I am going to have to try out one of those Welsh cakes recipes. They look delicious.

Meanwhile car is at the dealership getting a new airbag installed or something. Recall. It's taking hours, but eh, what else were we going to do with the day?

As for that "aging badly" site, I can't even process singling out most of those folks, but esp Adele and the two teens.

Don't 14-16 year old girls want to look like they are in their 20s? At least some of the time. I know I did.

Perzactly. I looked about 12 when I was 16 and there wasn't really much I could do about it.

Cool, thanks Suzi & -t. I've texted my sister to see what she wants. I'm sort of tempted to spring for one of the packages, just to get the added luxury and the meal. It would be a bit expensive, but it's nice to treat oneself.

In an index, I'd put in a line like "Mos Def, see Yasiin Bey" for reference but use Yasiin to label the pictures, but I don't know if there's a way to translate that to the web.

It's been yonks since I've been to the Claremont, but it's lovely.

So I was home sick yesterday. Up in the middle of the night with chills then sweats, generally achey and yucky. slept until 11, continued feeling weak , but no fever and various foods all did fine.

This morning feel better, so came to work (mac drama llama'd but wtf, so over it - grandmama is dealing and he will owe me $35 for wasting a camp day), am so behind because it is/was month end/new month and that is 4 reports to get together and not everyone gets me their stuff and then half the people are on vacation. So anyway....they email us this morning "HEY YAY! WE CAN ALL LEAVE AT 3!!"

Except - no, no I cannot because my work is not done and boss will be in on Thursday and will want these reports. Bah being sick. Bah Bah Bah.

Bah is right msbelle. It used to drive me crazy on all those early out days when I'd still be doing my usual 10 plus hours.

I definitely enjoyed my day at the spa at the Claremont. Go for it, Consuela.

I just found out that my BFF kicked her husband of over 20 years out the door. She had sent me a message on FB with this bombshell...in the middle of a bunch of other stuff. Once I picked my jaw up off the floor, we talked on the phone. While there had been strain on the marriage, the final straw was finding out he had been molesting their daughter. I just. When they say "it is the quiet ones"...yep, at least in this case. But...I mean...OMG. Totally gobsmacked. I wish I didn't live so far away from her.

Oh, Suzi. That is terrible.

I'm sort of tempted to spring for one of the packages, just to get the added luxury and the meal. It would be a bit expensive, but it's nice to treat oneself.

Doooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Gah Suzi, that is awful. I hope she prosecutes him.

Oh, man, Suzi, that's awful. I hope your friend can get her daughter the care she needs to deal with this.

Several weeks ago I saw a play called "Black and Blue Boys" and it was all about sexual (and physical) abuse of boys, by both men and women. It was well done, but also horrifying, especially when the actor took the audience into the mind of one of the pedophiles.
