now, with power.
Happy Birthday, Frank!
Salads: my diet offers, nay, encourages, all the lettuce I can eat. Let's just say I've set a minimum requirement for lettuce and manage to get that down. Salads=not food, in my world. I'd sooner go without, if that's what's for dinner.
I am with t. If I want a salad, a muffin is a poor substitute. But also vice versa. I would say I eat more salads than muffins, because I dislike most coffee shop type muffins. However, homemade ones are delicious. So I'm torn.
Are we sure a zucchini muffin isn't basically the same thing as a salad?
Muffins are definitely food, but made-with-flour means none for me. Still, a bit of cheese, chicken, hummus, or even yogurt or cottage cheese is what my mind accepts as "food".
All of which I can put on a salad with a dab of dressing cut with water and call it dinner. But cutting stuff up myself is tiresome, when what I get at the end of it is "salad."
I just grab a handful of lettuce and eat it unadorned. It's inoffensive, if uninspired.

I thought we were sure it was. Basically.

TOTALLY the same thing. It would be unhealthy to NOT eat zucchini muffins.
I'm a science editor (science!). You can trust me.
